I've never been to any other events that has been so rewarding as well as so welcoming than going to a 1,000,000 cups event. — @CharlesOffWhite #PublicSpeaking #2MTT Click To Tweet

2-Minute Tip: Be Vulnerable

We often talk about the importance of authenticity as a speaker. Another way to think about it, though, is vulnerability.

The benefit of vulnerability as a speaker is that the audience can feel where you are coming from. It’s easier for them to connect with you.

And if they feel that stronger sense of connection, they are more likely to pursue the action you are calling them to pursue.

You get the sense of community when the power is out. — @CharlesOffWhite #PublicSpeaking #2MTT Click To Tweet

Post Tip Discussion: Meet Charles White

When I put together an episode, I don’t always know what it’s about. I do my core edit of the conversation where I listen to the whole thing, cut some stuff , and clean up the audio Wile I take notes.

Then I look over my notes. Sometimes I sit with it for a day. It’s only then that I realize what my guest and I talked about. Then I can write up my intro and outro comments and start work on the show notes for an episode. That’s my process.

And that’s how I came to realize that this week’s episode is all about process. Charles focuses on process in his life.  Process can be quite freeing. Once you have a structure and a way of doing things, suddenly those tasks get a whole lot quicker.

Often when we talk about public speaking we don’t think about the process. We think about standing in front of the crowd with some slides.

But 90% of the success of a talk is determined before you ever open your mouth. It’s in your preparation and planning. And when your preparation becomes repeatable and duplicatable, you have a process.

It’s not as sexy as the roar of the crowd, but the right process can make your life so much easier.

And it's that important to have those kinds of rituals that triggers your brain to say OK. Now, this is what we're doing, and I remember this part and I don't have to worry about that anymore. — @CharlesOffWhite #PublicSpeaking #2MTT Click To Tweet
