Manoj Vasudevan joins me to discuss his experiences as a professional speaker and coach, fresh off his 2017 win at the World Championships of Public Speaking. We review the essential qualities of a successful speech, and how to ensure that your next talk will inspire and captivate your audience. Hint: it’s all about taking time to reflect on your audience and the messages that will resonate most with them.
Listen to the podcast as we discuss:
* Why empathy is the most critical success factor for a speaker
* How to be funny (like Jerry Seinfeld) by "glowing in the dark"
* The role of emotions in stirring audiences to action
* Three questions to answer as you prepare a presentation (before working on slides!)
* Why introverts are the best public speakers
…and much more!
