About this listen

Are you an author or creative preparing for success? Do you want to learn to speak effectively in front of an audience?

All successful creatives have to speak and present in public, whether that's at a festival, on a podcast or radio show, or as part of earning multiple streams of income. But you don’t have to be like Tony Robbins, bouncing around on stage with a booming voice and larger than life personality. You just have to be you and tell your story in your own way.

In this book, I'll share everything I know as a professional speaker, author, and introvert. It includes the practicalities of speaking, as well as mindset issues like anxiety, plus the business side if you want to make speaking an income stream. You will discover:

  • Part 1: Practicalities of Speaking

Types of speaking, deciding on your topic, preparation, managing your energy, tips for slide packs, handouts, workbooks and more, personal presentation, giving the talk, managing people, panels, feedback and testimonials, performance tips, improving your speaking over time

  • Part 2: Mindset

Tackling anxiety, growing your confidence and authenticity

  • Part 3: The Speaking Business

How to get speaking events, running your own events, marketing, generosity and networking with others, your speaker brand, website and speaker's page, professional photos, email marketing, content marketing, social media, video, audio, how much to charge, increasing your revenue streams, financial considerations.

  • Conclusion and Next Steps

If you want to learn how to speak effectively in front of an audience, sample or buy now.

Been considering adding speaking to my creative work for a while now and now I want to do it even more.
Book is filled with tons of great information and tips.
Joanna is a great narrator and she really proves that authors make the best narrators for their own books.
Next listen is business for authors...

I really like Joanna Penn's books for their practicality. This too was brilliantly practical. Everything was covered. Joanna shares the steps she took to becoming a public speaker and what we need to do.

Brilliant and Practical
