This Friday, I’m on my way to Auckland for the Professional Speakers Australia New Zealand Convention… and I’m the opening keynote.
Opening keynote. To professional speakers. My people. The ones who know exactly when I’m using a callback, why I’ve planted a story, when I’m milking a pause for all it’s worth.
Speaking to your peers is the greatest honour and, let’s be honest, the scariest audience on earth. I’m equal parts thrilled and vibrating with nerves. The stakes are delicious.
I’m sharing “Unlock Your Wild Card: Find your inner crazy!” Offbeat strategies that flip the script, spark electric moments, and make messages land, linger, and be loved. You’ll leave with one bold move to try in your next talk, one line that sticks, and one moment people replay later. Not for the fainthearted. Fun guaranteed.
If you’re in the room, come say hi.
What is your pre-talk ritual when the stakes feel sky high?
