In this episode, Dean Newlund and Joanne discuss:

• What you say and present and how you create a connection to it.
• Creating a captive audience and using it as a way to bring about change.
• The look and direction of public speaking in the future.
• Follow your intuition on what information needs to be presented to the audience and ways to deliver it.

Key Takeaways:

• What is the goal? What is the result I want to see? Develop a plan to answer those questions.
• You cannot over-rehearse your presentation or speech. The more you practice and the more you know about the information you are presenting the more comfortable you will be.
• Be authentic and in the flow but not memorize your material verbatim.
• Tell a story that invokes intrigue within your audience.

“Get into the heads of your audience, you need to go where they are, and bring them along with you.” —  Joanne Mathews
