Brainfood Live On Air - Ep263 - Public Speaking Tips for Newbies

The Recruiting Brainfood Podcast

PUBLIC SPEAKING TIPS FOR NEWBIES: HOW TO DELIVER YOUR BEST RECFEST TALK Once upon a time, I too was also a reluctant public speaker. In fact, I did not even see the point of attending industry conferences - after all, what did I have to say, what did I have to learn? I am very glad that I accepted the invitation of one Mr Stephen Donaldson to give a talk at one of his events, Bill Boorman, who set up the first (ur) conference I really attended and Sarah Cooper, who by turning up at the door at the same time persuaded me to 'walk in' rather than walk by. No question: life and career changing - all for the better, as confidence, network, learning and profile have all up levelled. No exaggeration to say that Brainfood would not be here were it not for those early events. I'm keen for others to have the similar opportunity, so hence we're going to do a Brainfood Live on the topic of Public Speaking - in particular, how to get good at it. We're assembling an all star cast of industry professionals who are experienced on stage speakers and trainers. - What do they know about public speaking that others do not? - What are the expected feelings prior to the presentation? - How to build a presentation to enable best delivery? - What is the best method to control nerves? - How can a person who is introverted and hates performance, get better at public speaking? - How body language techniques do we need to know? - Can breathing techniques help? - What makes a memorable talk? - How to make sure you are psychologically level during the presentation? - How do I deliver the best Recfest Talk next week? We're with Akbar Karenga, Founder (Maarusi), Sam Berthoud, VP of Talent Solutions (hackajob), Angela Cripps, MD (Recruitment Gym), Christina Robinson, Founder (Green Umbrella), Bill Boorman, Founder (TRU) & friends Ep263 is sponsored by our buddies The Recruitment Events Co Recruitment Events Company run the No1 Festival for Recruiters - now in Knebworth AND in Nashville, Tennessee.
