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!
