Listen "Question everything"
Episode Synopsis
Most people do the wrong prep for public speaking.Here’s a better approach 👇 1. Already have 5 different appearances in front of a thousand people booked across a single weekend.2. Treat it like a Q&A, even if it isn’t.Step 1 might be out of your control, but step 2 isn’t.After some top-shelf sibling dickheadery to open this episode, Col elaborates. He reckon most people would rather see you launch with gusto into good audience questions than watch you battle your way through 30 minutes of slides. He's spot on.Questions help you: - get present with the audience.- get away from script and slides.If the audience isn't asking questions (or the right ones), you can ask them of yourself (after reading the room!). Go you good things!PS. Tony Wilson and I hit #28 at the Aussie box office a few weeks ago. Out of how many? No idea. Don’t care.* Laughs all the way away from the bank *
