‘Use humour to get people onside’ - vivgroskop and HeatherMcG_EBS shared five secrets of good public speaking when they came on bbcwomanshour earlier in the week. Read their helpful advice here:
Theresa May has made £1million so far giving speeches on the lecture circuit since she stood down as Prime Minister in 2019, according to the House of Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
BBC Radio 4's Woman’s Hour spoke to Professor Heather McGregor, Executive Dean of Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University and Viv Groskop, comedian and author of How to Own the Room, to hear their tips.“I've talked to Mary Portas and Professor Mary Beard about this...and both of them said that as a woman...if you can use humour, you immediately get more people onside,” says author and comedian Viv Groskop.
“I really learnt my craft when I had to go and do stand up comedy...and that is a school of hard knocks. A place where people didn't necessarily listen to you. They did walk out. They didn't always respond positively to you. And they haven't come necessarily there to hear you. So if you can hold people's attention by making a joke, laughing at yourself, referring back to something you've said earlier...I think that is very important.
