Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business
Look Before You Speak
Linda Kundell, a New York-based public
speaking coach has some advice for the public
speakers among us: Scope out the room before
you start your remarks. Kundell says that
rooms have their own personalities, with
unique acoustics and lighting. Before your
audience arrives, get to know the room. Does
the lighting need adjustments? Is there enough
light on your notes so you don’t have to
strain? Do a sound check to be certain you can
be heard at the back of the room. And stand at
the podium to see what it feels like. Then
walk around the perimeters of the room to
develop a “physical” memory of the space. It
will add to your comfort.
Web site Spruce Up
Want to give your Web site a fresh look?
Revise the color palette. Colors go in and out
of style. Use the latest hues, and your site
looks up-to-date to visitors. Turn to clothing
fashions and home furnishings for guidance on
the newest color combinations. For instance,
Far East colors, like persimmon and saffron,
have enjoyed a run in home furnishings. And
jewel tones are the rage in women’s fashion. A
bit of colorful window dressing will give your
Web site new appeal.
