Phil Roybal's Presenter Training Podcasts (There are many more!)

Podcast - telling stories

Telling Stories - Great communicators use simple tales that make ideas concrete and give them sticking power. Such stories are a powerful way to connect with your audience and communicate the broad picture. They're the antithesis of "death by bullet points". Draw them from your own experience or that of others. Then weave them into your presentation and watch how the audience reacts. Your stories will set you apart from other presenters, and help listeners distill and repeat to others what you said.

Podcast - moving on stage

Moving on Stage - Wondering how to have more impact as a presenter? Just because they gave you a lectern doesn't mean you have to exile yourself behind it. The whole stage is a tool for delivering the message. Use it to increase audience contact and provide context for the parts of your presentation. You'll find that the right kind of motion can increase listener involvement and put you more at ease during your presentation.

Podcast - non words

Non-Words - Do you "um" and "ah" your way through talks, or end statements with "Right?" or some other characteristic phrase? Do it enough and it drives listeners to distraction. They're so focussed on the noise that they miss your points. Perhaps you do it out of nervousness, or to give yourself time to think. You may not even be aware that you're doing it. Well, a simple technique will help you escape the non-word trap, and build drama in your presentation at the same time.
