Directing Your Audience; Interview with Jan Muhlfeit, Olympic Performance Coach and Author

Successful leader, high energy, hands-on public speaker, author, facilitator and regular contributor to ‘Entrepreneur.com’ Tina Frey Clemen shares amazing content with Toni about the art and skill of facilitation, presentation and speaking. She explains why you need feedback and how to move from competency to mastery along with the power of the language you use in changing your perspective. The Art of facilitating is about understanding both the theories and science that underpin the message and the responses of the people you are working with and this is a masterclass for anyone in how to achieve this.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Facilitation, presentation and speaking are both an art form and a skill. In the beginning, I was terrified and not good but I persevered because it was something I was in love with You have listen to the feedback and change, feedback is a feast that you have to eat Moving from competency to mastery is about stealing from the best. You have to understand the theories and the science and take from others and then you have to do it and keep doing it again and again. Everyone makes mistakes and I am able to teach about my mistakes to my facilitation warriors. When you are facilitating it’s not about entertaining and it’s not about you it’s about the message and ensuring the people who you are facilitating retain it and apply the skill set themselves. Thought, feeling, action is about understanding what the thought is, the feeling it brings and the action you take. Having a different perspective can bring a shift in the way you feel. By using different language you can show up differently. You can control fear and use it as a tool if you shift your perspective. The definition of facilitation is sharing the learning and getting out of the way so that the learner can learn in the way they need to.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m a self-confessed facilitation nerd’ ‘External feedback is vital because with internal feedback you can focus only on the negatives’ ‘The art of the question back the most important technique you can learn’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property RPC America   ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Competency to Mastery in the Art of Facilitation, Presentation & Public Speaking with  Tina Frey Clemen

Toni talks with the inspirational Jose who in his journey to becoming a successful global speaker uncovered ground breaking insights for personal development that turned his obstacles into triumphant public speaking and stand up comedy performances. He shares inspirational advice on how even negative reactions or the worst case scenario happening are things you can get through and learn from. There is something for everyone in this episode about overcoming fear, taking action and expressing yourself so the whole world knows who you are.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   It was millions of micro moments of bravery doing what I feared. When you are a public speaker you need to know your audience. Joining toastmasters was an opportunity to expose myself in a controlled manner  on a weekly basis.  Controlling your breathing is an important element when public speaking. Everyone faces challenges and there is a level of ear but the more you put yourself in situations when you need to face your fear the more in control of yourself you become. Negative reactions can play a big role in becoming de-sensitised. Even if the worst-case scenario does happen you will still be here and there is a lesson around it. If fear is something you know is going to be there, it’s a constant, and will not stop you taking action Friends and family almost never change how they think about you, the dynamics don’t change they are the people who know your essence. It may have been that outside world didn’t know you because you didn’t express you. When you show up you are not just showing up for yourself you are showing up for others and letting them know they matter.    BEST MOMENTS ‘With a change in mindset fear becomes a trampoline that you metaphorically jump on’ ‘It may have been that outside world didn’t know you because you didn’t express yourself’ ‘Do it for yourself and to impact others’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Find Your Micro-Moments of Bravery and Do it For Yourself

In this episode, Toni is interviewed by senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor Jeannette Lintfoot for her podcast Brave, Bold, Brilliant.   They discuss how Toni and her husband juggled having two little boys to look after and two full-time jobs with starting a property business. As well as how they borrowed from other people to get started rather than following the traditional financing route. Toni is passionate about helping others through being an educator and public speaker. She explains how she overcame fear and risk to transition from her day job in HR to fulfilling her dream to help others by teaching them to become property developers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  It is possible to build a huge property empire even if you do not have much money of your own, at the beginning. Being curious and becoming a lifelong learner is highly beneficial regardless of your chosen career. Fear is a good thing because it makes you stop and think, but you must not let it overwhelm and paralyze you. You need to fully understand the risk, then do what you can to mitigate them. When you have bad experiences, learn from them, and use them to spur you on. Sacrifices are an investment. It´s short term pain for long-term gain. Be true to yourself, do things your way, don´t worry about being judged by others. You need to be sure that you are striving to achieve the right goals. It's all too easy to put a lot of time and energy into something that does not bring you happiness. Approach things in a way that is congruent with your values. You gain more by helping others. Seek out and take advantage of win-win situations.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I´m a massive believer in helping other people to understand and realize their potential.’ ´Many people have this massive desire to achieve things, but fear holds them back.’ ‘I see sacrifices as an investment.’ ´People are going to judge you anyway, so let them judge you for being who you are.’     VALUABLE RESOURCES  ttps://www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com/ Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Communicate and Connect on Clubhouse

