Whether it's acing interviews, engaging with audiences, or crafting stories to boost your brand, we're all in the business of communicating these days.
And how we use our words matters.
How much can you fit into 30 mins about speaking with impact and using your words well?
It turns out, quite a lot!
I was a guest on Gillian Whitney’s LinkedIn Live recently and we had a great conversation about:
?? How to introduce yourself in a memorable way
?? Ways to build connection with your audience
?? Why you should include a STAR moment in your presentation?
? What Bill Gates did in his talk on malaria that made it stand out
? The 3 questions you should ask yourself before any talking event
?? How building a set of core stories can help you at your next interview
?? Why you should start with the end in mind
?? Books to read on how to boost your storytelling and communication skills - one featuring Gerald the Giraffe and one written by a Professor
So, if you’ve got an upcoming presentation, job interview, or podcast, or if you want to raise your visibility or speak with more impact using fewer words, check it out.
You can access our conversation in 2 ways.

1 年Joanna - thank you and glad you enjoyed! Yes, totally get you. That moment (for me, anyway) late on a Thursday night, when I get half way through a sentence and..... lose the power of words to complete it! Happens to us all ??.

1 年I'm listening to this very enjoyable discussion in parts, this evening. Thank you, Mica and Gillian! ?? "Use your words" is a well-used phrase in our house, usually directed at whichever of us is frazzled or tired, and consequently getting frustrated that telepathy doesn't work.
