Description

There is no quicker way to make an impact on your reputation than standing on stage in front of a room of people staring at you, listening to your every word. Here are the lesser known tips on public speaking to help set you up for success. Tune in to hear a series of practical tips from an experienced speaker who isn’t afraid to dish out the inside scoop. Learn how to get the best out of your relationship with the tech team, how to cover your bases with a rehearsal run-through, and what to put on the monitor at your feet. We talk about wardrobe faux pas, and how to choose an outfit that will make you feel comfortable while you look the part.Key Points: •    A snippet from Molly’s introduction at a recent conference she spoke at. •    How she felt while the host was setting the stage for her to speak. •    What we will discuss during today’s conversation: public speaking tips nobody tells you about. •    Tip number one: listen to the tech people’s advice, but don’t let them run your presentation. •    Why she recommends having a backup deck with you in case of last minute changes. •    Tip number two: have a rehearsal run-through. •    Tip number three: don’t have bullets or anything you have to read on the monitor. •    Why it’s a great idea to have a buffer slide. •    Tip number four: don’t make your wardrobe a part of your talk. •    Tip number five: dress for the temperature. •    This week’s indestructible tip: have a person in the crowd who is going to manage your reputation.  Tweetables: “You should have a backup deck with you. Sometimes in the transfer they could lose fonts, perhaps video, didn't make its way onto the deck, and you're going to have to make those last minute adjustments.” — @MollyMcPherson[0:06:10] “Wear a wardrobe or pick a wardrobe that has flexibility to it, that you feel comfortable in it and you won't have any malfunctions.” — @MollyMcPherson[0:19:50] “For every talk, it helps to have a person. What I mean by that is a person who's going to help manage your reputation.” — @MollyMcPherson[0:20:42] “What we want when you are speaking is someone who feels indestructible.” — @MollyMcPherson [0:22:20]  Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Molly McPhersonMolly McPherson on LinkedIn Molly McPherson on TwitterSEMO Electric Cooperative CEO Sean Vanslyke Listen + Subscribe on Stitcher or Apple Podcasts© Molly McPherson 2022
