In this episode, Mitch Matthews tackles a powerful question from a fellow Encouraging the Encouragers listener:
“I'm excited! I've just sold my first big keynote... but I'm nervous about remembering all of it! What are your tips for remembering it all?”
Whether you're prepping for your first paid keynote or looking to feel more at ease on stage, Mitch shares 4 proven strategies to help you deliver your talk with clarity and confidence — without having to memorize a script word for word.
From embracing a "flow-focused" mindset to creating your own version of a “Woobie” (aka your speaker security blanket), this episode is packed with practical tools and encouragement to help you stay present, have fun, and bless the room.
What You'll Learn:
Why practicing the flow beats memorizing the script
How to use a printed outline — your trusty “Woobie” — to stay on track
Ways to engage the audience and use the room to your advantage
The magic of “home base moments” and core stories to guide your talk
How being real > being perfect on stage (yep, even if your pants rip 😄)
