312: My Top Tips to Make Your Talks Memorable with Carol Cox

312: My Top Tips to Make Your Talks Memorable with Carol Cox

In the trends for 2023 episode I did 2 weeks ago, trend #3 was about the return and resurgence of in-person activities and events, which means more in-person speaking opportunities.

(Btw, if you haven’t listened to the trends episode 310 yet, definitely do so. I’ve received great feedback from listeners and I’m going to be talking about each of the trends more in depth in future episodes.)

When new women join our Thought Leader Academy, I ask them to share what they liked to do when they were young and most of them loved performing, whether in school plays, singing, or dancing.

There’s definitely a connection between speaking and performance.

However, once we start speaking for our business, we don’t see the connection between speaking and performing and we miss out on bringing performance elements into our presentations and speeches.

You don’t need to sing and dance - unless you want to! - but there are things you can do to create a more immersive and memorable experience for your audience.

At the end, I’ll share an embarrassing moment from a high school performance I was in.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Different types of performances
  • Why we love attending performances
  • The importance of synchrony and collective effervescence as humans
  • My top tips you can do as a speaker to incorporate performance elements - and the benefits of doing so

If you would like to work together to improve your in-person speaking skills, we are hosting our 3-day speaking intensive in Orlando at the end of February 2023. Get all the details at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/retreat/.