Michael Tow

Michael Tow, Actor, Director and Producer is with Toni discussing his journey and the positives of having a transferable skill set and always taking every opportunity. When you put those, you admire on a pedestal it can be easy to think that they are very different but when you realise that everyone is going through the same thing you are, the same fears and concerns you are in a better position to gain perspective. The more you progress the less the fear and Michael shares great advice on how to develop as a public speaker.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Being on stage as an actor was so freeing You can be one person on stage and a completely different person away from the stage The ability to know you can do something is very freeing Connecting with people and helping them with something is what drives me forward and speaking and presentations helped. It’s about showing up taking the opportunities to be able to move towards your goals. Through Clubhouse I saw an opportunity to reach out to actors who needed help. Clubhouse is a great opportunity for public speaking. The people you put on a pedestal are the same as you they are going through the same thing as you. If you are just like them why not give it a go. When you think about the worst that can happen you also need to think about the best that can happen. You can go through a horrible scenario and come through it learning something. You limit yourself when you say others are at a different level, everyone is at a different place in their journey and will have had different opportunities. If you want to improve your public speaking the key is to continually practice and put the work in.    BEST MOMENT ‘I realised that everyone has the same fears and concerns’ ‘Think about what can go well and the best that can happen’ ‘Make sure you put in the work and whatever you think the work is, do more’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Michael Tow Instagram   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Putting in the Work and Seizing the Opportunities with Michael Tow

Toni talks with property strategist Jackie Tomes about how public speaking has been a vital part of her journey. As someone who has created her own successful businesses, Jackie now teaches others to do the same and uses public speaking to share her message about both the good times and the things she has had to navigate around in business. Developing and raising the profile of your brand is key if you are taking a long term view with your business and public speaking plays an important part in this as Jackie explains in this inspiring episode.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  If you are taking a long term view in business, having a brand is vital. Building a brand and raising your profile is all about the value you give and this grows goodwill. Public speaking is the vehicle you can use to get your message out there. It’s about achieving a balance between the value you give to achieve credibility and the processes you have for people who want to know more and pay for your services. Make sure it’s clear how you can help people and how they can work with you. Know what your personal values are, whose opinion you care about and that there will always be people who don’t agree with you. Deciding who you care about is a personal thing and will be different for everyone. Is the person giving you feedback someone you admire and respect? As humans, we take on what others say about us but it is more about the person saying it and where they are in that point in time. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you don’t need to take it on board. When people judge you remember it’s on their standards, not yours. If you can find a way to be authentically you when speaking in front of an audience that’s freedom.    BEST MOMENTS ‘We would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for the public speaking route I took’ ‘Public speaking is a huge part of the profile we have built’ ‘If you nurture it and treat it in the right way a brand will pay dividends throughout your life’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Tomes Homes website Property Strategy website   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Values, Opinions and Being Authentic in Public Speaking

Courtney Brown

Toni is with Tony Courtney Brown who is in the process of opening his Bio-Resonance Clinic. He shares the importance of Bio-Resonance, what it is, how it can help and his own experience. Tony explains not only his journey but how his passion for Bio-Resonance has shaped his mission and public speaking. Everyone has a story within them and sharing your story is about serving other people. We can often think that public speaking is about being in front of a large audience but it can take many forms and you can spread your message in lots of different ways to help others.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  When you have an entrepreneurial spirit, it is a part of you and everything you do. There is a balance in life between challenge and support. If we are supported in one area of life there will be challenges in another. You can achieve great things if you put yourself in the right position and having a problem-solving skill set is what makes it possible. Whatever the problem it’s all about working out the required action. You can be a public speaker without standing on a stage in front of an audience. When you consult and pitch to groups of managers you are speaking publicly When you are getting your message out there it doesn’t have to be about a sales it can be about an obstacle you’ve overcome or a product or service you have benefitted from. You open up to others and they open up to you. You realise everyone has something in their past and it has affected them profoundly. People begin to see the value in the hidden bits of them they have revealed. Everyone realises they have something to share that is of value and can help other people. Think about something in your life that was a challenge, think about how it might be of help to others. Take a deep breath and work out how to spread your message and tell your story.    BEST MOMENTS ‘Sharing your story is about serving other people and public speaking is about communicating your story to help others’ ‘I realised I had something that was worth sharing, could help and could open discussion with others’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Tony Courtney Brown Facebook   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Talks With Toni

