Welcome to I present my name is Celia Delaney and in this series of videos and exercises, I'm going to take you through lots of tricks and tips about how to be a more inspiring speaker. I'll be particularly focusing on how to engage an audience and all the elements of stagecraft that you might want to know, like, Where do I stand? How do I use notes and slides and what do I do with my hand? Then I'm going to look at things like questions and facilitation and demonstration. These are all higher level skills of speaking that will help you to be far more inspiring and entertaining as a speaker. And we'll have people talking about you long after they've left the auditorium.

So I hope you enjoy these videos and do ask me any questions as we go along. You can get hold of me on my website at Celia delaney.co.uk.
