Video Blog: 1×1 Feedback for Mayor Gavin Newsom

Ben DeckerPosted by Ben Decker   |   December 1st, 2009   |   1 Comment   |  Tweet This

Thank you for all the response on my last video blog! I’m happy to keep them coming, so here we go with a second quick video where I’ll talk about communication in the news.

Remember, I also want to give you feedback! Video tape yourself at a meeting or giving a presentation and send it to me. Getting feedback is the most essential way to take your communication to the next level.

In the meantime, here’s some more off-the-cuff 1×1 feedback, this time for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in a touchy interview on CBS5 last week.

Enjoy – and send your videos to me at blog@decker.com!

PS – Tune in early next week for more 1×1 feedback! According to the marketing department, I’ll be talking about Tiger Woods’ upcoming press conference (if it ever happens!). Can’t wait to see how he presents his point of view.

Video Blog: Carrie Prejean on the Today Show

Ben DeckerPosted by Ben Decker   |   November 12th, 2009   |   10 Comments   |  Tweet This

Here’s my first attempt at a video blog! This is hopefully one of many quick videos where I’ll give feedback for communication in the news.

I also want to give you feedback! Send me a video of you giving a presentation, doing Q&A, or rehearsing a speech (less than 10 mins please) and I’ll choose one to post about each week or so. Don’t worry – I’ll be very nice, but also honest so that my feedback can help.

In the video below, I’m giving some off-the-cuff 1×1 feedback for Carrie Prejean’s recent (and somewhat hostile) interview on the Today Show (1×1 feedback is a modified version of Decker’s 3×3 keepers and improvements because the video clip is so short.)

Enjoy – and send your videos to blog@decker.com!
