Great Presenting For Busy People

If you're a busy person and want some quick tips to improve the way you communicate, read on!

For the final conversation in my series celebrating 10 years in business, I was thrilled to speak with the fabulous Lee Warren, award-winning author of ‘The Busy Person’s Guide To Great Presenting’ and recipient of the UK’s highest accolade for public speaking ‘The Professional Speaking Award of Excellence’. A former sales director, professional magician and mind-reader, Lee now works with many of the world’s leading brands helping their teams to become more connected, more compelling, and more confident.

This interview is the shortest in the series, but every tip and technique Lee shares is easy to understand, easy to implement and will easily transform the way you present.

Watch this episode to learn about:

  • The single biggest mistake people make during presentation

  • How to take the power out of your nerves

  • Why you should never end with a Q&A and what to do instead

  • How to improve your vocal resonance for better persuasion

  • What you need to know about using notes (it’s okay, really)

  • How ‘HAM PIE’ will transform your presentations

  • The difference between practice and rehearsal and why you need both

It has been an absolute joy to interview so many fantastic speakers for this series and a lovely way to mark my 10 year business birthday. A big thank you again to all of my incredible guests who have taken the time to share their expertise.

As this is the last in the series, I'd love to know your thoughts - please do share in the comments whether you have watched any of the videos, and if so, what were your biggest takeaways?

And if you haven't watched any of the previous conversations, I encourage you to watch this one
