10 Things You Should NEVER do as a speaker
1. Use a template - learn to tell stories, improv when needed, and entertain - not imitate.
2. Give a long intro - make intros tight… just a few sentences - your speech should speak for itself.
3. Wear a costume - be you. Be authentic. But do not make your clothes more important than the talk. You need to shine above your style choice.
4. Start by introducing yourself - jump right into storytelling or a great opening. Your name is not interesting.
5. Over teach - people want to be entertained more than educated.
6. Show up cold - Make sure you either know the audience well or arrive early enough to see other speakers and get a feel for the room.
7. Treat AV team or support as support - treat them as your best friend that you deeply appreciate. You need them to help you shine!
8. Be dependent on tech - Use tech, have tech, all of it - but if it all fails be able to run without it.
9. Expect people to ask to work with you - always have a specific plan for people to take a next step.
10. Be low energy - On stage you need 5x more energy and on camera you need 10x - bring the juice!
Bonus - Do NOT wait to be perfect or have it all together - go speak!!!
