> "Even when I'm on my game and things are going well, some people will
> always be doing something other than listening," Scott Berkun observes
> in his soon to be published book from O'Reilly, "Confessions of a Public
> Speaker." In a slideshow posted recently on Forbes.com, Berkun offers
> advice and a behind the scenes look at the life of a public speaker. For
> example, Berkun advises, "Sit in the cheap seats before your talk to
> remind yourself of how much energy you need to project so that you don't
> look like a zombie on stage." See what public speakers do, according to
> Berkun.
