Linda Larsen, CSP, CPAE

Take a Page from the Broadway Playbook.

Professional theater producers, directors, writers, actors, technical and creative teams have very clear objectives when they open a show. They want a block-buster hit that garners rave reviews, runs for a long time and makes lots of money. And doesn’t that sound like something that we, as professional speakers, also aspire to? 

As a veteran, classically trained, card-carrying actor, Linda is excited to share the techniques and strategies that successful theater people use that are directly applicable to our work as speakers. These are techniques that can help you create deeply engaging, compelling and memorable presentations and set you apart from other great speakers, and will keep you working for a long time.

During this session you will learn:

1. A new and empowering definition of a speech that will dramatically shift the audience’s level of engagement in what you are doing and saying
2. A brilliant technique that will enable you to be exponentially more authentic and spontaneous
3. Strategies to help you effectively memorize your script, if and when you determine you need to.
4. Specific methods to help you deliver a memorized script, such that it never ever appears “memorized.” 
5. How to know if what you think you sound and look like – is actually what you sound and look like.
