If you want to be a fantastic speaker, you have to be able to make any topic really interesting -- even if you aren't that excited about it.

A couple of weeks ago, I gave you my Presentation Skills Checklist. And last week, we covered step one in that checklist which was know your audience. If you haven't had a chance to listen to that episode yet, the things I covered were essential in creating better presentations and reducing public speaking nervousness.

Know Your Audience before Designing Presentation

Fearless Presentations ·

2026/01/12

Last week, I gave you my Presentation Skills Checklist. And step one in that checklist was to know your audience. Listen to any speaking coach, go to any Toastmasters, attend any presentation seminar, you will hear a single phrase over and over. “Know your audience.” Sounds really good too. When we hear the phrase, we think, “Well, of course. That makes sense.” But what exactly does “know your audience mean?” Is there a formula to help a speaker know his or her audience better? Well, yes, the...

Music Is the Key to Accent Reduction?

Fearless Presentations ·

2025/12/22

A few years ago, my wife and I went to see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. When I was a kid, I remember hearing Another One Bites the Dust and We Are the Champions, but I was by no means a Queen fan. I was surprised, though, how many songs from the movie I knew every word to. But, I have to admit, the most surprising thing to me was that Freddie Mercury was a Persian Indian man who lived in England. When I listened to the songs, there was no Persian accent. No Indian accent. And there was no Bri...

How to Introduce Yourself

Fearless Presentations ·

2025/12/15

One of the more challenging parts of any presentation is the very first part. If you are wondering how to introduce yourself before starting your presentation, you are in good company. For most of us, once we get the first few sentences out, our nervousness will diminish pretty significantly. So, this initial self-introduction is really important. If we struggle here, our nervousness will increase. In addition, the old adage, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” is very ...

So, on this episode, I'll give you the seven presentation habits that actually cause public speaking fear. They are: 1) Writing Your Presentation Word-for-Word 2) Designin...
