Public Speaking, Confidence, Storytelling, Selling, Personal Brand, Career Advancement: Be In Demand

You have two ears and one mouth, to listen more than you speak.

More often than not, we fall into passive listening, where we’re waiting for a break in the conversation to speak again. Active listening is an unutilized skill and will help you gleam more information about your presentation, what clients want more or and what really resonated with them.

Public speaking is a skill that you’ll always be fine tuning and changing. To take information that’s not included on feedback forms is one way of creating new presentations for the future and perfecting the one you’ve given.

On today’s episode we dive into the benefits of really listening to what your audience is asking for in their comments and questions.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How to capture what’s being said and asked without relying on your memory, which really can be either forgotten or summarized later when you’re recalling the information.
• What audience questions and comments are really telling you about your topic and future topics.
• How to construct your own feedback from what others are saying.
• Tips and tricks to gather and analyze this data from both in person and virtual speaking events.

PLUS, you can use these cues during one on one conversations with clients, family and friends.

Elsewine Rietveld is a former deer in headlights when it comes to making videos & speaking in public. She was so terrified to record her first video, that she walked straight out of the room where the camera was set up.

Over time, she has found an effective method on how to get comfortable on camera and is sharing techniques from her Confidence Creation Framework with you in her book. As well as a video strategy, a content plan that gives you at least 75 ideas and you can write in 30-60 minutes, and effective mindset techniques. Her P.I.R.A.T.E. technique of doing live videos is also included and lots of dos and don'ts.

Some people feel it takes a great deal of courage and will power to change your life, your health, your relationships, your money habits. The truth is every journey starts with a single step.

Today, my friend Michael Kithcart and I had a real conversation on how we went from feeling stuck in doing and having no choices to turning our lives and businesses around.

We share how we did that, the program that we took that ended the course roller coaster we were both on.
