Can’t wait to hear about the talk.

Are you joining my Skypecast on Thursday?

Hi Laura,

I’m sure your talk went fine! You have some great information to share, and you’re passionate about it, and people sense that.

I speak a lot–probably about 70 times a year, to fairly large groups. What I will tell you (even though you didn’t ask :) ) is that the more I do it, the more I realize you have to keep it really simple.

Think about it this way: what is the ONE thing you want them to take away? And what are TWO things you want them to do? Make sure you reinforce that ONE head/heart change and the TWO action changes throughout the talk, and it’s more likely they’ll actually change.

A lot of times speakers have great information, but they don’t clearly lead people where they want them to go. If you clearly lead people to do areas of change, and keep those areas down to one or two, it’s more likely they’ll do them.

Oh, and give them three minutes at the end of the talk for silence and writing stuff down. Again, more likely they’ll actually change.

Just my two cents :).
