S2E17: Mastering Public Speaking with Amanda Hennessey


Listen Later

What, exactly, are you supposed to do with your hands during a speech?

Great question.

Let’s ask Amanda Hennessey, this week’s Content People guest.

I’ve worked with Amanda in the past - and loved every second I get to spend with her. I know you guys will like her, too.

Amanda’s the bicoastal founder of Boston Public Speaking and San Diego Public Speaking. She coaches teams and individuals - giving them the tools and confidence they need to nail big presentations, small (but important) meetings, and everything in between.

Amanda helps people:

  • Manage their nerves.
  • Increase their confidence.
  • Tell compelling stories.
  • Master vocal variety.
  • Rehearse (instead of over-rehearse).
  • Pull off a great wedding toast.
  • And, finally, figure out what the eff to do with their hands during a presentation. ⭐

She’s also the author of Your Guide to Public Speaking: Build Your Confidence, Find Your Voice, and Inspire Your Audience. (Her book’s origin story, which we cover in the ep, is really magical. ✨)

Hope you might like it.
