Mark Cohen

Hold on for episode ninety-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Here we're listening to a talk from the internet and pausing as we go to evaluate, make comment and highlight what the presenter does. We're looking at a new type of speech; the Ignite Talk. A 5 minute speech where every 15 seconds the slides (which are prepared by the presenter) automatically advance. And we're familiar with this talk, as Thomas has given one himself.This is a fast-paced style of speaking. And this particular example is a beautiful execution of the style. In fact, it's such a clear message and concise delivery that Thomas and Kate both use the message in their vocabulary and training. And both of them think it's one of their favourite talks of all time. It's not without flaws though, and comments are made about pace and language choices. Lots to learn and listen to here! And spoiler alert, the talk isn't really about eating bananas.Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationbossWhat You'll Learn • Exactly what an Ignite Talk is, and that time Thomas presented one too• How opening with a story builds interest and grabs attention• The difference in preparation between a 10-minute talk, and a 5-minute talk• Being careful to align language and humour use to the audience• Use of explicit language in a talk; if and when it is ever appropriate• Why your conclusion should be the most powerful part of your speech, and how.Watch It Yourself:• Mark Cohen | How to Eat a Banana Resources and Links • Email us: podcast@presentationboss.com.au• The Presentation Boss Podcast: https://presentationboss.com.au/podcast/• Show your support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss• Join our online community: Presentation Bosses Facebook Group• Kate on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-norris/• Thomas on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-krafft/• Presentation Boss on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/presentationboss/

98. Speech Breakdown: Ignite Talk by Mark Cohen "How to Eat a Banana"

Let's kick off episode ninety-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast! A few weeks ago, Kate had a conversation at a social function and spoke to two individuals who confessed they avoid speaking and presenting at all costs, even though they know it holds their careers back. Naturally, she asked some deeper questions and found the reasons, fears and excuses they have that have them avoiding speaking up.That list of fears is five common reasons both Kate and Thomas hear frequently. And while they are real in the mind of some people, we know that they are constructs, and sometimes just an excuse. Speaking can be hard, but holding your career back is hard too. Let us help you identify what may be going on in your head and sort out what's real and what's not.In this episode we walk through those five speaking fears, and how to crush them with a little mindset shift. No more avoiding public speaking and presentations; here's the tools to really get you over the hump of sweaty palms and sleepless nights!Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationbossThe Five Biggest Fears:2:11 - "What if I'm not good?"The worry that your audience will judge you and/or you'll look unprofessional.3:57 - "What if someone criticises me?"The fear that you'll receive negative comments and be made to feel awful.7:17 - "But it's not necessary for me to speak; I have nothing unique to share"The idea that you need to create new and exciting ideas before you can speak at all.10:14 - "I'm not at all qualified to speak; what right do I have to take time and attention?"The concern that you're unworthy to share your thoughts and knowledge on a given topic.12:07 - "What if I go entirely blank when presenting?"The anxiety around not knowing how to ensure your talk is clear enough in your mind.Resources and Links • Email us: podcast@presentationboss.com.au• The Presentation Boss Podcast: https://presentationboss.com.au/podcast/• Show your support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss• Join our online community: Presentation Bosses Facebook Group• Kate on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-norris/• Thomas on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-krafft/• Presentation Boss on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/presentationboss/

94. Five Speaking Myths - Busted!

Anthony Metivier

This is a show to remember. Episode ninety-three of The Presentation Boss Podcast! Today we have back Anthony Metivier, who you may remember from when we did a breakdown of his TED Talk (that Thomas coached). He is known as The Memory Guy, for being an expert in memory, recollection and observation techniques.We know one of the greatest public speaking fears is going blank on stage, so it only seemed right to have an expert in not forgetting share his wisdom and tools on the microphone. We have a great in-depth conversation that clears up what a memory palace is and how to use it, what you can do to internalise the flow of your presentation and exactly what it takes to practice these techniques.Plus, it's a fun show because Thomas has worked with Anthony before, but this was the first time Kate had met him. We get in depth, have a laugh and learn loads. You will too!Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationbossAbout Our GuestAs a bestselling author, Anthony Metivier is the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a systematic, 21st Century approach to memorizing foreign language vocabulary, dreams, names, music, poetry and much more in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun.

92. Speech Breakdown: TED Talk by Niro Sivanathan " The counterintuitive way to be more persuasive"

Set sail for episode ninety-one of The Presentation Boss Podcast! Kate and Thomas had a conversation about what makes a great speaker. And eventually agreed that there are a number of exercises they each consciously implemented (some many years ago) that became habits and have definitely improved their skills. In all the guest interviews, these same or similar habits have been mentioned too. It's clear then, that even when not speaking, there are habits you could develop in this new year that would make you a more confident and comfortable presenter - no matter your skill level.There's five suggestions in this episode. All are simple to implement. And honestly, doing any of them imperfectly would be a great start to building the habit and becoming a better presenter. We know though, with a little conscious effort and discipline, they'll become an easy habit that is forever improving in the background.

