You are going to develop you own 15 minute presentation and deliver it on Sunday morning. We are going to film it. So you need to develop it. Where do we start? Let’s review what we just covered? OK, so we can apply that. Let’s review a 15 minute TEDx talk - and see if we can make sense of how it is put together. Then you get to start work on yours. This is a BIG opportunity. Please use it fully.
- 115. MY TEDX TALK….IMAGINE IF WE WERE 33% LESS ANGRY The background….. The theme……..curiosity. The conditions. The brief - make them laugh, make them cry, make them think (the best brief I’ve ever had). My prep. The pressure. Technical issues from the beginning of my talk. The end result? Over to you.
- 117. OVER TO YOU… The aim of this session. Tomorrow morning……..some tools. This afternoon is about nutting out your idea. Talking it though. Being challenged. Asking the right questions? Is it big enough? Can I bring my story into this? Does anyone care? What stories can I share? Make them laugh, make them cry, make them think…… Your greatest opportunity is to be authentic.
- 118. MODULE 2 - DEVELOPING YOUR SIGNATURE KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

- 140. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES? (AG TO NUMBER AND ADD 15) They don’t treat speaking as a business - no business model or a plan Think they will make a living by being paid by others to speak - not that simple any more Don’t market themselves They undercharge Get precious and too hard to work with Present too much Don’t stay relevant They don’t build relationships They don’t believe in themselves enough They don’t invest in their speaking

- 159. MODULE 5 - ADVANCED AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT
- 161. ADVANCED AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT It all starts with having the right attitude. Getting prepared on every level. Stage presence - what is it, have you got it. When you are on you really need to be on. We need to master the “art of reading a room”. The power of the pause. Applying authenticity. Be vulnerable. Use your voice. The right body language versus the wrong body language. Look into the white of their eyes. The best kind of humour to use. Reacting to things that happen - the good, the bad and ugly.
- 162. ADVANCED AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT Eye contact is vital: Do look at individuals Do hold eye contact Don’t look at the one spot Don’t forget the front, back or side rows. Don’t look over the heads of the audience. Don’t ever look a little distracted (look out the window). Don’t keep looking at your watch. Be prepared to take action if you are losing them.
- 164. WORKSHOP - “YOUR STORY MATTERS”
- 165. KEEP WORKING ON YOUR PRESENTATION How are going? Tomorrow morning is the big day…. Rehearse, rehearse…. How the presentations will work. Starting earlier. Dress accordingly. A schedule (names drawn out of hat). Present in groups.

- 168. MARKETING YOURSELF AS A SPEAKER Why it’s so important Most speakers are terrible at marketing themselves Building your speaker brand. Where do we start? Let’s talk about your values and what you stand for
- 169. YOUR SPEAKER VALUES NEED TO REFLECT THE VALUES YOU LIVE BY.
- 170. NOW LETS GO A LITTLE DEEPER ON YOUR BRAND DEVELOPMENT Develop a strong brand. Make it align with you (personal branding is tough). Make sure, that like all good branding it runs through everything. Be clear on the message you want to send. What’s the one word you want your branding to suggest? Let’s look at AG’s.
