Are you handling any event this weekend as the master of ceremony (MC) or a guest speaker?

Join me, let’s go over the basic preps again.
1. Rehearse Out Loud: Practice your Intro multiple times, paying attention to pacing, clarity, and vocal variety. This strong hook will grab the attention of your audience and keep them engaged.
2. Record yourself delivering the intro and watch it back to identify areas for improvement.
3. Practice in Front of Others: Find a supportive audience, like friends or family, to practice on and receive feedback.
Always remember, no one can do it better than you so once you get up on that stage;
📌 Tame the Nerves: Take deep breaths and visualize success.
📌 Be Yourself: You are the boss; you are in charge. So let your personality shine through.
📌 Speak with so much clarity and loud enough for everyone to hear.
📌 Embrace the stage: Make eye contact with your audience and use confident body language. Check out my video on “Managing Stage Presence and Body Language” 👉 https://youtu.be/iQziMf2xQOA?si=n7cAp7NRZ_wg_U5W
📌 Dress Professionally: You can’t fall short on this one. Project a polished image that reflects the importance of your message.
📌 Arrive Early: Familiarize yourself with the venue and adjust to the environment.
📌 Embrace Mistakes: Don’t panic if you stumble. Acknowledge it briefly, take a breath and continue.
Remember, becoming a confident MC/Speaker takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself, celebrate your progress, and most importantly, have fun with it!
