So now you’ve thought about what you will wear, the structure of your content, how beautiful your topic will be. Now you want to think about delivery.
This is where I feel the most effective way to communicate is when you speak from experience rather than trying to remember a script, which can be very difficult to do right now.
Just a little secret from me: let’s enable changes. Then you can take a couple of takes and cut the best parts together.
Always try to use as many examples as possible, like I did there with Tom Capper’s Whiteboard Fridays. Think about how you can add more data and information to your story so people can really understand the concepts.
And if you’ve done these projects and worked on these projects, include the results as well. Is there a takeaway that people can pick up? What will people get from following your advice?
Again, using the whiteboard structure as a guide can help you move the conversation forward. Keep to the point and keep it concise. While I use the whiteboard, I also talk to the camera. So I hope this is the most effective way for the audience to learn from what I’m saying.
And if you can make a vocal mess, I’ve made a few myself, I recommend you give it a try and see if you can get by. This is the best way to keep momentum as you speak. And if you make a mistake, pause, look at the camera with a neutral gaze and we can make the change.
And just like I’m about to do now, at the end of your speech, make sure we pause, give us a neutral look at the camera and we can edit that nice little Roger logo. A thousand thanks.
