Public Speaking
Supercharge Your Presence
March 2019
In this presentation, Daniel Wendler, MA, and Kyler Shumway, MA, discuss how to become a public speaker as a mental health professional. This dynamic duo has spoken at national conferences all over the U.S. on the topics of autism, friendship, bullying, and technology.
Wendler and Shumway believe that, just as Robert Bjork, PhD, declared in 1991, our field must continue to "give psychology away"— and public speaking is an excellent way to do so.
Learn the following:
- Why speaking is essential for supercharging your online presence
- Overcoming speaking anxiety and finding your voice
- How to find and land speaking gigs
- Techniques for translating "psychojargon" for lay audiences
- Hacks for improving your public speaking ability
