The Silver Bullet of Influence | Neil Gordon

How can someone go from making people's eyes glaze over when they start a presentation to having the wrapt attention of an audience and a rush for referrals with just a few hours of work? It's all about finding the silver bullet.My guest Neil Gordon helps speakers and authors become the face of their movement. With years of experience in publishing and a flare for performing arts, he realised that he was able to make a powerful impact with speakers in much less time than it took him to achieve similar results with writers. And so began his professional transformation from a bird of paradise to a chameleon (that will make sense in the episode, I promise).In this episode:The power and draw of mysteryWhy being a competent speaker is no longer good enoughHow to really be memorableHow to find your silver bulletWhat is your public speaking spirit animal?Mastering the first 7 seconds of your talkand more besides.You can find out more about Neil on his website: https://neilcanhelp.com/ where you can also take the quiz to find out your public speaker type.
