Podcasts - Maryanne Johnston

I have produced 3 seasons of podcasts to support and revisit key areas from my face-to-face sessions. Please click on the links below to listen or to download. I hope you find them useful.

Season 1: What is an Agile Speaker? (5 episodes)

I believe that presenting confidently and naturally is a science that anyone can learn and indeed become agile with. In this season, I share tips and techniques on how to remain in control and come across as relaxed and natural in what can be an unnatural situation.
Season 2: The Elevator Pitch (4 episodes)

The high-stakes game of the Elevator Pitch: it’s something we’re all doing frequently but it can be hard to get it right.
Whether it’s at a conference, an exhibition stand or a dinner party, we use the Elevator Pitch formally and informally so it’s important to make it work for your audience and work for you.
Season 3: Video Conferencing - from logistics to delivery (3 episodes)

In this collaboration with Colin Gray’s Podcraft, we give you simple, practical advice and ideas to support you through this new way of working.
