À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode, we're joined by the brilliant Vimla Appadoo, a speaker, service designer and culture consultant who quiets crowds with her open and vulnerable approach to public speaking.
We discuss the importance of building a strong company culture and the challenges of scaling up while maintaining diverse and independent team cultures.
Vimla shares her journey from being an introvert to becoming a public speaker and as ever, we ask her to offer her tips for other speakers and event organizers.
Takeaways
Building a strong company culture is crucial for scaling up and maintaining diverse team cultures.
Speakers should find their own way of delivering and talking authentically, rather than relying on a script.
Event organizers should provide clear instructions and information about the setup, timing, and other speakers.
The timing and dynamics of different speaking slots, as well as the presence of a green room and opportunities to meet other speakers, can greatly impact the speaker's experience.
Engendering emotions in an audience requires giving them a way to resolve those emotions and providing actionable takeaways.