42. Speech Breakdown: TED Talk by Julian Treasure "How to speak so that people want to listen"

Zig Ziglar

Let's power into episode twenty-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast! And we've found ourselves looped back to give a speech breakdown of a presentation that we found on the internet. Thomas went looking for a motivational speaker and decided on this example. Kate hadn't seen it before, so listen along as they watch Zig Ziglar and make comment about what he does exceptionally well, and what doesn't feel quite right. And being this speech is 20-30 years old, it does get quite interesting!  Again we have a shorter talk, so we have lots of time to discuss the aspects of the presentation.

Let's power into episode twenty-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast! And we've found ourselves looped back to give a speech breakdown of a presentation that we found on the internet. Thomas went looking for a motivational speaker and decided on this example. Kate hadn't seen it before, so listen along as they watch Zig Ziglar and make comment about what he does exceptionally well, and what doesn't feel quite right. And being this speech is 20-30 years old, it does get quite interesting! Again we have a shorter talk, so we have lots of time to discuss the aspects of the presentation.

Phil M. Jones

It's a big one on episode forty-six of The Presentation Boss Podcast! When we started this podcast, we made a wish-list of guests we'd love to feature on the show that we would have to work towards. Phil M Jones (or PMJ as he's affectionately known by us) was top of Thomas' list and so he started working towards having PMJ on the show. An unexpected geographical opportunity arose and several months (or more) earlier than expected, we had the opportunity to meet with and record with PMJ.We enjoyed a two-hour conversation here in Brisbane and recorded over an hour of it for this show. We discussed business, podcasting and presentation skills. The excitement is real, but so is the value in this conversation. So listen in to hear Phil M Jones wisdom for the second time on the podcast - his specialty is in persuasion, motivation and having exactly the right words to say for when it matters most.About Our Guest Phil M.

Author of five international best-selling books, and the youngest ever winner of coveted "British Excellence in Sales and Marketing Award", Phil is currently one of the most in-demand assets to companies worldwide. He is by no means your typical sales expert.With the experience of over 2,000 presentations in over 50 countries across five continents, Phil has a busy and active travel schedule. When not on the road, you will find him at home in New York City or in his peaceful retreat in Buckinghamshire, England.What You'll Learn• The importance of having the right words to say ahead of time, as opposed to just 'winging it'• Why you should always know the right thing to say at the right time, or #ExactlyWhatToSay• Changing your words can change your life, but not just in sales• How to internalise those key phrases and have them at the ready for when they're needed most• Why you should write a script for presentations, then potentially never use it.• The considerations for the characters you play during conversations• How to motivate your audience to adopt your ideas, or take action• The three-step process for widening the gap and creating a need for your audience• Considerations for the line between showing interest in people you want to have a conversation with, and being outright creepy.• How Phil M Jones prepares for a presentation PLUS what lead him to his current presentation style.• So, so, so much more!Mentioned In The Show• Phil M Jones on LinkedIn• Phil M Jones' website (which has links to where you can buy all of his books)• Dale Carnegie: How to Win Friends and Influence People• Phil M Jones: How to Persuade and Get Paid (Audible Original)Resources and Links • Email us: podcast@presentationboss.com.au• The Presentation Boss Podcast: https://presentationboss.com.au/podcast/• Kate on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-norris/• Thomas on LinkedIn:

13. Speech Breakdown: TED Talk by Tracey Spicer "The Lady Stripped Bare"

Ellen DeGeneres

For episode twenty five of The Presentation Boss Podcast, it's time for another speech breakdown. Kate and Thomas are experienced not only as speakers, but as presentation coaches. They love finding the strengths and weaknesses in a presentation and explaining why they work or why they'd make a recommendation. Today we picked something off our list that neither of us had seen before, but looked promising. Listen along with us for the first time and hear our first impressions of this talk.  There are many commencement speeches available online, but we chose this one both because it's a little shorter and also Kate likes Ellen DeGeneres. Thomas has just been ignorant to her career. There's a lot to love about this talk and plenty of jokes that catch them laughing out loud. Plus a moment of embarrassment for Thomas. Have a listen for beautiful expression of personality, brilliant preparation and rehearsal, and a nice audience focus. What You'll Learn • A way of working with protocol and acknowledging guests with personality• How careful rehearsal and preparation results in an authentic, conversational presentation• Using minimalist storytelling to be relatable to your audience• How telling your audience what their perspective is proves you understand them• The risk of having too much humour in the wrong place of a presentation• The importance of speaking to your audience as individuals.

Have a listen for beautiful expression of personality, brilliant preparation and rehearsal, and a nice audience focus. What You'll Learn • A way of working with protocol and acknowledging guests with personality • How careful rehearsal and preparation results in an authentic, conversational presentation • Using minimalist storytelling to be relatable to your audience • How telling your audience what their perspective is proves you understand them • The risk of having too much humour in the wrong place of a presentation • The importance of speaking to your audience as individuals.
