The Monday Morning Memo


Ruth Milligan is the public speaking trainer who was the driving force behind TEDxColumbus where she spent a decade observing good and bad presenters. Today she is helping people improve their presentation skills before large auditorium audiences, intimate groups of employees, and most importantly, customers. Ruth doesn’t tell people what they should talk about. She says that to produce the desired results, what you say is less important than how you say it.

Random Quote:

“RULE 1: The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going ‘Beep-Beep!’

RULE 2: No outside force can harm the Coyote – only his own ineptitude or the failure of the Acme products.

RULE 3: The Coyote could stop anytime – if he were not a fanatic. (REPEAT: ‘A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim.’ – George Santayana)

RULE 4: Now dialogue ever except, ‘Beep-Beep!’

RULE 5: The Road Runner must stay on the road, otherwise, logically, he would not be called Road Runner.

RULE 6: All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters – the Southwest American Desert.

RULE 7: All materials, tool, weapons, or other mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme corporation.

RULE 8: Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote’s greatest enemy.

RULE 9: The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.”
