#PublicSpeaking
How would you like to ace your next presentation in #MicrosoftTeams? 🚀
You can do it with the help of #PresenterCoach, a smart tool that helps you improve your presentation skills by giving you instant feedback on your speech, pace, tone, and more. 🎤
You can use Presenter Coach not only in PowerPoint, but also in Teams meetings. Just turn it on when you are presenting using #PowerPointLive and get private tips on how to make your presentation more impactful and captivating. 🙌
The best part is that the feedback is visible in real time but is private to you. And you even get a full report at the end to help you develop your skills.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to enhance their confidence and wow their audience in Teams meetings. 💯 Check out my short video to see how to set up and use this great feature!

Excited to present tomorrow at our internal #IBM Spark Design Festival.
Unlike most of my #Toastmasters speeches it’s a longer talk, with carefully crafted visuals – heck, it’ a design conference – and jointly with a great colleague.
We talk about the power of conceptual modeling.
I already enjoyed our speaker rehearsals today giving lots of evaluations and feedback to my fellow speakers.

I got my first acceptance to an international tech conference today!!! My Accessibility Testing 101 talk was accepted to NDC London. I am beyond excited. I had started submitting to international conferences and viewed it as kind of the next step in me doing talks.
It is all thanks to the amazing support that I have received from those around me. #Thankful #PublicSpeaking

Some good (and not so good) #publicspeaking tips and tricks
Are you any good at Public Speaking?
My pet peeve is those who ask how you can hear them on the microphone before they start, and that's the last time you do hear them. Using a microphone is more important than your ability to speak.
IN CLOSING, I'd like to say....
Agile Testing Days (https://linktr.ee/agiletestingdays):
How to speak at conferences?
This session is about understanding the process of public speaking at tech conferences, from the call for papers all the way to the follow-up after the conference is over.
I need fresh ideas for my slide deck.
I’ve one #Powerpoint file for all my talks, organized by topic.
Some love it, especially the list of topics in the sidebar.
Others cringe as much as I do (e.g., because my name and website are on every slide).
How do you organize and present all of your #slides?
What formats, templates, or designs work well?
(Is it safe to assume our slides will never again be on a 4:3 display? Can we finally go #widescreen?)
Process improvisation is anchored in collaboration and communication. Because of this, it’s amazing for business training, sales team training, and corporate leadership training! 🧑💼
This joyous practise is fantastic for daily life, and we carry the skills we learn into our workplace too.
Are you looking to improve specific skills for your career?

Hey #podcasters - anyone got advice for how to make myself stop sounding like my mouth is stuck together? I’m making a popping like sound that I think is the result to still getting some fairly significant dry mouth when recording.

I said it before, I'll say it again.
If you're working on a talk get feedback early and from a diverse group of people.
Today I got feedback by @der_pesse that made me see all the shortcomings of my talk. Luckily I still have time to fix them!

An older blog post I keep finding reasons to share because "guys" is not a gender-neutral word. https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2018/09/hey-were-not-all-guys-why-i-dont-use.html #Words #WordsMatter #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #grammar #guys #Women #Writing #PublicSpeaking
Research shows that people don't say "um" and "uh" because of nervousness.
Instead, one reason people say "um" and "uh" is that it tells listeners you want to keep talking.
The amazing thing is that we don't use them nearly as much when we're talking to a computer, like Siri, or when we're giving a formal talk—because we don't expect to be interrupted!

PSA: If you are still masking indoors (like me) and feeling pressured to unmask when giving talks, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to unmask to give a talk. I present thee, Exhibit A.
