In this episode, I delve into the world of communication with Ruth Milligan, a seasoned executive speech coach and trainer. This conversation unpacks the nuances of effective verbal communication, highlighting the importance of crafting messages that resonate with audiences. Ruth shares the story of how a rainy evening led her to discover TED Talks and eventually host the first TEDx Columbus event, propelling her career into a new and exciting direction. Ruth discusses the transformative power of public speaking and the often-overlooked aspects that elevate an ordinary speech to an exceptional one. From tackling “shaded habits” that detract from message delivery to underscoring the need for audience-centered storytelling, Ruth emphasises the essentials of structured thinking in communication. We also explore how leaders can improve their team dynamics and make impactful pitches, particularly when dealing with high-stakes contracts or when addressing thousands at conferences. This episode is a must listen if you are committed to improving your speaking skills.
