Master Your Talk
Brenden Kumarasamy pt 1
Story telling is an art that everyone needs to master, but few do. Everyone has a story to tell. Think about it. At work, you tell stories to make a point. At home, you tell stories to make a point. At church, your pastor tells stories to make a point. Jesus told stories to make a point.
But, few people master the art of story telling. Now, you can take great forward strides, because my guest today helps people to do just that.
Many people struggle with the idea of speaking from a stage or on video. They worry about how they will look, how they will sound, what can they talk about?
Brenden Kumarasamy is the founder of "Master Talk," a YouTube series dedicated to the art of public speaking. Brenden believes anyone can become confident public speakers and storytellers. From students to CEO’s Brenden teaches you how to master your speeches, presentations and solicitations.
Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brenden Kumarasamy?
How did you come up with the idea for “MasterTalk?”
A lot of people are trying or contemplating becoming public speakers. It could be for a career move or another way to grow their marketing potential, etc. What is the biggest challenge that most people will have in public speaking?
Why do so many people struggle with public speaking?
What are some ways we can make a great first impression when taking the stage for a presentation?
Is delivery or content more important in our presentations?
How can we identify that one key idea that will spark action on the part of our listeners?
How can we help our audience identify with their needs? Maybe needs which they may not even be aware of, and use that to communicate our needs in the same process?
Can you explain your phrase: “Prioritize to maximize?”
One part that I especially took away from one of your videos was about the “endless gaze.” I was good at the pauses, etc. But I had never considered the “endless gaze.” That is awesome. Tell us how that can be used effectively in a speaking presentation?
In several of your videos, you talk about the “random word exercise.” Can you explain how that works and give us an example?
What if you are speaking on a topic that really is not that interesting? How can you make a memorable talk on something that could be perceived as boring?
