Ep 211: How To Be A Great Speaker
In recent times there has been an explosion in the number of conferences, webinars and indeed podcasts aimed at the talent acquisition audience. The kind of peer to peer learning these platforms are driving is incredibly useful and therefore, extremely popular. However, this only all works if there a steady flow of practitioners who are prepared to step up and share their story and I know this is something that many people find challenging.\n My guests this week are Audra Knight, senior manager of employer branding at Foundation Medicine and Katrina Kibben the founder and CEO of Three Ears Media.\n Audra and Katrina are both fantastic speakers who have some brilliant advice to share with anyone who either wants to get started or be better at speaking.\n In the interview, we discuss:\n \u2022 Why a talent acquisition professional would want to get involved with speaking\n \u2022 How to get started\n \u2022 How to find speaking opportunities\n \u2022 How to pitch to speak\n \u2022 Should speakers be paid?\n \u2022 How to prepare\n \u2022 Dealing with nerves\n \u2022 Most common speaking mistakes\n \u2022 The importance of preparation\n Audra and Katrina also talk about the favourite presentations they have given.\n Subscribe in Apple Podcasts
