Decoding content mastery with two sensational speakers
Being a great speaker is more than having one tried and tested, static speech. As professional speakers we are always growing and developing and so too is our content, our craft and our audience impact.
So how do each of us develop our speeches? How do we push ourselves to the next level of greatness? What do we do to continually improve our presentations? I’m glad you asked!
Join us as the inimitable Darren Hill and our (co-) Breakthrough Speaker of the Year, Tracey Ezard CSP, take us behind the scenes of various segments of their keynote. With each segment we’ll have the opportunity to unpack their thinking - what choices they faced, what considerations they took into account, and how the piece has evolved over time.
In this session you will:
- Learn how the best speakers keep their content fresh and fabulous
- Understand different strategies for evolving content
- Be inspired to refresh your own piece of content for 2023/24
About Darren Hill
With a client book of Fortune 500 and ASX Top-20 companies, Darren Hill is one of Australia's most in-demand strategists whose culture change programs have rolled out across PepsiCo, Laminex, REST super, Suncorp Bank and the Australian Federal Government to name a few.
Rather than simply teach theory to his client base, Darren has also founded and built a company, Pragmatic Thinking, that listed 3 consecutive years on the Australian Financial Review FAST 100 : so it’s probably fair to say Darren knows a thing or two about business success and the role that leadership and culture play in achieving it.
Darren's a best-selling author whose work has appeared regularly across the Fairfax Group (including the SMH & The Age), News Limited and is a return guest on The Today Show and Sky Business News for his views on business leadership and workplace culture.
Equally comfortable delivering keynotes to thousands of people, deep strategy work at a board level or delivering world-class virtual experiences, Darren’s clients consistently describe him as grounded and refreshingly real – something that’s reflected by his ongoing re-engagement rate with clients nearing 100%.
Darren was inducted into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame being awarded the 2018 Educator of the Year…an impressive feat given his handwriting is harder to read than Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
