The fear of forgetting what to say in a speech might be the biggest worry for speakers. In this week’s video, I share not only how to remember a speech, but also why stories are so powerful in speaking.

Watch the full video to learn the technique I use.

Also please notice how my assistant Maria is demonstrating the power of using hand gestures and body language to help me remember what to say. The “muscle memory” reminds you of the order of the story.

And notice that there is one place where I forget one part of the speech, but in a regular speech that does not really matter as no-one knows what you were supposed to say.

When you are confident that you will remember your speech, you relax. When you relax you become a much better speaker. Watch this video and become a better speaker.

“Should virtual speeches be recorded or live?” That was the question I got earlier this week from a client for a future virtual event.

In this video I give both my preference, and what I think is the right answer (and that is two different things.)

Watch it on Youtube.

And on Linkedin.

In today’s episode of Professional Speaking, we talk about how creativity is so important in virtual events because it’s just too early to think we know “how to do them”.

Let’s experiment, try new things and be creative to make sure that the virtual meetings become amazing experiences.
