Move the Room
Seven Secrets of Extraordinary Speakers
Powerful speaking is a force multiplier. When you combine high-calibre speaking with any other skill, the multiplying force of the impact you can have is profound. That impact can not only help you close a deal, galvanize a team, or shift how you’re perceived, it can be the catalyst that helps put your dent in the universe. Presentation coach and Podium Consulting founder Trevor Currie calls it “moving the room.”
Move the Room is a practical playbook of approaches you can apply instantly to elevate and amplify your speaking. Beyond just theory, you’ll learn how to:
- Prepare, frame, and deliver engaging communication that transforms functional talking points into unforgettable storytelling
- Effectively integrate compelling visuals into your presentation
- Master your nerves before and during a presentation
- Respond to tough post-presentation questions from your audience
These are real-world best practices and actionable methods designed to amplify your speaking power and put you in demand.
Woven into these techniques are insights gleaned from Currie’s analysis of 100 of the most watched TED talks, as well as his own personal observations and examples, extracted from almost twenty-five years of preparing national and global leaders for career-defining keynotes and presentations.
Move the Room breaks new ground for professionals wanting to strengthen their leadership impact. If you want to compound your success and confidence, Move the Room just became your next must-read book.