Telling facts will surely make your audience listen, but telling facts WITH a story will make them not only listen, but also comprehend, think, visualize, plan, and act. In today’s episode of Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast, Toni emphasizes how powerful storytelling is for public speaking. She also shares her own real-life experience as an example just to prove the effectiveness of the 4-Step System. The 4-Step System, or a.k.a. Then-Now-How-Action, is one of the vital things you should learn if you want learn how to convey a message through a story. Discover also how being vulnerable could be beneficial to a speaker, how you could use the ‘YOU’ fixation, how humility could go a long way and what are the types of listeners you should be wary of during public speaking. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Be vulnerable and let them in. When you share personal stories, you make deeper connection and your content becomes memorable. When you share stories, make it visual and detailed. In this way, they could easily picture it and understand how it similar or different it from their experience or decisions. ‘YOU’ Fixation. One of the best methods to use, may it be in a spoken or written format. Instead of writing or saying phrases with ‘I’, try to change it with ‘you’ content so that it will give more impact to the listener. 4-Step System: Then-Now-How-Action Step 1: Then. Catalyst for change. When you decided to take the leap. Explain and paint a picture of your journey for your audience.   Step 2: Now. Share your current results with humility What have changed in your day-to-day, goals, and achievements?   Step 3: How. How did you get to the results?

#004 Convey Your Message Through Story

Everyone can be a good public speaker. Even Steve Jobs was supremely nervous at one of his first television interviews. In this episode, Toni Gargan goes through her top ten tips to ensure that you are an amazing public speaker. From getting out of your own way, following a system for your speech and enjoying the journey, Toni give you the best top tips to improve your public speaking. If you have a big speech coming up, or would like to improve your public speaking today this is the podcast for you. Key Takeaways Some of the best speeches in history have come from the most unlikely of people. If you think you can do it then you able to do it. You have to change your mindset and get out of your own way. Anything is possible if you get out of your own way. Even Steve Jobs was supremely nervous in his first live television interview but then skip forward to 2017, he is a polished public speaker. This is due to practice. These are top ten tips for improving your public speaking?   Speak about something that you are passionate about. Something that you are an expert on. Your journey, your knowledge, or your life experiences whatever it is. It doesn't matter what you speak about only that you know it well and that you are confident in it. Know why you're doing it. It's really important that you have a purpose for your speech. Maybe it’s a requirement, maybe you have to sell something new, or a Facebook live video. You should ask yourself two questions: What is the purpose of my speech? and What value will I add to my audience? If you nail both of these things then you can’t go wrong. Follow a system for your speech. We use the pentagon model here. This includes six questions with differing percentages: 1) What is it that you are talking of? (5%) 2) Why? (30% of your speech) 3) Why that subject matter, and what benefits there are to the audience? 4) How (40%) this is the biggest section, the information bit but make sure it’s entertaining and intriguing. 5) What if? (15%) around the fears, concerns and how to overcome concerns as to why people should listen to you. 6) When? Is it a specific date of the speech or a future date. Know your audience. Focus your speech to those that will be listening. Even if the content is the same for your speech it needs to be angled to your audience. It needs to be fit for purpose for your audience, making it fun, entertaining almost a game.      Practice, Prepare and Practice again. Have key points that you want to cover noted down. Prepare alone, in front of your peers, and in front of friends. Maybe even record yourself, to identify what you can do better, or what you do well.      Start with the end in mind. Visualise how confident you will be, what the audience reaction will be at the end of the speech, the nodding of heads, engagement with your workshops. The previous five in the list are about the leg-work but it’s really important to visualise your success to be successful.      Create the connection. Make your story connect with your audience. You could be one of many speeches that your audience has heard all day. You need to stand out and make the audience connect with you. You need that connection for them to buy into the information and/or product or service. Your focus is on adding value to the audience.     Record Your Live Speeches. When you give the speech to a live environment, it is making sure it’s recorded. You can identify what has been successful and where you can improve as well as the audience's reactions. Even just an audio version. It’s important to note what worked really well. Write down at the end of each speech what worked, and what you would change afterwards. At the earliest opportunity when it is fresh in your mind as to what worked well and can be improved on. You can forget very quickly later in the day if you don’t write them down straight away. Enjoy it. Enjoy your speech, don’t focus on just getting through it, make sure you enjoy the connection with the audience, and focus on the benefits to the audience.  Best Moments‘Absolutely anyone can be a public speaker.’‘You set your own limits.’ ‘No-one is born  natural born speakers, they all practice.’ ‘What you talk about doesn’t matter as your confidence’ ‘It's important that you have a purpose to your speech,’ ‘Audience members will ask what’s in it for me?’ ‘Focus your speech on your audience, the benefits to them.’ ‘Practice, prepare and practice again.’ ‘Think about your net-time to practice; driving in the car.’‘People buy into people.’ ‘Your friends and family will either go really positive or hyper-negative.’ ‘Practice in private to present in public.’ ‘The objective for each speech is to be better than the last one.’ ‘Make small incremental changes, every time you practice a speech.’‘If you enjoy it then your audience will enjoy it even more.’ ‘The best speakers show confidence, charisma and a connection with the audience.’ Valuable Resources  Steve Jobs 1978 Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb9YTXmPolo.

