My first podcast interview and how awesome to be joined by human behaviour and body language expert, Mark Bowden http://bit.ly/winningkeynote.
Mark is human behaviour and body language expert. He is the founder of Truthplane, a communication training company and has been voted #1 body language expert in the world. His counterintuitive TED Talk on the 'Importance of Being Inauthentic' has well over 1 million YouTube views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zpf8H_Dd40.
He's the author of 4 brilliant bestselling books, Tame the Primitive Brain, Winning Body Language, Winning Body Language for Sales Professionals, and Truth & Lies (what people are really thinking). He has trained and coached pretty much everyone from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to leaders of G8 countries. Oh, and his favourite album is Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band. Good man!
This interview was amazing because Mark drops knowledge bombs all the way through with great tips and techniques on using and understanding body language in the context of leadership, dating, work and other situations.
Mark has got a superb Free Workshop which you should definitely check out at http://bit.ly/winningkeynote

In this episode I want to talk about a very discreet topic, which is how to get people to listen to you when you speak. How do you make people pay attention to you rather than drifting off and daydreaming.
The answer is simple (but that doesn't mean it's easy to achieve).
My answer includes a reference to 'X Factor' and the Oprah Winfrey show.

How does a leader communicate effectively? This is the question I explore with my guest this week, David McQueen.
David has had an incredibly varied background. He's been an accountant, a counsellor, a stand up comic, a public speaker and an executive coach. He has delivered training for a wide range of companies, including the BBC, Bloomberg, Google, HSBC, Deliveroo, Sky, Uber and others.
In this episode, David shares his thoughts on things like what he didn't like about Steve Jobs' leadership style, what a story bank is and why you need one, and why he plans to increase the number of people of colour who get to speak from the stage.
Great interview. Enjoy!

Stop making these mistakes. That goes for me too! This episode is all about the seven deadly sins of public speaking. These are the public speaking mistakes that we all make with our speeches and presentations that hold us back from becoming speechmaking rockstars.

We’ll go through those seven sins one by one, talking about what the mistake represents, its impact, and how to avoid it.
