I want to thank you for taking this class on public speaking for women. The fact that you've gotten here so far puts you way ahead, not only of other women, but of almost all the other men in your organization because most men and most women don't take public speaking seriously. They figure I'll just wing it. I'll just have somebody create the slides and I'll look at the slide deck a few minutes before and now you know, there'll be no problem. And then they deliver a boring data dump. Nobody's fired for it.
But nobody really remembers anything. That person said you now have the secrets. The secrets to actual communication. You know how to look your best sound your best come across comfortable, confident, shape a message. illustrate that message with very, very specific stories, case studies examples. You've got the skills you need to have Outline so that you can deliver the speech with absolute confidence and not be seen as someone dependent on notes or reading or having to stare at the bullet points.
You've got the skills you need, because of that people are going to remember your message and take the actions you want. This is going to be great for your career. And it's going to be great for life too, because there's so many opportunities in life when you can speak. And you now can really distinguish yourself and not speak as well as a man, but speak Far, far better than almost every man, you know, he's not better than every man, you know. Because, as I said in the very first lesson, most speakers are awful. And most people just don't work at it.
If they do work at it, they'd work the wrong way, gathering more data, trying to memorize rearranging bullet points on PowerPoint, complete, utter waste of time. This is an area where you can distinguish yourself for the rest of your career, and sexism and sexist ideas and gender specific ideas can't hurt you. Maybe it can hurt you when the CEO is trying to decide who's perfect for the force of this weekend. But when people are listening to 10 executives from your organization, and the first nine are boring and awful, and you're actually interesting, and engaging and passionate, with your message and memorable, you're going to win that competition every single time as the best communicator. Thanks for joining me. And I hope to see you on the platform and on the stage.
