5 Things Most Women Do When Speaking (That Most Men Speakers Don’t)
We’ve all been to those events where the speaker is solid, but something’s missing. Then a woman takes the stage, and BOOM. The energy shifts. The room leans in. The mic might as well be on fire.
It’s not a competition… but if it were, these are the 5 things women speakers consistently do that most men just don’t (yet).
#1 “Emotional Rollercoaster Rides: Buckle Up, Buttercups!”
Forget stoicism and maintaining a poker face. Women speakers are unapologetically in touch with their emotions, and they’re not afraid to let them show. One moment, they’re cracking jokes that have the audience in stitches, and the next, they’re sharing heartfelt anecdotes that bring tears to everyone’s eyes. It’s like navigating a sea of emotions, with them at the helm, steering the ship with unwavering confidence.
#2: “Accessorizing the Stage: Because Why Blend In?”
When it comes to setting the stage, women speakers have a knack for turning it into their own personal runway. While men might opt for a simple podium, women bring out the big guns – literally. From colorful lighting to statement jewelry that could rival the Crown Jewels, they know how to accessorize the stage like it’s a TED Talk fashion show. Who needs boring slides when you’ve got sparkly earrings, right?
#3: “Power of Multitasking: Speech, Juggle, Repeat!”
While men might take a linear approach to speaking, women are masters of multitasking. Picture this: They’re delivering a powerful Signature Talk while seamlessly juggling a thousand other things, adjusting the microphone, asking engaging questions, and subtly reminding the AV guy to cue the next song. It’s like watching a TED Talk and a Cirque du Soleil performance all rolled into one.
#4: “Fostering Sisterhood: Enter for the Speech, Stay for the Bond!”
When booking speaking engagements, women are clear winners because they have a special talent for creating a sense of sisterhood among their audience members. Whether it’s through shared experiences, captivating content, or just a knowing glance, they forge connections that go beyond the stage. It’s like being part of an exclusive club where the only membership requirement is watching them speak.
#5: “The Art of the Mic Drop: Making an Exit, One Mic at a Time”
Last but not least, women speakers have perfected the art of the mic drop – metaphorically speaking, of course. As they deliver their Signature Talk closing remarks with passion and conviction, there’s a certain finesse to the way they emotionally punctuate their message. It’s not just about dropping the mic; it’s about leaving a lasting impression that reverberates long after the applause has died down.
Men can absolutely be brilliant speakers. But women we just take it to another level!
