She discusses the role public speaking, pitching and presenting has played in the different areas she has worked and explains why we should all be developing our skills in public speaking as it is an element woven throughout our daily lives.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Public speaking isn’t just standing in front of others. There are multiple interactions throughout a business day that involve presenting and pitching. It’s always about the preparation it’s a key element in any situation. You need to know about your subject because there are always things out of your control but being prepared is within your control. You should be authentic and bring yourself to any public speaking. If you deliver what you say you are going to and have previous achievements behind you have credibility with others. Trying to put yourself in the shoes of the other person is very helpful in understanding how you and your pitch will be perceived. Being of service is everything and selling is serving. You need to understand the benefits of your product or service and how it can help someone else. Education is key its always about wanting to be better. You are always presenting and always selling whatever the situation you are in,  it’s a  life skill set everyone should be developing.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve been presenting and public speaking throughout my whole career without realising’ ‘I regularly suffered from imposter syndrome’ ‘Surround yourself with people who will support and inspire you and put the work in’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Jeannette Linfoot Associates   ABOUT THE GUEST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality and property sectors.
