You can tell listeners you're a team all you like... But do you sound like one? When co-presenting, clarity on the handovers is key. If they're clumsy, ragged and/or uncertain (or all three) it really shows. Simplest way to nail handovers? If you're the outgoing speaker, make your very last word... "The first name" of the next speaker. Clear, short and definitive. Avoid: "Uhm, yes so with that I'll hand over to X who'll say a bit about ABC, is that right...?" #communication #publicspeaking #team

When you start your presentation... Whatever you do, don’t start off thanking the audience or telling them how happy you are to be there. Start with your question or with the beginning of your story. My start for the last 22 years… People always ask me, “What’s it feel like to hurl yourself down an icy chute at 80-90 miles per hour? Is it scary? YES it’s scary! It’s awful! —— Always start with the same sentence / story. That way you’re on autopilot and don’t have time to get nervous. Strong start and strong finish. That’s the only part of your talk most people will remember. #publicspeaking #professionalspeaking #presentations #thelugeman
