Is vulnerability the silver bullet to speaking success? Not necessarily. A presentation infused with personal anecdotes can be powerful, but when you’re in the midst of a vulnerability hangover you’re just exposing yourself and giving your audience too much information, rather than leaving them changed. Every time you step on the stage, you must ask yourself if there is a lesson for your audience by the story you share with them.

Today, we explore how you can check in with yourself to know if you are about to share too much information in your presentation and we discuss:

• Brene Brown’s research on vulnerability and her sage advice about being selective about who you are vulnerable with
• The three questions you need to ask yourself if you’re wondering if you should share your story or if it’s just TMI
• Vulnerability is a choice. It’s not mandatory to share your darkest secrets with the audience to become a phenomenal speaker or deliver a successful presentation
