Whether you’re delivering workshops, speaking at conferences, presenting to senior leaders, or even hosting L&D’s favorite podcast, public speaking is a critical skill for learning professionals. So how do you develop this skill, and how do you manage your nerves when speaking publicly?
In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Lara are joined by Samantha Tulloch, public speaker and business-transformation consultant. We discuss:
· the nuances of public speaking in an L&D context,
· techniques that can help you prepare and deliver effectively,
· strategies for managing nerves and anxiety.
During the discussion, Ross D referenced our previous episode with Andrea Pacini.
In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Samantha mentioned the little-known Steven Bartlett.
