Ask most speakers which slot theyโ€™d like at a conference or event; chances are theyโ€™ll want one of the prestige slots like โ€˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆโ€™.ย  ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—œโ€™๐—บ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€. I donโ€™t believe I have the right to be heard; I believe I have to earn it.

Instead, I customise my content for each audience, which means no two presentations I do are ever the same. Iโ€™ll try to find things that will resonate with ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต audience on ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต day. But tailoring content alone isnโ€™t enough. To keep my audience engaged, I need to read the room while presenting and respond accordingly. If the energy is low, itโ€™s my responsibility to lift it. If the tech fails, the show must go on. Which means thereโ€™s no such thing as an easy slot. And while a hungry, tired or food-coma-suffering audience might be a tougher crowd, my challenge remains the same. If Iโ€™m being hired to speak, Iโ€™ve got to be able to cope with whatever happens. ๐—ฆ๐—ผ, ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ด๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜€๐—น๐—ผ๐˜, ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ; ๐—œโ€™๐—น๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” โœจ I'm Christian.

It's always risky just to turn up, present, then leave - without any context that could help ensure you might build on rather than duplicate the efforts of others. It's worth getting the complete agenda in advance, looking at the summaries of other speakers, asking for an attendees list with roles, even using LinkedIn for more research. If I'm standing up after lunch I'll often sit in on the last session before lunch, even attend lunch where attendees will offer honest comments on what it's like so far. All useful for customising your content in flight - whatever pre-prepared powerpoint you might have I wont name names but I often presented after someone who would deliberately lay traps with the audience including 'if someone says xxx then that's clearly untrue because'. These traps would often cause the audience to laugh unexpectedly when a speaker said his normal quote! Of course I'm not actually a professional trainer, so I use these techniques elsewhere in life too - turning up early for board meetings, chatting over a pre-coffee, staying later to wrap up with colleagues, while others might arrive and leave in a big hurry, missing out on the real value of people.. If it isn't rewarding and enjoyable, why do it? #boards

I love having the post lunch spot. This is were you can see the impact and influence in your audience the most. Getting them hooked and engaged despite the food coma is the real challenge ๐Ÿ™Œ

I had this spot at New Employee Orientation for years and while I failed miserably at first, I eventually did all the things you mentioned, and can attest that it absolutely works! After the first year, they gave me a better spot, but then moved me back to after lunch to keep up the energy in the room. I took it as a compliment.

Christian Hunt good post. Totally agree, you have to respect your audience and deliver them something they can value. Each session must be relevant, topical and stimulating. Treat a tough slot as an opportunity to win some minds.

A good presentation can be like dessert! ๐Ÿฐ It's the speaker's responsibility to catch the audience with snackable content - no matter the time of day. But that is something you always deliver in your presentations! #ComplianceSugarHigh
