[EMILY EDGELEY That CyberSec Public Speaking Coach @Emily_Edgeley]

If you’re new to the Tech / Security industry, don’t fall into the trap of believing you’re not adding value.

Remember you’re giving people the gift of a fresh & unique perspective and new ideas.

A lot of times that’s just what’s required to generate change or traction.

@HoESpeaks Hello @HoESpeaks, I agree!

What are the the top 3 other things than public speaking in Toastmasters for you?

[Toast of the Wild East @ToastWild]

@fruitbowlmedia Even if you can't see them well on the camera - the person/people still are on the other side. Don't talk as if there was nobody on the other side.

Ask rhetorical questions. Pause.

Did that explanation help?

[Toast of the Wild East @ToastWild]

@fruitbowlmedia People doing a "pitch" often have a tendency to speak in a more formal, "presentation" mode. It is better to tune it down and be conversational.

Talking to a screen may be tiring - but you will improve your chances by adding a bit of enthusiasm.

@justlikedoodle "A picture says more than a thousand words..." - or maybe that's not what the comic strip was supposed to say :)

@geriwithetc @Toastmasters19 That's a great observation, @geriwithetc!

We listen better when we have a task to understand.

By the way - this is a very clever Toastmasters trick.

Why is it that everyone at a Toastmasters meeting is so engaged? It's because almost everyone has a role in the meeting.
