Laurie Gilbertson is a speaker, coach, entrepreneur, trial lawyer and the founder of Tribeca Blue Consulting

Laurie helps professionals communicate with clarity, confidence and creativity when public speaking, presenting, making media appearances or being involved in trial work.

In this episode Laurie shares tips and advice for those looking to deliver their first presentation as well as for experienced presenters and business leaders who want and potentially need to ensure that they understand the benefits of preparation and practice.

As Laurie says on her website ‘public speaking should be an opportunity to excel, not an obligation to dread’. Laurie shares lots of tips and advice around the area that probably holds back most presenters and that is a lack of confidence and the worry about simply being too nervous to speak.

Laurie advises that presenters and speakers talk through their presentation as a way of practising to ensure it works and to never be too prepared – sound advice given the fact that a lot of business presenters and speakers very often for various reasons fail to prepare well and do little or no practice

Laurie's top three tips to transform your presentation and speaking skills are:

Be yourselfCreate an introduction which demonstrates you thought about your audience – this could be in the form of a question, a story that or a propDeliver a conclusion in a similar format so that you are generating engagement energy at the beginning and the end of your presentation
