If your point completes the sentence, then you’ve got it right. Start with the right question. Don’t ask “what do I want to say?” or “what should I say?” Impact is the end result that you want, so ask instead “what do they want and need to hear?” You don’t have to come up with it on your own, ask the community what people really need to hear. When speaking in webinars, dominate the frame. Make sure your head or shoulders are not cut off from the frame. Use a neutral background rather than any virtual background. Speak with a loud voice volume setting. Stories are great. They don’t have to be cinematic but even when simple, it’s still a good way to make yourself relatable to the audience. However, don’t forget that the most important part of telling a story is the part where you attach relevance to the story.  “People don’t really remember what you said, they remember what you mean.” - Joel Schwartzberg Connect with Joel Schwartzberg:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheJoelTruthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelschwartzberg/Website: www.joelschwartzberg.net Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: [email protected] Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
