The Speakery Protocols

Free, practical and actually useful–introducing the Speakery Protocols.

A new year full of presentations, speeches and keynotes pans out before us. Perhaps you’re looking for a bit of help with them? Maybe you’re hunting for simple and practical presentation nudges that actually help.

I'm currently working on a book of emergency presentation protocols. But I know a few people who need emergency help now, so here are eleven that should ease any presentation pain.

Protocol 1: Deescalte and calm down.
Protocol 2: Understand what a presentation is.
Protocol 3: Think like a journalist.
Protocol 4: Define your audience.
Protocol 5: Ask the three questions that matter.
Protocol 6: Silence the impostor.
Protocol 7: Embrace the language.
Protocol 8: Tell yourself what each slide is about.
Protocol 9: Tell yourself why they should care.
Protocol 10: Do a mental dress rehearsal.
Protocol 11: Present as if your next presentation is your last.

I've prepared a PDF with a detailed description of how to use them.

The Speakery Protocols document is free to download and use and can be found on Speakery.de. Updates, rough ideas, and regular protocols appear here on Speakery Notes. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about using the protocols or if anything is unclear.

In other news, I sat down with Neil Perkin to discuss all things Speakery for the marvellous Firstarters podcast.

We both hope that you find it useful.

Have a wonderful week!
