I believe that the platform of being professional mental health and the motivational speaker comes with great responsibility. That’s why I believe it’s important to always be improving my presentation skills.

I had the chance to sit down with Paul Kreiter, a professional speaking coach, and learn public speaking tips to help improve a few areas of my presentation that I thought could use a little work. In the end, this makes me a better communicator.

To help those of you that want to learn how to be a public speaker, I recorded several of the sessions for your benefit.

Today you’re going to get a behind the scenes look at me working with my speaking coach, Paul Kreiter. If you want to know how to become a public speaker, this series is for you!

In fact, in this video, you’ll hear the exact advice that he gives me on how to create a strong opening for my mental health keynote presentations.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

You’re going to see why I find it beneficial to work with a public speaking coach while building a career as a motivational speaker. It’s easy to get caught in a rut and you don’t want to give the same old presentation every time.

Paul shares important public speaking tips on the importance of being intentional and using the opening to set the foundation for the rest of your presentation. He explains just how to do it and helps me apply it to one of the mental health keynote presentations.

However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all plan, so Paul shares more about the importance of taking your audience into consideration as you prepare for your presentation. He even gives some important tips on what you can use as that crucial first bite.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you can improve the opening of your presentations in 2020.

Today you’re going to get a behind the scenes look at me working with my speaking coach, Paul Kreiter. If you want to know how to become a public speaker, this series is for you!

In fact, in this video, Paul shares the importance of focusing on the details when creating content for my mental health presentations.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

With the new presentation tips that I’ve learned from Paul, I want to start rewriting my speech. However, in the midst of moving things around and repurposing my content, Paul stresses the importance of focusing on the details in order to be more effective.

You’ll get to hear the “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” analogy that Paul uses to school me on what happens if you don’t include the small, important details. As you’ll hear, intentional details completely transform a story.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you can improve the opening on your presentations in 2020.
