"This is an unusual blog; the art of public speaking is crucial to politics and yet there's not much devoted to it specifically. This blog does, with posts combining accounts of the writer's recent engagements with some handy hints. Given some of the turgid speeches we're forced to suffer in the Commons, more MPs could do with reading it". politics.co.uk
"Nick spoke at our joint meeting with Kingston 41 Club. It was a brilliant evening. Nick is an engaging speaker, witty, topical and very interesting. He spoke for three quarters of an hour without notes, a most knowledgeable man. I cannot recommend Nick enough and can assure you that engaging him is a worthwhile endeavour. I wish you a great evening like ours". Manny Martins Vice Chairman of Hamble Valley Stick Club and 41 Club Regional Councillor, Region 24.
"Your speech to our 9 Rotary Clubs in North Surrey was much appreciated by me and I have received lots of feedback which was very positive about you. It was so refreshing to hear someone who has the wit to make us laugh throughout the evening without resort to 'blue' material and swearing. I do hope many others will get the chance to experience your talents". Howard Smith, Assistant Governor Area 1 Rotary District 1140.

Re: Good or bad influence? Ability v credibility in public speaking

Nick R Thomas A.L.A.M. (Public Speaking)
Hi Lisa,
Well, I was careful to say 'at least some' of these speakers! Maybe it depends upon the nature of the wrong-doing, In the case you mentioned, the loss of respect is pretty clear-cut whereas perhaps with some financial irregularities - particularly if they were a long time ago - there may be more room for a kind of rehabilitation of our respect.
The same perhaps goes for infidelities. As someone from outside the US, it never appeared to me that respect for Bill Clinton's hugely impressive public speaking (both in terms of charisma and technical ability) was dented too much by his, er, 'difficulties!'
