PREPARING FOR YOUR SPEAKERY TRAINING SESSION

My name is Marcus John Henry Brown. I’m a performance artist and a speaker trainer. I hack business conferences with performance art and I teach business people the dark art of keynote speaking - both on and offline.

And we’re going to be working together in a virtual speaker training session. Which is very exciting. Here are some things I’d like you to know before we finally meet in a virtual conference call.

  • What will we cover in the first session?

    1. I’ll start with a presentation that covers all of the key areas of mastering keynotes and corporate presentations. The presentation covers everything from your technical setup, office staging, posture and audience engagement. 
    2. This is your opportunity to ask questions and prepare yourself for session 2.

      • Session 2 - your presentation

        1. In this session, we will focus on your presentation.
        2. We will be looking at the story you're tying to tell, how you're telling it and what can be improved.

      • What should I prepare for my sessions?

        1. Please come prepared with the presentation you want to give. The slides can be rough drafts, but we’ll need to have something to work with. I’m more than happy to help you craft the storyline during the session, but we’ll need something.
        2. I’ll be asking these questions during the introduction round. It would be great if you had answers.
          1. What would you like to get out of the session?
          2. What do you want to improve?
          3. What are your main concerns about presenting?
          4. I’d like you to think about your biggest strength too.
        3. Prepare as many questions as you like. You’ve booked me for so ask away!

      I’m very much looking forward to meeting and working with you. 

      See you soon.

      Marcus.
