In this episode, I interview public speaking expert Megan Hamilton, who shares an easy strategy you can use to stay calm before and during a presentation.
Fear of public speaking is incredibly common, and at the same time, presenting is one of the most effective ways of connecting with people in your community.
If you're hoping to do a class for your community, present at a conference, or teach a workshop this year, I highly recommend listening to this episode.
Teaching and presenting can be powerful ways to support your community, meet new people, and grow your practice.
In order for this to work, you need a few things to happen:
- You need to actually give the presentation or teach the class
- You need to teach/share/present about something your people care about, and
- You need to connect with people while you're presenting/teaching/sharing (i.e. present effectively).
If these three things are in place, you'll find that you are making a difference and helping more and more people.
Today, we're focusing on step 3: how you can present effectively.Megan shares some helpful thoughts on how we can prepare for presentations beyond focusing exclusively on the content.
You can have excellent content, be overprepared, and still stumble when it comes to speaking in front of others.
If you listen to this episode, Megan shares one of her top tips for staying calm as you prepare for and present your material.
For even more help, join us for a live, online workshop with Megan at the end of January Details below.
Being a powerful presenter is a learned skill. Feeling petrified or know that you're not naturally good at speaking publicly? I promise, you will get better with practice, particularly when you have an instruction manual like the one Megan will provide during our workshop.