#014 10 Top-Tips to Public Speaking

In today’s episode, Toni asks the thought-provoking question, can an introvert be a public speaker? It’s a common misconception that in order to be a good speaker in public, you have to be extroverted, but that isn’t the case. Listen on to find out why... KEY TAKEAWAYS  Extroverts are outgoing, socially confident, they get involved, and they like to talk. Introverts are seen as shy and socially awkward.     Winston Churchill, Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln are among the greatest speakers of all time. But they were also self-professed introverts.     Introverts spend much time alone, which actually serves them well in terms of time for research, writing, prepare and refine and practice.     The audience wants you to succeed. Even if you look a little nervous this can sometimes work to your advantage, because people will will you to succeed.     If you’re an introvert, it makes you hyper self-aware, and this can only be a good thing when you’re a speaker. You’ll more than likely feel more connected to your audience  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Speaking is not an act of extroversion’  ‘An introvert looks inside to draw their energy’  ‘People buy into you because they can see your authenticity’  ‘Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa had the ability to listen to their audience’  ‘Remember, the audience wants you to succeed. It’s in their interests and yours’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Progressive Property Presenting, Pitching And Public Speaking Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Can An Introvert Be A Public Speaker?

‘There are so many ways that you, as the speaker, can control the energy in the room You need to take the hand of the audience and lead them in the direction you would like them to go’ In this episode, Toni shares her response to the question ‘How do you take a room and bring them up in energy ?’ She explains how as the speaker you can not only manage audience energy but change it throughout a speech or presentation to increase impact and the emotional experience of your audience. If you have ever been to a presentation where the energy it too much or experienced the speaker who has no energy? then listen in and find out how as the speaker you can bring the right level of energy to your presentation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  You must gauge and meet the audience where they are at when you enter the room and then move the energy to bring your audience to where you want them to be. It’s about being conscious and aware of where your audience is but not allowing the energy of the room to impact on you. Before you’ve started your speech you need to identify the energy within the room. Do this by listening and being part of the room before you speak The way in which you visually appear and audibly begin can capture the attention of the audience. The way you dress and the props you use will impact on the energy and mood in the room When you want to lower the energy within the room to create a more intimate mood or connection lowering your volume and using a softer tone can achieve this effect Altering your tone, volume and pace can alter the energy in the room and bring the audience to the level of energy you want. One of the most poignant ways you can achieve a connection is through silence. If you can master the art of the pause it can really help you to connect with the audience. Movement can help you to connect to your audience and motion creates emotion. Your movement influences the mood of the audience taking a seat and pausing following a walk around creates a connection point with your audience. By amending your position, pose and tone you can create the emotion in the room and in turn affect the energy Before you alter the energy in the room its important you understand your own energy We focus on the energy in the room but the audience will feed off your energy so it’s vital to manage your own energy before you step onto the stage. Identify your own energy, use it as your starting pint and be conscious of the energy you want to convey to the audience.    BEST MOMENTS ‘The worst thing you can do is come in with the energy you would like them to have when they are not already there’ ‘If your audience is timid and tame it can affect your energy as the speaker. So, it is vital you manage your own energy’ ‘The element of surprise will alter the mood in the room’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Rob Moore Mark Homer   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Energy Management

“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” – Dr Seuss Sometimes, what we dread about ourselves are the parts of us that actually makes us ‘US’ and what makes us different from others. But how do we turn them around so we make them instead of our strength? Our ultimate brand to be the best speaker or presenter? In this episode, Toni speaks about the beauty of highlighting that thing that’s unique in you. No need to be just like the others. You’re meant to be different; you’re meant to stand out! So, it’s time to figure out today with Toni what within you could make you one of the best speakers in this day and age!

She shares the psychology that underpins authority and how to get out of your own way to achieve successful and engaging speeches and presentations.   This is an invaluable listen for anyone who has a message or information to share with an audience.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Your authority as a speaker comes from your psychology in speaking. Everyone experiences the voice your head, which questions what you are doing and your right to be doing it. If you allow the voice in your head to stop you in public speaking because you have a lower level of self-worth or you have authority fears around it you are never going to get to where you want to be.

