• Long-winded introductions about why the person is qualified to give the lecture (like 1/2 an hour’s worth).
  • Vague speeches about how far they’ve come (“I went from making $18 dollars last year to making six figures and all from opening myself to the power of opportunity!”).
  • Buzzwords (“Empower yourself!” “Uplift others!” “Spread love!”)
  • Lack of concrete examples showcasing their success.
  • Dumb questions from the tele-audience.
  • The weird, breathy, kind of “I’m on Prozac” tone of voice.
