The Story behind the Words...
"This course is a fantastic challenge of 'double-think' for me because I have to prove with every word and gesture that what I'm teaching actually works! It really tickles me...
"I know what it's like to dread public speaking. I was miserably frightened before my first ever professional seminar in 1991, and then someone leaped up and blustered 'I've been here an hour and I haven't heard anything useful yet!' Luckily I was so shocked that I couldn't think of a thing to say - lucky, because the rest of the audience turned on that person and dealt with the problem for me. Big lesson learned!
"Since then I've dealt with every kind of audience and some major technical failures; from workbooks not delivered to fire, ceiling cave-in, power cuts; abysmal catering, unbearable heat/cold, filthy rooms and toilets, vanishing staff and banqueting managers who just didn't care. I've given day-long courses with no notes and in casual clothes after my luggage was lost - and after nights entirely without sleep in noisy hotels...
"Worse things happened to my colleagues: notes stolen; taken ill on the platform...
"You can be a successful speaker with practice, by treating the audience as your guests, and above all by putting that spark of creativity into solving problems and delivering your subject with knowledge and a dash of passion."
