One way to satisfy the minds in your audience is to give them something they do not know.

Think of the mind as an organ that eats information. We feed it on a daily basis. Most of what it eats is the same thing, over and over. So something tasty to the mind would be something that mattered and yet something the mind did not know.

Here are a few examples of speech topics with the research.

The Effects of Exposure to Radiation The most important aspect to this is that there are scientific studies that show that boosting your intercellular glutathione will help in several ways.

Boosting your glutathione can be accomplished by several means, including supplements that contain NAC.

A second related topic is Swine Flu.

There is a treatment safer than Tamaflu. It was tested twice in double blind placebo tests with elderly patients.

Go to The Swine Flu Page to get an overview. Once done, check out the link on Glutathione and Swine Influenza where you will find the reports, two of them.

The first study is the bird flu. The second, swine flu.

Again, the treatment was NAC. It was so simple, inexpensive, no side effects and so effective that, even if the patients got the H1N1, they did not need treatment.

Next, season the mental food differently. Most people will think or say, “what pharmaceutical companies do not want you to know” regarding this info.

The fact is, it is made by pharmaceutical companies. They just do not see a profit in it. They could care less if you know. Why should they promote something that is not going to make them money. They are in business to make money. They are not charitable organizations.

The audience, now as educated consumers, can live well, inexpensive and prosper.

Good health to you and Speak well.

There are 10,000 different facial expressions, 3000 expressions that relate to emotions, and seven universal emotions.

Reading the facial expression communication will help you meet the needs of your audience. I have known of this for over a few decades ago, I believe on seeing a movie called the Scarlet Pumpernickel. The detective observed what are now known as micro expressions. Some are naturals at reading faces and body language. Others learn. Some choose not to.

Where ever you fall, check out the newest posting on the Communication Page. The link is Facial Expression Communication

An e-zine recently reported UCLA Study Shows Word Meanings Are Less Than 10% Of A Message.

It concluded that about 90% of the emotional information came from body language and tone of voice.

This was fascinating reading. Only thing, it was from a 1967 study that by the admission of the author was misapplied and misquoted.

This illustrates the need for public speakers to research all that they say and the information that they use to make sure it is accurate. Learn how to ask questions about what you read and hear.

I just posted at Speechmastery.com under Breaking News Speech Topic 4-27-09 about
The Great Swine Flu Epidemic.

This topic will not only allow you to talk about a timely topic, it will also allow you to provide some scientific info on what can be done to protect ourselves from this deadly disease.

Make sure to check the abstract at the National Institute of Health site about A nutritional supplement formula for (avian) influenza A infection in humans.

Note the dates. Note the solution. Want more info…check out The Glutathione Disease Cure.com Site More information will be posted there in the next few days. The same prophylactic support will be found with the swine flu.

Simply, a couple of Brazil nuts a day and boost your glutathione and you probably will die of something other than Avian Flu according to the study and very likely, due to similarities, swine flu.

Note: When ever posting something like this I get a flood of e-mail and even phone calls. I really do not mind. However, for those who see marketing potential, well, you may be better than I but go ahead and contact me. I am already an independent distributor of two products that boost intercellular glutathione. I am more interested in speaking and studying the science but putting bread on the table is always fine. Besides, I have no fear of getting it or any other disease. I rarely get sick these days.

One of the ways to make money from public speaking is offering back of the room products. It is a good idea if you create your own products that they are copyrighted.

There are numerous urban legends on the poormans copyright. You might do well to learn about what it is and what you really need to do to protect your work.

Speak well and prosper.

Writing is a daunting task for many. However if you want to make any money from public speaking, start writing. Let me give you a brief real example that is unfolding.

I was asked to write a series of web based articles for a chimney liner manufacturer. Only a few days after posting the first article Do It Yourself Stainless Steel Chimney Liner it made it to the first page.

Then armed with a little expertise, the owner of the manufacturing company gave me the OK and now I are going to go speak to a small group within the industry. My pay will come from the owner of the company. It will not be much but will allow me to network.

Indeed the networking has already paid off since the speaking engagement has led to another. Only thing, the second speaking gig will allow me to have back of the room sales. I could easily make $1500 for the second gig. And from there, get more speaking gigs.

This all started with writing an article for the web.

Speak well and prosper.

I stumbled upon this great piece by Michael Shermer. It is called the Monty Hall Problem. It has been expressed in a number of different mathematical theories through the years. This simplifies it a bit.

You can use this as a public speaker to give your audience a paradigm shift. Get them to question what they believe.

You will find the posting from the Skepticblog there also.

Have fun.

The best humor is that which you do not use overtly but the audience loves. One way to use covert humor is finding incongruity.

One example of incongruity is Help Desk Humor

This is a link to a survey of over 100 CIO’s and the questions staff had to deal with.

Please come back and add to the list if you know any more.

Cheers and Speak well.
