Make Money From Public Speaking

Speech anxiety is a common problem for people in business. Business owners can be experts at one on one meetings, and managing projects and people. But when it comes to standing up in front of a group of people to present a business plan, or promote a product or service, or in the context of a pre tender meeting or CPD event (Continuous Professional Development), the nerves set in and they are unable to present well. This can affect the business both internally with staff and colleagues and externally, with potential customers or shareholders. This lecture highlights the problems and offers practical solutions.

As a public speaker in many different forums for many years, I have developed a number of practical tips that, when ignored, can make or break a public speaking event. This lecture is presented out of my experience in a variety of settings and offers my top twenty practical tips that will enable you to have confidence that your speech will have the best possible outcome. When practised and applied, they will become a natural part of your preparation and presentation and enable you to stand out above the rest, even giving you a competitive advantage.

• Introducing your business plan to your team and/or stakeholders

• The company vision statement
