Programme note
Aristotle named three ways a speaker wins a room: ethos, pathos and logos. Each one has a monster guarding it.

The Clarity Monster thinks: So basically… what I mean is…
The Engagement Monster thinks: Is everyone on their phone?

The Confidence Monster
Curls up and hides right before you speak. Shaky voice, racing heart, and a head full of “they’ll see I’m nervous”.
Act II · Logosreason
The Clarity Monster
Ties your message in knots. Ten points and no point, and an audience that can’t follow the thread.
Act III · Pathosemotion
The Engagement Monster
Falls asleep on the mic stand and takes the audience with it. Flat voice, no eye contact, and slides doing all the talking.
Every speaker has monsters.
Learn to tame yours.
