#171 So You Want to be a Speaker?

Professional speaking is something I’m asked about often. How I got started. How I work. How it works. Getting work. Building a profile. What organisations want. And don’t want. Putting together a presentation, keynote or workshop. Where to start. What to charge. When to charge. Reading a room. Building confidence, awareness and skill. Developing content. Being relevant and relatable. Performing under pressure. Dealing with anxiety. Scripted versus freestyle. Preparation. And lots more. This episode will be relevant and valuable for some, kind-of interesting for others and maybe ‘come-back-next-time’ for a few. Having said that, there are lots of ideas and suggestions shared which are transferrable and broadly applicable. Enjoy.
