"Opened Dawes" Podcast Ep 4: Speed is of the Essence!

07/21/21 • 17 min

This is the podcast of “Opened Dawes” Live, which runs weekly as a live video show on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn at 11 am on Tuesday mornings so that we can throw open the doors and welcome you in for a relaxed sharing of information, tips, thoughts, and answering any questions about public speaking and presentation/communication skills you may have.
So, make sure you set the reminders for the shows on Facebook or YouTube (links below) as they are scheduled online and get involved. The stream is designed to be interactive, with comments/questions able to be shown and attributed on screen.
This week’s show looks at a habit that is priceless to form because it will impact your nerves, your delivery, your recall, your flow, and dramatically improve the impact and absorption of your information from those you are sharing it with!

Whether the nerves make us speak too quickly, or we get nervous because speaking too quickly increases the chance we will forget and/or make mistakes when presenting, it is probably the hottest topic we cover in our training because of the ratio of people who it applies to. Working on it will impact so many things that I would say that it is the number tip from observations and personal experience and something that needs to be considered ongoing and even by many seasoned speakers.

"Opened Dawes" Podcast Ep 3: Treat it as a Conversation NOT a Presentation

This week’s show looks at how you can switch a mindset, which will naturally also switch your style!

This style will help your nerves, your delivery, how you are received, and the level to which your information can be digested and connected with. It may seem like a throw away statement, but by “having a conversation” with your audiences/meeting participants rather than falling into the rigid presenter/reporter mindset and method will have huge benefits for both you and those listening to you. The discussion includes how tone, emotions, attitude, inflections, etc. are all affected by this switch.

"Opened Dawes" Podcast Ep 5: Speak to the Camera!

This is the podcast of “Opened Dawes” Live, which runs weekly as a live video show on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn at 11 am on Tuesday mornings so that we can throw open the doors and welcome you in for a relaxed sharing of information, tips, thoughts, and answering any questions about public speaking and presentation/communication skills you may have.

This week’s show delves into something that has become much more vital over the last year or so! Communicating via and presenting to a camera, especially a webcam.

Whilst workplaces may be returning to use, there is going to be a degree of home-working remaining, and a reduction in travel to face-to-face meetings, presentations, and training. Webinars have grown in popularity too, but it is not a natural thing for many of us to speak to a black hole in the camera’s lens! So how do we cope with the challenges, and how do we still make it fully engaging? This week we touch the surface of that area of training that we provide to leave you with some thoughts and techniques to make the most out of it.
