"Talk at a tech conference? But what would I talk about?"

I am shortlisted to be a #Keynote speaker at a big #WordPress #TechConference. The organizers still need my pitch.

I had a rough idea of the theme, but I was feeling fuzzy about the actual topic.

So I took my own "Finding A Topic" workshop. Yes, the one I've facilitated 99 times.

And… wow. Not only did my topic click, but a few deeper pieces of my story emerged. 💖💖

I am feeling excited!

Three common mistakes I’ve seen #FOSS people and other #introverted geeks make in #PublicSpeaking…well, as an introverted #FreeSoftware geek myself, these also things I have to keep in mind when I speak.

Slow…down. Speak at a consistent, slow speed. This ensures people don’t miss things, you get time to think, and people get time to absorb the information.

Speak loudly. There’s a limit to how much the microphone will do for you. Sometimes you won’t even have a microphone (e.g. when hosting outdoor #OpenStreetMap mapping parties) - learn to make yourself heard without one.

Don’t trail off. End your sentences with a consistent volume and pitch.

So how slow, and how loud? In a lot of cases I’d say WAY slower than what you call slow, and WAY louder than what you call loud 😅

There’s more, but this is the foundation of any talk. The best content in the world means nothing if it doesn’t actually reach your audience.

A lot of this is useful in everyday life too. Start practicing! 🙂
