Speak the Speech
Being on stage is not for everyone, but in the growing world of business giving speeches is a part of life. While there are new tools to circumvent the process, the power of the spoken word over an audience is zero to none. Think of the moments in recent history when a speaker launched a product, a company, or an idea simply by delivering a powerful message.
Public Speaking is about storytelling. Leave the metrics and the data for the report and focus on the hearts and minds of the audience.
I've been in front of thousands of people, intimate audiences of 12, a camera an inch from my face, on a stage with no lines prepared, in front of a Zoom call leading business professionals from top companies, and thinking and writing about public speaking for more than a decade. And, I still get nervous.
The demons don't go away, we learn to live with them.
Using the tools of improv, acting, and good old fashioned Aristotelian mechanics we look at how to deliver a great speech. From Shakespeare to Whose Line Is It Anyway? along with Screenplay structure and character development everything is fair game in getting you to the Master of Ceremonies you want to be.