There are lots of ways to share your message – you have the opportunity to get out there and be seen and heard across various social media platforms. <ul> <li>Perspective</li> </ul> It does take courage to stand on a stage, but it is important to put this into context it’s not a life or death situation. Whether it’s the act of delivery in front of an audience or the expectation that you are putting on yourself it is imperative to put some perspective around it. <ul> <li>Service</li> </ul> How can I help you? This should be at the forefront when answering questions, speaking on stage or writing a blog. Your focus should always be about how you are serving your audience. <ul> <li>Basics</li> </ul> Find out what people want and give it to them - an effective presentation doesn’t need to have all the information. It’s about providing the right amount of information in an engaging and entertaining format. <ul> <li>An effective speech will always follow a format – the pentagon model of what, why, how, what if, when can be utilised effectively to create your speech.</li> <li>You can provide the best presentation in just a few minutes if the information is good, the content is valuable, and you’ve served your audience.</li> </ul> BEST MOMENTS  ‘If you are focused on being grateful for the experience it will come across to your audience’ ‘Your listeners have taken time out of their day to listen to you and that’s something to be very grateful for’ ‘Be true and authentic’ ‘Find your passion, find your core then get out there and share your message’ ‘The most effective presentations are those that come from the heart with GPS at the core of them’ VALUABLE RESOURCES <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/presenting-pitching-public-speaking/id1435146863?mt=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking series</a> ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

#013 Creating an Effective Speech

Believe it or not, there’s more to public speaking than the speech itself. What about the dozens of other things in our lives that can affect how we think, how we perform, and of course, how we speak on the day? In this episode, Toni gives you a concise and practical guide to dealing with the non-speaker side of public speaking, from sleeping properly to creating emotion through motion. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Sleep - It’s imperative to get enough sleep before any kind of engagement. How can you expect to deal with a room full of listeners with whom you may need to interact and stimulate, if your mind isn’t firing on all cylinders?     Keep hydrated - It might seem like a small thing, but a lack of hydration can affect your delivery, which can cascade down into other issues. If you’re focussing on the way it’s affecting your speech, your performance will suffer.     Getting in state - The practice of preparing yourself mentally and physically for your presentation, whether by a personal ritual or a certain routine you adhere to. Get yourself into the zone.     Motion - Motion creates emotion. Moving on stage increases the energy between you and your audience, but it’s also the case in terms of preparation. Don’t be lethargic before a presentation. Get the blood pumping, because that energy will transfer.     Create those habits - Combine all your own tactics to create your habits, your routine, and use it to keep you on top form.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘It’s important that you know your own body, and know what you need’  ‘You’ve got to be fully present, both in mind and body’  ‘Motion creates emotion'  ’Normal is what we do, not what we are'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Progressive Property Presenting, Pitching And Public Speaking Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

The Non-Speaker Side Of Speaking

‘Have you ever heard someone deliver a really good speech where they haven’t been reading from a script or relying heavily on slides and you’ve thought ‘WOW’ The best speeches are those delivered using a tried and tested system with the right dose of information, the perfect balance of emotion and the correct measures humour and content. This episode is an overview of the 28-step speaker system of Unlimited Success. This system has generated in excess of 30 million pounds in speaker sales and will enable any speaker to be able to deliver a seamless presentation, listen in now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Some of the best speeches ever delivered have been scripted or systemised completely and The speaker system of Unlimited Success is your best ally, within the system, there are 7 main parts;  The big entrance  This is exactly what it says, it’s about beginning as you mean to go on and sets the tone for your speech. You should aim to arrive at the apex of the applause.  Earn  the honour  This is about your authority as a speaker, your right to be there giving the speech. If you are being introduced you need to answer the immediate question in the mind of the audience ‘who are you and ‘why should I listen to you?’ You should then give a summary of your results with humility.  Pentagon part 1  This is the ‘what’, ‘why’ and the ‘how’  Story  It is where you create emotion by connecting with the audience through your story. Quite often your audience will be you a few years earlier and sharing your story will really connect with them.  Pentagon part 2  This is the ‘what if’ and ‘when’  Elegant sales formula  This is where you convey your message and make your offer.  The close  This is where you close your speech answering any questions.

