Before presenting at work, sharing a talk on stage or communicating an important message, it’s natural to feel nervous.

However, if we allow our nerves to go unchecked, they can build up and lead to tension in the body. Especially in those moments just before we want to communicate with confidence.

This can have the effect of making us feel even more anxious.

So that we find ourselves becoming overwhelmed with nerves and feel unprepared or even cause us to panic, right at the last minute before speaking.

That why in today’s episode I share a technique for dealing with last minute nerves before speaking in public.

Adding humour into your talks and presentations is a great way to bring attention to the point you are making.

And helps your listeners to better remember it.

And if you're feeling anxious, adding a little humour into your talks and presentations, will help you to relax.

As you will feel more connected to your audience when they respond to your humour.

Not everyone is comfortable with using humour in their talks, but like any skill practice makes perfect.

And if you gently introduce humour into your talks and presentations, you will quickly gain more confidence in doing it.

That’s why in today's episode I share with you how to add humour to your talks and presentations without being a comedian.

*  The first technique is - ‘How to get a laugh without telling a joke’.

*  The second technique is - ‘Where to find humorous things to talk about’.

When you hear the words “public speaking”, I bet you imagine

You or someone else, standing on a stage,

maybe with a microphone, and delivering a talk or giving a presentation.

If you do picture this, you are right, but this is only part of the story.

Did you know the skills you develop in public speaking can also be useful in other situations? Including for your business.

Public speaking skills will enable you to share your product and communicate the story that drives your business,

in a way that resonates with your audience, your customers, and encourages them to want to buy from you.

In today’s episode I'm speaking with an entrepreneur who talks about ways in which public speaking is good for your business.

When it comes to preparing for your next talk or presentation.

I believe there’s two things you can do to give yourself the best chance of success.

One of them will probably sound obvious to you.

If you do it, you will sound more polished.

And your audience will find your message clearer and easier to understand.

The second one might feel less obvious, but is equally important.

Because it will help your audience to feel more engaged with what you are saying.

And help them to connect with you and your message.

In today's episode I share with you how to give yourself the best chance of public speaking and presenting success.

*  The first technique is - ‘If you want to be a success; Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse’

*  The second technique is - ‘As a speaker you should always seek to answer this question from your audience: “What’s in it for me”?’

Does the thought of speaking up in meetings fill you with dread?

Do you keep quiet, never contributing for fear of being judged?

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Many people find meetings a daunting experience and, as a result, end up staying silent.

Though this may feel like the safe option, I bet it knocks your confidence and it could even have a negative impact on your career.

If you sit at the side-lines, you’ll remain invisible to your colleagues, including your boss, which could mean you’re overlooked when it comes to being offered exciting opportunities.

In today’s episode I explore speaking with confidence in meetings.
