Episode #11 - Interview with Eric Feng Thursday, October 4th 2007 @ 2:04 AM (not yet rated)
How can I overcome stage fright? What can I do to engage and connect with an audience? We've all asked those questions. In fact, some of us are still looking for answers (especially that first one, eh?)! Search no more! Professional speaker and public speaking coach Eric Feng joins us from Singapore today share his insights on these and other questions...and to tell us about his new book, The FAQ Book on Public Speaking.
Listen in as Bo throws Eric on the HOTSEAT as a gameshow contestant (remember what we did to poor Margaret Page in Episode #8 ?). Can Bo Bennett stump "Fearless FAQ Feng"?
Special Bonus: I'll bet you don't have an embarrassing speaking story that'll top the one Eric shared with us. Hint: it has to do with a wireless microphone in the restroom before going onstage!
(By the way, if you DO have a story that's just as embarrassing...or even close...share it with us! Maybe we'll even have you on the show!)
