The speaker is excited to discuss effective speaking in spontaneous situations. This workshop is
highly interactive and participative, allowing participants to practice and stand up. The speaker
encourages participants to count the number of fs in a sentence and share their findings.
The speaker emphasizes that most people in the room were not as effective as they could have
been in this activity due to not getting it right. This is true when it comes to speaking in public,
particularly when spontaneous speaking. It's little things that make a big difference in being
effective. The speaker will focus on one type of public speaking, not the type that is planned or
the type that is spent time thinking about or creating slides for.
The speaker's workshop was created for the business school, and a survey was taken among
students to identify what could help make them more successful. One of the top suggestions was
responding to cold calls, where the mean professor looks at a student and asks for their thoughts.
This led to a lot of panic and silence.
The speaker believes that the key to success in public speaking is to be present and engaged in
the moment. They encourage participants to practice their speech and respond to cold calls to
improve their ability to speak effectively in public situations. By doing so, they can become
more effective communicators and create a more positive and memorable experience for their
audience.
