If so, you need to know about Sally Foley-Lewis, CSP, a multi-award winning global expert and Certified Speaking Professional who has authored several books on leadership and productivity.

I first met Sally, a fellow Australian, several years ago at a conference for professional speakers where we bonded over red lipstick, and I've been a big fan ever since! So I was thrilled to have a chat with her as part of my video series to celebrate 10 Years In Business.
Sally shared some great tips on how leaders and aspiring leaders can improve their presentation preparation and delivery including:
The key questions you must ask before crafting your speech
What to do when you arrive to deliver your presentation
How to avoid memorising your speech
How to prepare effectively when time is limited
How to end your presentation with impact
How your breathing can help you to be more endearing and engaging
How to demonstrate your thought leadership (without writing a book!)
So if you're interested in gleaning some new tips about how to take your public speaking skills to the next level, I strongly encourage you to take a moment to watch this conversation. And let me know in the comments which tips you’re going to try!
