This event is ideal for someone who identifies as a woman either some or all of the time and has thought about speaking at WordPress Meetups or at the WordCamps themselves.
Perhaps you can’t think of a good topic to cover. Maybe you would feel more confident when up on stage with so many eyes on you.
The Speaker Workshop is one of the best ways to help you build that confidence while giving you the tools to figure out great topics that will keep your audience captivated.
What Topics Can You Expect to Cover at This Event?
This one-day event will help you with:
- Overcoming personal obstacles such as impostor syndrome.
A lot of great people are often held back by their own misgivings of themselves. This event will help you realize that you have a presence and that you belong. - Finding a topic for your talk.
In reality, there is a plethora of things to talk about regarding WordPress and entrepreneurial success. And the speakers will show you the best methods for finding those topics. - Writing a proposal for your talk.
The proposal is the entryway for speaking, especially at WordCamps. You’ll learn how to create the best titles, biographies, and outlines for your proposals. - Becoming a better speaker.
It takes more than just getting on stage and talking. You have to engage the audience and keep them listening. You’ll learn how to be a better speaker overall. - Practicing public speaking – which is optional.
Practice makes perfect. At least, that’s what most successful folk say. That’s because every time you do something, you become better and better. This is an optional exercise, but it could be one of the most pivotal for your success. - Creating good presentations.
How you present the topic can make a world of difference for your talk. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to put them together in the most efficient and engaging way. - Handling difficult questions.
Not all questions are going to be easy. Sometimes, you’ll have to field some of the hardest questions regarding your topic. And you’ll learn how to handle those moments with poise and grace. - The most important aspect of all; Building confidence and motivation to speak in public.
Confidence is key to success in any field. Motivation will get you to where you want to be. Combined, you’ll be an unstoppable force during your talk while keeping the audience enthralled.
