Many of the best speakers use slides or a personal success story as tools to help them leave a lasting impression on audiences. However, there is a certain type of intimate chemistry enabled by a level playing field and a sense of spontaneity that this method fails to accomplish. Connie Podesta, our guest for today, falls into a more niched group of speakers, one that prefers to ditch the crutches and approach their keynotes as full-blown conversations. Connie is perhaps the queen of this method, and as a Hall of Fame speaker who has written seven books and worked with clients like Microsoft and Harley Davidson, her lengthy career stands as testimony to its effectiveness. In our conversation with Connie, we get into the nuts and bolts of the method of planned spontaneity she practices, where it came from, and how she teaches it to her students.