The ‘decoy’ Another breakout session is ‘the decoy’ This is ultimately a bonus offered at the end of the speech. It is introduced early on and is given high value during the speech so that when it is offered as an additional product, desire or need has been generated in your audience.  The River   The river is the tiny components that are woven together to create a seamless speech and are ever present in your delivery. Such as; The energy you bring and as the speaker how you control the level of energy throughout your speech. The ‘you fixation’, where you include the audience, using ‘you’ in place of ‘I’ this is when you are placing your audience in your speech. Eye contact is imperative connecting you to each and every person in the room it makes people think you are speaking to them individually. The 6 ‘C’s - Charisma, conviction, connection, content, concern, contact All play a part and should be elegantly woven into your speech ever-present throughout the complete presentation. When you learn and practice using this system, you will be the person who is delivering the effortless ‘WOW’ speech    BEST MOMENTS ‘This system  has been designed to incorporate all the most important elements of a good speech’ ‘It’s vital to ensure you achieve the right balance on arriving’ ‘There are so many things that are ever present in a successful speech, an elegant bridge allows your speech to flow linking sections together seamlessly’ ‘Your story creates the connection; the audience will connect with the emotion you are conveying, and this results in a stronger rapport between you and the audience   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Delivering the Effortless Speech with the Unlimited Success Speaker System

In this episode of the Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast Toni focuses on interaction in your speeches. It is your role when you are presenting or speaking in public to get your audience involved, to keep engagement and to ensure that they feel the part of your delivery. You sit in someone’s presentation or delivery, you don’t want it to sound like a monologue. You would want to avoid that type of presentation or speaking. So, what do you do? Toni shows you how you can avoid a low energy room environment and make sure that your audience understands and enjoy your speech or presentation every time. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Responsibility. As a public speaker, it is your duty to gauge the room and see what the energy is like within the room. It is your responsibility to elevate it when it needs to be elevated and to really calm the energy down when the energy is a bit loud or rude. You have the ability to do that when you are presenting. Start with the end in mind. What information do you want to elicit from your audience? Are you trying to get a response from them? Or are you trying to get them to come on board a thought process which may be yours or somebody else’s? Think about what emotion you are trying to evoke. What information are you trying to elicit? Are you to get the audience to do something? You need to know from the start what kind of response it is that you're trying to evoke on with that in mind that would determine the amount of interaction you have within your speeches. Networking breaks. Raise the energy in the room if you feel that it is on the low mode. Networking breaks is a good exercise for when people don’t necessarily know one another. Before you do this, make sure that you set the rules ahead of time, especially if the audience is as large as 400 people. You might not be able to control it if you don’t set the rules ahead of time. Example, you tell them, I’d like you to meet 3 people that you don’t know yet in the next three minutes. This will lift the energy of the room as they have to do something physical. Brainstorming. So you set the tone from the start. Identify what you're hoping for and then just to be clear, we can ask for some shares. From the root,  it becomes a group exercise. Everyone can get up on their feet. And people getting involved to get up on their feet and brainstorm, and you get people's brains into action which means they're going to remain engaged and interested. Even if they're the type of people who maybe aren't very comfortable and shout out loud to the room, maybe not the type of people who are the first to raise their hand, it could be someone quite shy, this gives everyone the ability to talk to one another and to get their voice heard. Debrief. We’ll ask for some shares. How did people feel like what went? People who would like to speak up will have the opportunity to speak and to stand out. Others who are quieter can speak within the group. So example, you have requested some information from your group, you’ve identified that you’re looking for a particular response, and you’ve given information. Now, you are looking for people to feedback to you. Debriefs are a perfect way to do this. Rob Moore’s favourite thing to do is to swap his audience seats. Everyone who is sat at the front of the room moves to the back of the room and vice versa. There will be energy, and it gets people talking. Raise the energy of the room. Get the people to do something physical. Let them move about. Walk around. Or let them do role plays.  BEST MOMENTS “Delivering your speech is to be aware of the energy within the room and people's interest in regards to what you're saying. It's your responsibility to ensure that you care for your audience to have the best experience and to ensure that you're not allowing your audience also to drain your energy.” “Identify it that you want to do some speaker interaction because you want people to have the best experience you want people to remember.” “Using your speaker interaction, so people know what's expected of them, but they're not just sitting there, not there to listen to what you've got to say that they're working. They’re gonna get involved. They're gonna get motivated and really help you to make the best day for them” ABOUT THE HOSTToni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Overcoming Fear

