Handling A Bad Interview

Handling a bad interview is quite an art. I liked how this interviewer kept his cool and kept asking questions even when the “star” of this interview was clearly being difficult and unresponsive.

The interviewer clearly defined what was going wrong with the guest and tried to work around the guests problems. This clip made me a fan of Jian Ghomeshi and not so much of a fan of Billy Bob Thorton and his band.

have you dealt with a bad panelist or interview at one of your events? I would love to hear your war stories.

Engaging Your Audience With Characters

I just finished interviewing Michael Fischette from www.FunnyBusinessProductions.com and thought I would pass on this video of some of the work he has done being the “voice of the audience” This is a fantastic idea to engage audiences by weaving a memorable experience through storytelling. Remember that you need to make face to face meetings as interesting as possible so you can drive those attendees to your desired action.

Michael Has been doing this for a long time and knows how to read the audience and executives which is so so important. Look for the interview which should be posed soon. It might give you some ideas for your next meeting.
