How To Make Your Presenters Shine In The Virtual World

 

Underwhelmed by the presenters at your sales kick-off? Was your normally charismatic CEO less than dynamic during her speech to your investors? Are you wishing the public speaking skills of your engineers matched their hands-on brilliance during your recent user conference?

Going virtual means even the best presenters need some help to be engaging. We caught up with our go-to Communications and Performance Coach Kelsey Crouch to find out her secrets for guiding presenters to success in the world of virtual events. Without an engaging presentation, your audience is going to tune out or click away.

Kennedy Events has worked with Kelsey for years on live events; turning to her time and time again when we need that extra something to ensure engaging content for our clients’ events. In this video, Kelsey shares her top pro-tips for getting the best from your speakers—even from a little laptop screen. 

According to Kelsey, the presenter is responsible for creating an experience for their audience and this video shows you how to let them shine. During the conversation with KE Partner Maggie Kennedy, you’ll learn:

  • How to successfully use body language within the confines of your camera frame. (Spoiler alert: it’s not the same as on stage.) 

  • How to speak to a faceless audience

  • Lessons from Kelsey’s lessons from Broadway actors

  • The three pillars of a great speech: Content, Delivery, and... 

If you want to ensure your next virtual event is engaging—and attendees don’t tune out, Kennedy Events can help you uncover surprise areas to elevate both your brand and your event. From polished presentations to virtual social engagements, we can lead your virtual event to success.