When you deliver a speech, the communication is broken down into 3 core elements. The words account for 7% of your message, The tonality of your voice accounts for 38% of the message and 55% of the message is conveyed through your body language. Toni discusses the importance of body language and movement in both engaging your audience and getting your message across effectively. If you want to make sure that your interactions build rapport and are memorable then the correct use of movement and body language is vital, listen in to find out how to be effective and move to another level when presenting.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Never underestimate the importance of body language in any speech or presentation. Practise is an important element and it makes you more congruent.  Facial expression  Your facial expression is a vital tool bringing emotion to what you are saying. When you have true congruence, your face will display exactly the feeling you are experiencing. It can help you to establish a good connection with your audience.  Eye contact  Building a rapport by making frequent and meaningful eye contact is an effective way to engage your audience as individuals. Making eye contact helps you to ascertain if the audience understands what you are saying and conveys both your credibility and authenticity.  Movement  Using the right movements and focusing on how you use them can help you connect with your audience and effectively get your message across. There are 5 main postures or movements representing different emotions we convey.  The placator The blamer The computer The distractor The leveller  Tony Robbins states that ‘emotion is created by motion’. Choosing the right movements and focusing on how you use them can help you to connect with your audience and effectively get your message across. The right level of movement can be of huge benefit to your speeches and presentations.    BEST MOMENTS ‘Never underestimate the importance of body language  in any speech or presentation’ ‘When you have true congruence, your face will display exactly the feeling you are experiencing. It can help you to establish a good connection with your audience’ ‘It’s like they are talking specifically to you, it creates the rapport it is very powerful’ ‘Your hands can paint a picture. Your hand movements can reinforce what you are saying’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

Conveying Emotion through Effective Motion

Speeches don’t have to be deadpan serious! One of the keys to making it memorable for the speaker and the receiver during public speaking is to have fun by incorporating humour. In this episode of Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast, Toni lays out effective strategies on how to add jokes, one-liners, self-deprecating humour, anecdotes and many more to your speech. It’s a skill you have to learn since timing and delivery play important roles in making your audience laugh. Discover also why it’s important to understand your natural default energy when delivering a speech and to take note how serious or light is the content of your speech to know how to add in the humour. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Jokes, one-liners and self-deprecating humour. Comedians use this. It’s not for everyone, but it invites a good laugh from the audience. But you shouldn’t undermine yourself and add up a lot of humour especially if it is content-driven or educational speech. Time is the absolute key. Jokes and one-liners are all about the delivery and timing. Using catchphrases once to thrice in your speech can add that depth and a little humor to your content. And, also it diffuses the pressure in the environment. Make sure that you’re comfortable for you to say the jokes you’ll incorporate. Just like we learned last time, you can model your speech from someone BUT always make your personality stand out. If there’s an unforeseen event (e.g. delayed schedule, tech issues, etc.) that happened during your speech, make use of it. Tell a joke about it. It makes your listeners laugh and at the same time, they forget what happened and focus on your content instead. Use your face or voice to portray emotions. Give credit to the person you got the joke from.  BEST MOMENTS  “Humor is learned.” “There’s no point of doing public speaking if it isn’t fun.” “Not enough humour can make it quite dry; too much humour can make it to playful to not get your message across.” “The worst jokes are the ones that are half-done.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Progressive Property Rob Moore Mark Homer  ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

#005 The Serious Business of Having Fun And Using Humour in Your Speeches

You’ve got the high-quality content, you’ve written it out, but still don’t have the idea how to properly deliver the speech? In public speaking, there is energy, movement, and tonality that you should start practising on. Today in Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast, Toni tells how important are these three elements when delivering a speech. They create the stimulating atmosphere inside the room and connect you to your audience better. Learn how to control the highs &amp; lows, the ebbs &amp; flows, and the peaks &amp; troughs of your voice. The power of your voice and movement can change the energy, the emotions and the mood of your audience. KEY TAKEAWAYS  If you move a lot, your energy is high, your tone is high. And this generates an invigorating voice in the room. If you want to lower your tone, stay in one place or sit on a stool while speaking. It can be used to emphasize a point. You can use it to lower your energy or rest for a while. If it’s a small room, make it a participative environment. Get a response by hand-raising or by letting them answer yes-or-no questions. If it’s a big room, divide them into groups. Let them share stories and knowledge with one another. In this way, the energy in the room also raises. If you get distracted by a few audience members because they may be talking, checking their phone, or sleeping, don’t focus on them. Focus on the rest of your audience who actually has an interest in your content. If there is low energy inside the room, use power exercises, icebreakers, or games to energize them up. We all have a default energy and tone. It can be quiet, measured, or loud BUT it doesn’t matter. What matters is how to own it and emphasize it in a room. Congruence and Confidence. Create the energy, movement, and tonality needed to make an interesting speech. When it’s an exciting part of the speech, increase your tone, pace, energy. The rollercoaster of speed, energy, and emotions can be noticed by your audience.  BEST MOMENTS  “It’s important that your participants are having fun and are engaged throughout your speech. You can determine this through your own energy.” “Don’t prejudge the room and get the incorrect perception." “You determine the energy in the room. You have the power to increase it or decrease it.” “Not just the visible energy, but the invisible energy can be noticed as well.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Progressive Property Rob Moore Mark Homer  ABOUT THE HOST Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

