Public Speaking..... That's the third time I have mentioned it, are you sweating yet? Not many things make hardened IT Support Professionals stomachs turn, but the minute you mention public speaking... Ok ok, I'll stop, I'm sorry.  By now you can guess what this week's podcast is about. Emily has gone from a career in cybersecurity to a career in helping others in tech convey their knowledge publically. We discuss tips and tricks to remember what you are trying to say, stay calm in front of your peers and/or bosses, and tools you can use to improve.  Links to content discussed in the episode: David Armand miming music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Y-Csv4cfQ Simon Sinek's How Great Leaders Inspire Action now viewed more than 46.5 million times: https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action?language=en The Ted Commandments: https://collectivehub.com/2017/04/the-10-commandments-given-to-ted-talk-speakers/ Enjoy and Subscribe!

Today I’d like to introduce to you to Emily Edgeley. Emily is a public speaking coach, and her passion is helping people turn their public speaking fear into excitement and leverage the power of storytelling to captivate, engage and inspire. In our chat today, we dive into her career story of how she not only added storytelling to her talent stack but turned it into a business that’s had amazing success since launching this year. Emily helped me with the part I found the hardest - which was to create a really strong open and close for my talk and you can just imagine my relief when Emily’s suggestions was just the finishing touch I needed to finalise my talk - whilst juggling a intense work schedule and needing to prepare for my flight at the same time. If I can do it - so can you.   I hope today’s interview with Emily will encourage you to believe in yourself, believe in your message and leverage some of the tips we share in this interview to start crafting and sharing your story.   Emily Edgeley For more talent stack resources visit https://www.yishanchan.co/links
