In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Warm yourself up for episode eighty-four of The Presentation Boss Podcast! This entire episode was inspired by a single comment Thomas made when he noticed in a business presentation some beautiful slides. Kate inquired what the differences are in the design of average slides compared to awesome slides.

In this episode we cover exactly what those few steps are that you can start doing right now and make sure your slides look different (and better) than the next guy's and have that bonus 'wow factor'!

98. Speech Breakdown: Ignite Talk by Mark Cohen "How to Eat a Banana" 21:33

4 years тому21:33

21:33

Hold on for episode ninety-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Here we're listening to a talk from the internet and pausing as we go to evaluate, make comment and highlight what the presenter does. We're looking at a new type of speech; the Ignite Talk. A 5 minute speech where every 15 seconds the slides (which are prepared by the presenter) automatically advance. And we're familiar with this talk, as Thomas has given one himself. This is a fast-paced style of speaking. And this particular example is a beautiful execution of the style. In fact, it's such a clear message and concise delivery that Thomas and Kate both use the message in their vocabulary and training. And both of them think it's one of their favourite talks of all time. It's not without flaws though, and comments are made about pace and language choices. Lots to learn and listen to here! And spoiler alert, the talk isn't really about eating bananas. Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss What You'll Learn • Exactly what an Ignite Talk is, and that time Thomas presented one too • How opening with a story builds interest and grabs attention • The difference in preparation between a 10-minute talk, and a 5-minute talk • Being careful to align language and humour use to the audience • Use of explicit language in a talk; if and when it is ever appropriate • Why your conclusion should be the most powerful part of your speech, and how.

97. How to Crush Your Fears and Stop Avoiding Speaking Up 17:02

4 years тому17:02

17:02

Let's kick off episode ninety-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast! A few weeks ago, Kate had a conversation at a social function and spoke to two individuals who confessed they avoid speaking and presenting at all costs, even though they know it holds their careers back. Naturally, she asked some deeper questions and found the reasons, fears and excuses they have that have them avoiding speaking up. That list of fears is five common reasons both Kate and Thomas hear frequently. And while they are real in the mind of some people, we know that they are constructs, and sometimes just an excuse. Speaking can be hard, but holding your career back is hard too. Let us help you identify what may be going on in your head and sort out what's real and what's not. In this episode we walk through those five speaking fears, and how to crush them with a little mindset shift. No more avoiding public speaking and presentations; here's the tools to really get you over the hump of sweaty palms and sleepless nights! Show your support for this episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/presentationboss The Five Biggest Fears: 2:11 - "What if I'm not good?" The worry that your audience will judge you and/or you'll look unprofessional. 3:57 - "What if someone criticises me?" The fear that you'll receive negative comments and be made to feel awful. 7:17 - "But it's not necessary for me to speak; I have nothing unique to share" The idea that you need to create new and exciting ideas before you can speak at all. 10:14 - "I'm not at all qualified to speak; what right do I have to take time and attention?" The concern that you're unworthy to share your thoughts and knowledge on a given topic. 12:07 - "What if I go entirely blank when presenting?" The anxiety around not knowing how to ensure your talk is clear enough in your mind.

It's a battle on misinformation in episode ninety-four The Presentation Boss Podcast! Kate and Thomas hear a lot of advice about speaking. Some of it is awesome. Some of it is average. And some of it is between entirely wrong and toxic. No doubt this advice and ideas are shared with the best of intent and comes from the right place, but we just know it to be wrong and unfortunately, unhelpful to recipients. So, in this episode, we list the five scariest myths when it comes to speaking and presentations and discuss why they don't work. And we also discuss the best alternatives you should be doing instead. And we totally have a good giggle along the way; this is a fun episode!

Prepare for discussions on episode ninety-two of The Presentation Boss Podcast. In this episode, Kate and Thomas take a look at a TED Talk all about persuasion in presentations - yes it is a bit meta, but we love the double-whammy of knowledge you'll see here. There is a lot to learn here, from excellent use of visuals, careful placement of humour and of course, how to be more persuasive in your communication. While Kate introduces a numerical rating system here, Thomas disagrees with the idea that this talk uses vocabulary that is less accessible than it could be. The simple message however, is clear and well communicated. These are the talks we love to see - great examples of presentations with discussion evolving from what we see and hear.

Set sail for episode ninety-one of The Presentation Boss Podcast! Kate and Thomas had a conversation about what makes a great speaker. And eventually agreed that there are a number of exercises they each consciously implemented (some many years ago) that became habits and have definitely improved their skills. In all the guest interviews, these same or similar habits have been mentioned too. It's clear then, that even when not speaking, there are habits you could develop in this new year that would make you a more confident and comfortable presenter - no matter your skill level. There's five suggestions in this episode. All are simple to implement. And honestly, doing any of them imperfectly would be a great start to building the habit and becoming a better presenter. We know though, with a little conscious effort and discipline, they'll become an easy habit that is forever improving in the background. What's not to love!?

It was a massive year for The Presentation Boss Podcast and we're talking all about it in episode eighty-nine today. It's convenient, as hindsight is always twenty-twenty! Kate and Thomas sat down to reflect on the year behind us, how the business changed, what the weekly podcast achieved and where we've pointed for the next twelve months.

We explain exactly what fueled that and what it has meant for you listening to the podcast • The world's biggest working from home experiment affected us too, and while online isn't the same as in-person, it gave us all a new skill and we share exactly how it's best leveraged • What we have planned for the year ahead, both for this podcast and in the business.

It's summer holidays on Episode eighty-eight of The Presentation Boss Podcast. In our last episode, we shared our best techniques for kids to get going with their public speaking. Today we chose to double-down by breaking down a TED Talk delivered by a child. And then we tripled down as we have Kate's eldest daughter, Felicity age 6 also in the studio to share her thoughts of the talk too. Our first ever break-down guest! We know one of the best ways to become a better speaker is to watch other speakers. And today's talk is short, super sweet and simple but still displays some of the core foundations of what makes a great talk. Plus we get to hear the insights from Felicity on what her young mind sees when she watches this TED Talk. Prepare to learn all about sea lions, protecting sea mammals and a lovely metaphor for turning a bad experience into positive action. All from a speaker aged just 8 years old. Should be a quick and easy listen while you enjoy your end of year break! And yes, Thomas knows he accidentally called this episode 89 in the recording.

It's the end of the year for episode eighty-seven of The Presentation Boss Podcast! And with the world population of kids and students home for the holidays, Kate and Thomas figure it might be a good time to share the basics to help them get ahead in their speaking skills. The newest generation has such an advantage as they grow up in this connected world, but presentation and public speaking skills are just as critical, if not moreso than ever. And already, Kate is seeing how education around speaking is changing with her first-grader. Here's what two millennials wish they knew when they were the age that Gen-Z is now. Kate and Thomas could not have had more different experiences in early life with speaking, which they share in this episode. Then cover the methods that are worth practicing to build the confidence and foundations for future speaking brilliance. Kids who speak better become adults who speak brilliantly.
