So now you’ve thought about what you’re going to wear, the structure of your content, how great your topic is. Now you want to think about your delivery.
This is where I feel like the most effective way of communicating is when you’re speaking from experience rather than trying to recall a script, which can be very tricky to do in the moment.
Just a little secret from me to you, we do enable edits. So it’s possible to do a couple of takes, and we can slice together the best bits.
Always try to use as many examples as possible, like I did back there with Tom Capper’s Whiteboard Fridays. Think about how you can add more data and intel to your story so people can really grasp the concepts.
And if you have done these projects and worked on these projects, include results as well. Is there a takeaway that people can gather? What are people going to get from taking your advice?
Again, using the structure of the board to guide you can help move the talk along. Keep to the point and keep it succinct. While I am using the board, I’m also speaking to the camera. So hopefully, this is the most effective way for the audience to learn from what I’m saying.
And if you do make a vocal fluff, I’ve made a few myself, I recommend just rolling with it, see if you can keep going. That’s the best way to keep momentum as you are talking through. And if you do make a mistake, just pause, give us a neutral look to the camera, and we can make that edit.
And just like I’m about to do now, at the very end of your talk, make sure that you pause, give us a neutral look to the camera, and we can edit in that cute little Roger logo. Thank you very much.
