Episode 505 - Speaking success with Alex Merry
From The Extraordinary Business Book Club · 32:38
Show by Alison Jones
' Reps can help you improve your ability to speak, and you can be the person creating those reps.' If you're seeking success as a speaker, what does that mean to you? Perfectly polished delivery, Big, flashy stages? Alex Merry sees his job as helping founders unlock the true potential of their ideas, and as part of that he brings speakers at all stages of the journey into community in MicDrop. He has a more intentional, strategic approach to defining success as a speaker. In fact, turns out some of the most commercially powerful speaking opportunities happen in very ordinary rooms, with a relatively small number of exactly the right people. We talk about the beautiful overlap between books and speaking, why the two work together so synergistically, and how being in community with the right people can supercharge success in both. We also talk about the importance of doing all of this in public, testing your ideas, learning to communicate the same message in a million different ways. A practical and energising conversation about speaking, writing, business development, community, and why success might be different to - and so much achievable than - your assumptions.
