Speaking & presenting

I’m meeting with Jim Prost this morning. Jim is a speech and presentation coach, and the guy that helped me deliver my TEDx presentation back in 2012. I would have withered on stage without his help in the days leading up to the event.

I’ve also been reading a couple of Judy Carter’s books – The Comedy Bible and The Message of You. Both are enormously helpful, especially when you do the exercises she’s developed.

I think I’m pretty good at speaking now, and do it often via workshops, sales presentations, hosting Meetups, and conferences. I want to be much more than pretty good. I want to be freaking awesome, and I think I can get there.
