SPEAKINGON

LET’S ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOMYOU’LL HAVE TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE

FEAR

— Jerry Seinfeld

“TO THE AVERAGE PERSON, IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO A FUNERAL, YOU’RE BETTER OFF IN THE CASKET THAN

DOING THE EULOGY.”

FEAR OF REJECTION

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

LACK OF PERCEIVED EXPERTISE

WHAT MAKES AN EXPERT SPEAKER?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPEAKER AND A NON SPEAKER

SPEAKER

Decides to share something they know.

NON-SPEAKER

Decides to not share something they know.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPEAKER AND A NON SPEAKER

SPEAKER

Decides to share something they learned.

NON-SPEAKER

Decides to not share something they learned.

LEARNING IS IMPORTANT

PRIOR TO LEARNING SOMETHING NEW, YOU

DID NOT KNOW IT.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXPERT AND A NON-EXPERT

EXPERT

Knows something you don’t.

You’ve learned it from them.

NON-EXPERT

Knows something you don’t.

You just don’t know it.

SO WHAT MAKES AN EXPERT SPEAKER?

WHAT MAKES AN EXPERT SPEAKER?

EXPERT

Knows something others don’t.

SPEAKER

Shares that knowledge.

LACK OF “SPEAKING” SKILL

SPEAKING WELL REQUIRES PRACTICE

YOU HAVE MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK

INSTEAD OF HIPCHAT, ASK TO SPEAK

WITH THE PERSON

OFFER TO PRESENT THINGS YOU DID AT THE ENGINEERING MEETING

GIVE AN INTERNAL TALK HERE

SPEAK AT A LOCAL MEETUP

TREAT EVERY OPPORTUNITY AS A

CHANCE TO REALLY SPEAK

TOASTMASTERS
