More about the Church Media Checklist for Holiday Programs (or how to avoid the nightmare before Christmas)
1. Start preparation early. Whether it’s live, multi-cam or video-taped, get your hands on a script or musical score as soon as possible.
2. Bring your crew into the planning process. Your media team and volunteers may have valuable ideas that can help the production.
3. Understand lighting differences. Make sure you understand the difference between stage lighting and television lighting.
4. Create a shot list. Always have a plan.
5. Stop screaming and yelling. If you’re directing a Christmas or Easter presentation and you lose control, you instantly lose respect with your team.
6. Use cuts and dissolves correctly and know the difference between them. There should be a purpose behind your choices.
7. Shoot a rehearsal. It’s worth the extra money and time to bring in a paid staff or your volunteers.
8. Have a debriefing. Especially when you have multiple performances, shoot and debrief after each one.
9. Toss out normal service camera rules. Don’t be afraid to move the cameras around according to the script or music plan.

*More About This Episode* Public Speaking: Tips for Leading a Short Devotional
There are many opportunities in the Christian world where you may be asked to lead a short devotion. It might be to begin a conference, open a board meeting, before introducing a main speaker, at the start of a big meeting, and more. However, so many people completely blow the point of a devotion that I wanted to share these reminders of how to make it memorable.
How to make your speech memorable:
1. Start with scripture. Focus their mind on God.
2. Don’t preach. Make it conversational. Share from your heart.
3. Open with a personal story to build a stronger connection with your audience - but keep it short.
4. This is not your chance to pitch your project or brilliant ideas! The devotional time isn’t about you, it’s about focusing the audience on God or the conference theme.
5. Respect the schedule. Keep to your given time frame. Practice with the clock!
You may not be the keynote or main speaker, but being asked to give a short devotional is an honor. Do it well and people will remember you for the rest of their lives.

*More About This Episode* Public Speaking Tips: 6 Tools to Help You Get Hired as a SpeakerIf you’re serious about being a speaker at any level, here’s my recommended list of what you need to make available to anyone who can book you for an event:
1) A list of potential topics: I always keep an updated list of keynote and workshop sessions I’m capable of doing.
2) Different length bios: I keep short, medium, and long biographies that will not only give the planner an idea of my background and areas of expertise but also allow them to easily use them in the program or on the event website.
3) Your official title and byline: Make sure they know who you are! And don’t forget a “byline” – which is essentially a one-sentence description of you.
5) A short, well-written introduction: You can’t always depend on a conference host or MC to write a good introduction for you, so don’t take chances.
6) Your online and social media links: Conferences often publish your social media and website links in the program or put them on the video screen while you speak.
Don’t wait until you get asked to speak to prepare these items! It may take a while to pull all of this together, so do it now, and you’ll always be ready. Remember – the easier you make it for the people who can hire you as a speaker, the better your chances of getting selected!

*More About This Episode* I’ve Failed. Now What?Resilience is the ability to come back from failure. If you’ve failed or been rejected, these five steps can be the key to help you move past failure and on to success:
1. Don’t overthink it. Don’t get obsessed thinking about what you could have done better.
2. Don’t take it personally. It’s easier said than done, but learn to separate criticism of the project from criticism of you.
3. Find objective advice. Find another experienced person that you trust and run the project by them for a second opinion.
4. Ask for constructive criticism. At the moment of failure or rejection, keep a cool head and ask for constructive criticism.
5. Don’t let failures derail your dream. It happens! Keep moving forward.
Don’t be afraid to fail, especially if you’re expanding your tent poles. If you’re breaking new ground or trying new things – that’s not the time to be timid! That’s the time to try things, and if you fail, learn from your failures and move on.