#015 Your Brand as a Speaker

Recently, Toni asked a group of entrepreneurs the question: “Who here uses public speaking within your business? And how?” After studying the responses, it soon became clear that many people regard the art of public speaking as something limited to stages and keynote addresses. But it can be used in many different ways. It’s time to stop pigeon-holing public-speaking, and stop assuming that it’s for stage events only.  In this episode, Toni shares ten ways in which you can use your voice and share your message without standing on a stage.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Articles and blogs - Writing is an opportunity for you to share your knowledge, to share your insight and your specialist area. The cost of entry is practically zero, and can earn you huge benefits in return. Social media - There are many ways to engage with social media, one of the most effective being video. But written posts can go viral, too. You can get your voice out there without actually getting your voice out there. Write a book - Everyone has a story to tell. Focus on yours and tell it to the world. You can inspire others and leave a lasting legacy all in one hit. Video - Quite often, video posts are more linked to, and opened, by people searching for messages or information.  Podcasting - Podcasting is a cheap and effective way of allowing your voice out into the world, whether it’s a show you’re creating, or appearances on other people’s shows. More importantly it fits in to your lifestyle and wherever you live. Email - Promoting a product or service, pitching or simply mailing a list to keep them updated, it’s one more way to reach an audience without being on a stage. Conference calls - You can engage with entire groups of people in one fell swoop by appearing on a conference call. You don’t need to be physically present to talk to an audience. Hosting a webinar - The benefit with a webinar is, again, it can allow you to instantly reach a large audience without being present. The bes part is that a single webinar can be re-used over and over again. Networking events - When you are speaking to a small group of people, even socially, you are a public speaker. You don’t have to be on a stage. You just need to be engaging, even if it’s only one person at a time. Your livestreams on social media - It is an opportunity to not just speak to your audience, but to bond and connect dynamically with people who tune in.    BEST MOMENTS ’There are people who make an entire living from creating articles’  ‘You can get your voice out there without getting your voice out there’  ‘Everybody has a story, and people love a hero’s journey’  ‘If you’re on a street corner speaking out loud, then you’re a public speaker'  VALUABLE RESOURCES   Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success   ABOUT THE HOST    Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.

10 Ways To Speak Without A Stage

Welcome back to the Presenting, Pitching &amp; Public Speaking Podcast. In this episode, Toni takes a deeper dive into audience interaction and shares with you how to litter your presentation with interactions to keep your audience engaged and elicit a response. Toni looks are the different methods of interaction and gives you her top tips to interacting both verbally and non-verbally. Listen to the previous episode here: #010 Speaker Interaction KEY TAKEAWAYS  Use sporadically throughout your delivery - Don’t allow interaction to become the focal point of your delivery. Simply allow yourself to litter interaction with your audience throughout your speech. Don’t make it too top or end heavy. It’s got to be relevant - Always consider the context of your interactions during your delivery and how that impacts on your content. Keep it relevant. Vary your responsiveness - Bring in and engage every type of listener with varied responses when interacting. Incorporate all of the different learner types by varying your responses. Lead by example - If you are asking people to raise their hand you need to lead by example. This will help to elicit a response and allow you to keep them engaged. Eye contact, smiling and your body language - These are all fabulous, non-verbal ways to interact with your audience and break down barriers.  How To Interact With Questions  Questioning within the room. - This can be one-to-one or one-many. Ask questions to groups within the room - Crowdsource your answers, get hand-raisers or ask them to shout out the answer. Ask your audience to write down their answers on a piece of paper - This is a non-verbal interaction but gets your audience thinkings and keeps them engaged.- There are two different forms of questions. Open and closed and you can use the T.E.D model to ask them. T: - Tell me. E: - Explain. D: - Describe- A great way to ask closed questions and gain audience interaction is to ‘Tag’ the answer on to the end of your statement. For example, Public speaking is a great way to grow your business, yes or no? the audience will answer yes or no.  There’s verbal and non-verbal interaction you can employ to keep your audience engaged. It’s your responsibility as the speaker to identify how much of each type of interaction to deliver. It’s also your responsibility to ensure the environment is right within the room. Along with everything else you need to monitor the room to ensure it doesn’t detract away from the delivery of your presentation.BEST MOMENTS “If you’re doing a 30-second elevator pitch you might not use or need any interaction in your delivery. But if you’re delivering a half-day training session or an hour and a half presentation you’ll want to include interaction in your delivery.”“Always ensure your delivery is consistent but tailored to your specific audience.” “The amount of interaction you’ll look to use will depend upon the duration of your speech or presentation” “Bear in mind the context and content of your interactions” VALUABLE RESOURCES #010 Speaker InteractionABOUT THE HOSTToni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.
