“Now, I can see this slide has got your attention… because you’re getting cameras out to take a picture…”

Sure enough, there was a palpable reaction in the audience.

Because this comment could only be unscripted

It was genuine

It was true (!)

And it was about the audience.

Saw this happen today with a speaker engaging a live audience of 300+ people (I was seated at the back in row 25…)

It was a terrific way to engage the audience. 👍

When you present, notice how people are reacting to you and your content - and, where appropriate, comment! You’re guaranteed their attention as a result…

In 2018, Simon coached me with public speaking, style, helped write my pitch, and gave me every imaginable tip to manage my nerves, present with esteem, conviction and win over the audience - with his help I went on to pitch to 3,000 people and win the World Social Enterprise competition. I cannot recommend him more highly to any CEO or senior executive looking to perfect their public speaking and win over an audience.
