The ‘Storyteller’
A relevant Story connects with emotion and creates a powerful wave of engagement with the audience. No matter where you are, be a storyteller!

Get comfy in your clothes
Don’t get into something you can’t carry. The better you look and feel, the more ready and professional you will project yourself to be.

‘Carry Home’ Message
Always provide something tangible and specific that the audience can do almost immediately. Like a quick to-do item that will stick with them for weeks even after the session is over.

“It's much easier to be convincing if you care about your topic. Figure out what's important to you about your message and speak from the
heart.”
― Nicholas Boothman

A 10-second Pause
Include a 10-second pause in the middle of your speech. A 10-second pause always looks intentional. It reflects that the speaker is allowing the audience the space to connect and follow.

Don’t EVER read the slides
Your audience does not need you on stage to read the slides. Your slides should accentuate your key points; They should never ’be’ the point.

Speak slow enough
Always watch your speed. Allow time for your content to seep in. Speak slow and repeat yourself, to maintain the engagement level with the audience. Don’t let them lose track!

Respect Your Audience
Always respect your audience and know that their collective intelligence is far more than yours; yet they have chosen to be here and listen to you. Respect them, and choose your words and gestures accordingly.

Power-Up
People always remember your energy. Your enthusiasm for your subject and content should ooze out in your speech. People connect with emotions far more strongly than with language.

Anticipate Possible Questions
If you know your stuff well, you can almost always guess the questions that will come up with your speech. And this is your chance to prepare and impress with good answers.

EYE CONTACT
Try to maintain a warm eye-contact with each person, without breaking your gaze. Do this with as many different people in the audience as you can. This creates a deeper connection and the entire audience can feel it too.

Know Your Stuff
Do your research, know your topic and what you're going to say about it and how you would like to say it on stage. The more you know, the more confident you will be up there!
