Gutsy Presenter

It's not that you gesture too much; it's more about how you gesture. Jennifer and Scott talk hand gestures with this episode's Gutsy Guinea Pig, Laura Browne (www.careertipsforwomen.com). We discuss what makes for good and not-so-good gestures and reveal a helpful technique for you to become more intentional with your gestures while speaking virtually.

Great presentations are not one-way monologues; they are inclusive. Jennifer and Scott discuss what it means to be inclusive as a presenter, the mindset you need to have and specific techniques for making your presentations, workshops and meetings more inclusive.

After a riveting discussion about guinea pig ownership, we actually coach Gutsy Guinea Pig, Joel Perez (apoyocoaching.com). Watch as we discuss framing yourself in your webcam, directionality, and how periods and pauses relate to being intentional.

Talking and listening – they seem like opposites, right? Jennifer and Scott discuss how listening plays a critical role in speaking, how it comes in different forms, and a few things you can do to become a better listener.

Telling a story off the cuff is tough but Kate, our Gutsy Guinea Pig for this episode, does it like a pro. Jennifer, Scott and Kate talk storytelling and how to keep in control to keep things concise. Enjoy the storytelling insights.

All of us get a little wordy at times, maybe some of us more than others. Jennifer and Scott explore the forces that cause us to get long-winded and how to think and act differently to reign in our thoughts and words.
