390: Impromptu Speaking: How to Prepare and Feel Confident in Any Situation [Speak with Confidence Series] Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking for Women
-
- Entrepreneurship
Are you the kind of speaker who loves to have everything prepared in advance? Perhaps you even have your entire presentation scripted out nearly word for word and you have detailed notes for every slide that you rely on?
Well, I have a challenge for you: getting more comfortable with impromptu speaking.
As a speaker and as a leader, both impromptu and prepared speaking skills are a must.
Have you ever had one of these situations happen to you:
You're in a meeting or group and asked to share something on the spot. You get really nervous and feel at a loss for words.
You're at a networking event where you need to concisely share with other attendees who you are, what you do, and how you help people. After you introduce yourself, you realized you left out the most important parts or it all felt like a jumble.
You're leading a meeting where you need to motivate your team, but you didn't have an opportunity to prepare your message ahead of time and feel like you weren't as clear or confident as you want to be.
This is why developing your impromptu speaking skills is essential.
I want more women - including you! - to feel comfortable and confident commanding a room and leading teams, organizations, and companies.
In this episode, I share:
Why impromptu speaking is hard Why it matters to your development as a speaker and leader Specific things you can do to get better at impromptu speaking Some of my own impromptu speaking wins and fails!
