Tips for Better Speaking
Here are four ways to break down that invisible wall that separates you from your audience
• Share something unrelated yet personal (not too long and if you can be self depreciating, awesome). No therapy on stage.
• Vary your timing. Don't get into a "power point rhythm", where each idea is delivered in a consistent cadence. Mix it up. Pause. Speak fast and speak slow.
• Gesture like you would when chatting.
• Make is a conversation, not a presentation

Tips for Better Speaking
• Use service to fix nervous
• Be prepared (spontaneity actually comes from preparation)
• MOVE!
• Read books…not your speech
• Mathematics of retention (don’t make too many points
• Don’t ever say you’re [something negative before you speak]
