Whether you’re in a crowd-filled stadium or out to lunch with a friend, opportunities for public speaking are everywhere. Today’s conversation with Certified Speaking Professional Dr. James Smith, Jr. centers around the ability to engage and command an audience that makes you (and your message) memorable. Laura and Dr. James dive into key strategies for leaders who are looking to grow their professional presence, ditch the powerpoints, and elevate the impact they have on a boardroom or 1:1 conversations with their teams.

 

Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation:
How to focus on creating an experience for your listeners
The advantages to being a physical speaker and engaging through movement
Why the acronym FISH helps you leave a lasting impression on your audience
What public speakers can learn from comedians
Top tips for commanding a conversation and becoming “tweetable and repeatable”

 

During the 24 Hour Influence Challenge Dr. James encourages you use your next speaking opportunity to create a connection between the information you’re sharing and why you are the best person to share it. He challenges you to go beyond the data and communicate who you are and how it pertains to the information you’re sharing.
