In this session, communications coach Mike Kelly from Speak The Speech, highlights key strategies for delivering engaging virtual presentations, meetings and interviews
Stressing the importance of a strong first impression, he introduces “height, light, and sight” as a quick way to look more professional on camera.
Mike also focuses on how “credible passion” and effective pacing, especially well-timed pauses, help sustain audience attention. Drawing on techniques used by performers, he emphasises clear structure, including a strong ‘hook’, a concise ‘purpose statement’, and a ‘memorable conclusion’.
Finally, Mike addresses online fatigue, encouraging participants to switch up communication methods, hide self-view to reduce mirror anxiety, and reclaim their energy when virtual calls become overwhelming.
Mikes overarching message is that with a little intentional preparation, anyone can project confidence and connection in online environments.
