Ep. 313 DO YOU ATTRIBUTE

Well-chosen quotations, song lyrics, poetry and statistics can enhance any presentation. However, it’s important to attribute the sources and let our audiences know the sources for validation. If we don’t attribute, we might become unforgettable…for the wrong reason.

 

SNIPPETS:

 

• Provide the sources for polls, studies, statistics, and research findings

 

• “Studies show”, “research proves,” “a recent poll reveals” isn’t enough

 

• Attribute lyrics, quotations poetry etc. to their source

 

• Quote accurately; someone always spots errors

 

• Misquoting can negatively affect your credibility

 

• Do your due diligence and verify quotations and sources

 

• Verify using more than one source

 

• Don’t use too many quotations/lyrics/statistics, etc.

 

• Use AI wisely and verify the results that AI provides

 

• Never plagiarize; you will harm your reputation
