You can be on this stage too – public speaking and storytelling at WordCamps and beyond

You may be the biggest nerd in the room. You may not like social interactions. You may hate the idea of speaking from a stage. You may even think it’s wasteful.

In reality, it’s not that dreadful – if you learn a few tricks!

Effective public speaking is actually a mandatory life skill! So let’s deal with your toughest questions head on…

  • What does it take to be on stage at a WordCamp? (Or a TED event?? Or a friend’s wedding?)
  • How do you make your topic more interesting?
  • How to deal with all the anxiety and butterflies?
  • How to craft stories people love to share?
  • What kind of slides win audiences?
  • What to do if you forget something?
  • How to avoid being a lousy speaker?
  • How can this possibly help with other areas of life?
  • Should you stand at one place or move around on stage?
  • What does your audience really expects from you?

You won’t become a naturally charismatic on-stage master at the end of these 30 minutes. But you will certainly break through your biggest fears and be ready to get on stage!
