Synopsis
Presentations are simple things, but not easy. We convince ourselves we're not very good at them. On stage, we become this other person: less funny, less engaging, less human.
Do Present will help you find (and remove) the thing that's stopping you becoming an eloquent public speaker; reclaim your voice and the confidence to share it; to tell better stories, aloud. And to be more you.
Synopsis
Getting our voices heard can be a nerve-wracking and overwhelming task - particularly in a world where everyone seems to have something to say. The ability to present our ideas with confidence is now a coveted skill. Yet on stage, we become this other person: less funny, less engaging, less human.
Mark Shayler draws on his own experience - from nervous speaker to charismatic compere - to guide you through the task of public speaking. He takes a deeper look at what's holding you back, and will help you to:
- Find your voice and the confidence to share it
- Learn how to tell stories, not just share data
- Stand and move around the stage comfortably
- Leave the audience informed, entertained and uplifted
Giving a brilliant talk is not about following a method. It's not about rules. It's about understanding what you want the audience to think, feel and do afterwards. Ultimately, it's about being more you.
