Of all the different forms of marketing and communications, public speaking builds the most trust and credibility in the shortest amount of time.

Some people love it. Some people hate it. Whatever the case is for you, the chances are you're already doing it and you're doing it more than you think. It might be in small ways and to only a few people, but however you do it, public speaking is simply about sharing a message and delivering it really well.

My guest in today's podcast is public speaker extraordinaire, Kayla Conley. Kayla has been public speaking since she was 10 years old (it's a fascinating story) and she's been a member of Toastmasters for 11 years.

In this episode, I get Kayla to share her top tips on how to connect with your audience, how to structure a short talk to give at a local networking event and the things you need to do in order to make the best possible impression.

However much or little experience you have with public speaking, you're bound to pick up a tidbit or two. In fact, you might find it interesting as you listen to this podcast to pay attention to how Kayla uses stories as part of the conversation. She's really, really good at sharing stories, which is a mark of a great speaker.
