When we think of highly impactful speakers the image we conjure in our minds is often the most rarefied of all speakers – the keynote speaker or performer. A good keynote ‘performer’ is amazing … and that’s not where most of us mere mortals ‘sit’. In this episode I talk about the distinctions between a keynote performer, a ‘presenter’, a ‘pitcher’ or a conversationalist. Which one do you want to be ‘more’ of?

In this week’s episode I am answering listener questions … two listeners in the course of a week asked me ‘can you give me some tips to MC an event?’ … so here is that episode! If you have the opportunity to MC an event your job is so much more than just ‘traffic cop’, introducing the speakers and letting people know where the bathrooms are.

Want to be an impactful, powerful and authentic expression of yourself? That’s exactly what I teach inside the Impactful Presenters Program.

In other words, how to be authentic? But still impactful. So that’s EXACTLY what this episode is about … how to use structures, frameworks, ‘recipes’ but

The fear of public speaking is often cited as a fear greater than death. But when you peel back the layers on what that’s REALLY about … it’s not being scared of public speaking. It’s being scared of being rejected. Of being thought stupid. Of being disliked. Kate Toon is my guest this week and with 15 years of business experience sitting snugly in her gym tights, 40 speaking events in just one year, and a resident expert on Kochie’s Business Builders, she has confronted this fear over and over

Well, that’s the topic of this week’s Speaking with Confidence episode.

Do you ever (often, perhaps) find yourself in the ‘speaking weeds’, talking through a dense range of details, data, statistics or just circling round and round through background context … and losing your audience in the process?
