Deepa Mann-Kler is an artist, entrepreneur and public speaker. She’s also the creator of the very cool Neon Dogs installation that has lit up the night sky in London, Amsterdam, Derry/Londonderry, and various other parts of the world.
In her Fireside Chat, Deepa shared a reassuring message with aspiring speakers. Don’t worry about making a fancy presentation. Just strip back to the real story you want to tell, and you will captivate your audience. Deepa herself learned the hard lesson that being authentic is the best way to go.
Deepa and Richard also talked about overcoming nerves, a favourite topic in our Fireside Chats. Virtual reality is growing in popularity as a way to prepare for talks, because you can experience the venue before you even go there. But Deepa has a simpler cure for nerves – all you need to do is breathe.
