How to Write A Conference Talk

Some can initially win a room by sheer personality.

→ Raw confidence
→ Natural humor
→ Good looking

People will often mention these speakers after:

→ “Have you heard of her before?”
→ “She was the funny one!”
→ “He was so cool!”

But though they MAY remember the SPEAKER…

…here’s what they DON’T remember:

👉🏻 The talk itself. 👈🏻

But why??

Because people with magnetic personalities often have strong stage presence, but write sloppy talks.

They get used to phoning it in because they can get away with it.

→ But they rarely make a lasting difference.

At the same time, many people with middle of the road personalties, can make a massive impact.

It all comes down to the talk itself.

Great talks are great,
even if the speaker isn’t a superstar persona.

People may not remember their charisma,
but they will remember the content.

So:

😎 If you’re a cool kid, fine. → Still focus on content.

🤓 If you’re a nerd, also fine. → Same advice to you.

And when I say content…

I mean specifically the craft of writing a killer talk:

→ Analogies & stories people never forget
→ An outline that is easy to follow and deliver
→ Hooks that work without leaning on charisma
→ Pain points woven into every section of the talk
→ One-liners your audience will quote back to you

Focus on content. Everything else falls into place.
