Slide 23:Ken Robinson's "Do Schools Kill Creativity" speech on Ted has 13 filler noises "umms" or "errs" in his first two minutes. It's been seen by over 35 million people, it's rated as one of the top ted talks and my bet is that no one, apart from me and other public speaking nerds, has even noticed the umms. They will be too busy laughing and enjoying Ken Robinson's talk (I was going to write speech but it's more like a chat).
This will slow your speech down

2. School of Talk at a glimpse
Communication is the privilege
of talking to someone
who wants to listen to.
Everybody has their stories.
My School of Talk helps
telling these stories in a way,
people enjoy listening to them.
3. Curriculum
(1) Grow
(1) How do I sell myself (self introduction)
(2) Who am I talking to (profiling)
(3) Kill Stagefright
(4) How can I sell a concept/an idea (more than just pitch)
(5) What makes a great talk (incl. archetypes of storytelling)
(2) Teach the Teacher
(1) What makes a great host
(2) How to steer a speaker from draft to talk.
(3) Rehearsing standards
5. How do I sell myself
I have seen the most successful entrepreneurs and
startups and educators and facilitators turning into a
humble little something when it comes to presenting
themselves.
We know that it is so much easier to find a strong voice
when talking about someone else or someone elses
project.
In a 45min workshop, I will help you finding your self
confidence and right phrasing when it comes to
introducing yourself.
Important for:
Pitching, Group Introduction, Meeting Prospects,
Meeting Potential Sponsors.
(anything)
6. Who am I talking to?
Think is, some people enjoy long conversation about
you and your family, some people are just suffering like
a dog if you dont get to the point. How can you
differentiate in the first few minutes?
I would like to share a very unacademic, but highly
useful and instantly applicable profiling methodology.
You can find out instantly and adress people in an
appropriate way.
Important for:
Pitching, Group Introduction, Meeting Prospects,
Meeting Potential Sponsors.
(anything)
7. Kill Stagefright
Stages turn people into different personalities.
Introverts become crazy jerks, extroverts turn into a shy
little mouse once they have climbed the stage. What is
the magic, here? Why do we behave so weird, when we
are on stage? Why is it so scary to expose yourself on a
stage, in front of an audience? I cant turn you intro a
stage guru if you just hate being on a stage. But I can
take away the frightening part of it. I can help you
taking it, as what it is: a special furniture that helps you
being heard from the last row.
Important for:
Presenting, Hosting, Introducing,
Delivering a Talk
8. Kill Stagefright
Stages turn people into different personalities.
Introverts become crazy jerks, extroverts turn into a shy
little mouse once they have climbed the stage. What is
the magic, here? Why do we behave so weird, when we
are on stage? Why is it so scary to expose yourself on a
stage, in front of an audience? I cant turn you intro a
stage guru if you just hate being on a stage. But I can
take away the frightening part of it. I can help you
taking it, as what it is: a special furniture that helps you
being heard from the last row.
Important for:
Presenting, Hosting, Introducing,
Delivering a Talk
9. Sell a concept/an idea
Pitching for your idea has many stages. We are talking
about early stage, when you pitch internally, when you
want to get your company behind the idea, or when you
want to get people behind it.
This lecture/workshop is a pre-elevator-pitch class. You
need to get a lot of people on your side, before you are
ready to speak out.
There is a lot of helpful insight to share...
Important for:
Recruiting teams, Selling internally, Getting ready for
VC Pitch
10. What makes a great talk?
There is no secret recipe for a great talk. However there
are a few tricks and tweaks and twists, that can turn a
talk into a great talk. And there are a few patterns and
archetypes to start with. Why do we love to listen to
some people and why is it sometimes so hard to follow,
even if both speaker and topic are relevant and
interesting? The thing is: both, experienced speakers,
and rookies, can always improve their presentation
skills. From my experience: the best speakers are the
ones who show most interest in coaching.
Where are you?
Important for:
Public Speaking, Representing Companies/
Organisations, Internal Talks and Speeches.
12. What makes a great host?
The main role of the host is to establish a great
atmosphere of the event and to prepare the stage for
the next speaker. An event should never turn into the
hosts private gig. However of course there is more to
that. And here some tiny advice in advance: a great
hosts work begins long before the event opens its
doors.
Being host is something I have never learned but grown
into it. With probably the best mentors in the world.
Ready to share it with you.
Important for:
Hosts, MCs
13. How to Steer a Speaker from Draft to Talk
Some speakers have a lot to share, but no idea where
to start and where to end. And it is a great curators task
to find unheard and unexpected people to invite them
on a stage. The most beautiful talks I have coached and
speakers I went along with, where those who have
never spoken at a conference, before.
But of course, some speakers are already done with
their talk and it just takes a little finetuning to turn a
presentation into a talk.
Important for:
Curators, Hosts, Speaker Coaches.
14. Rehearsing Standards
Routined speakers agree: the most important thing to
do before your talk is to rehearse. There are certain
ways of rehearsing and all make sense. The best talks, I
have seen, came across supernaturally but only after
precise, disciplined and long rehearsing.
Let me share with you my experiences with coaching
and rehearsing ø 100 speakers a year, and also how to
deal with those who belief, coaching is only required for
whicky whacky first time speakers...
Important for:
Curators, Hosts, Speaker Coaches.
15. Looking forward to hearing from you J
