A blog with valuable free presentation skills tips from a busy expert public speaker, radio comedy writer, speechwriter and trainer
"This is an unusual blog; the art of public speaking is crucial to politics and yet there's not much devoted to it specifically. This blog does, with posts combining accounts of the writer's recent engagements with some handy hints. Given some of the turgid speeches we're forced to suffer in the Commons, more MPs could do with reading it". politics.co.uk Subscribe Share/Save/Bookmark Nick R Thomas's Facebook profile "Nick spoke at our joint meeting with Kingston 41 Club. It was a brilliant evening. Nick is an engaging speaker, witty, topical and very interesting. He spoke for three quarters of an hour without notes, a most knowledgeable man. I cannot recommend Nick enough and can assure you that engaging him is a worthwhile endeavour. I wish you a great evening like ours". Manny Martins Vice Chairman of Hamble Valley Stick Club and 41 Club Regional Councillor, Region 24. "Your speech to our 9 Rotary Clubs in North Surrey was much appreciated by me and I have received lots of feedback which was very positive about you. It was so refreshing to hear someone who has the wit to make us laugh throughout the evening without resort to 'blue' material and swearing. I do hope many others will get the chance to experience your talents". Howard Smith, Assistant Governor Area 1 Rotary District 1140. BlogWithIntegrity.com Speaking Pro Central

Re: Don't become an institutionalised public speaker!
by Olivia Mitchell
Hi Nick. Thought-provoking post. If you only speak at Toastmasters clubs, you tend to always speak in the same "Toastmaster-style" which is more performance than conversation. When I started speaking in the real world, I had to break many of my speaking habits. The major thing for me was starting to relate individually to people in my audience rather than just seeing them as one big group. Olivia
