I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Oscar on his podcast. It was a wide-ranging conversation that covered the following topics, among others:
- Why the opening of a speech is important and a story about how I worked with a client to help her come up with a powerful opening for an important speech.
- Four rhetorical devices that anyone can use to make their speech or presentation more persuasive.
- Rhetoric – The Public Speaking Game™. This is the board game that Florian Mueck and I created to help people improve their public speaking skills and have fun at the same time. People around the world are having fun playing RHETORIC in businesses, at Agile conferences, in schools and at home.
- Some inspiring quotations and recommended books.
- A simple, but effective exercise you can do at home to improve your stage presence.
- And more.
