The attributes of an effective and memorable keynote speaker

When choosing a keynote speaker it’s important to consider the way they’re going to engage the audience.

A good keynote speaker knows how to make their presentation engaging and informative by building on a vast skillset of advanced presentation skills techniques, as well as understanding how to structure the content so it has….

The right amount of relevant stories to illustrate the overall message
The right amount of information so the audience understands how to implement the suggested changes, and are motivated to take action
The right amount of information so the audience stays interested but are not overwhelmed
The right amount of appropriate humour to keep the audience engaged
Managing the energy with interactivity so the audience is comfortable
The right way to present it so it’s understood by the different learning styles
Satisfying the client’s brief by making sure the content and style hit the target
Adhering to time – Professional keynote speakers respect the time frame allotted (Conference Speaker )
How to carefully structure, blend and apply all of these techniques throughout the whole presentation so the audience remembers

Once all of these skill sets and techniques are blended together and presented well, the audience will be talking about the presentation long after the keynote speaker has left the stage.

David Julian Price is a professional speaker with runs on the board, and he ticks all of these requirements.

A memorable keynote is not just about the content.

He knows how to wake up the audience and how to keep them awake with effective communication techniques honed over 35+ years as a professional keynote speaker and speaking coach. His complementary skills as a facilitator for strategic meetings and impartial chair add to the depth of understanding he brings to the platform or breakout group.

This all adds up to a leadership keynote presentation style which adds depth to your conference outcomes.

What exactly is a leadership style keynote? It’s where many years of experience in different, complementing genres enhance one another to give more leverage.

David Julian Price’s keynotes and presentations are….

Interactive – The audience is involved in an appropriate way so that they’re energized and engaged. It could be a 20 second illustration or a 12 minute story. He senses what the audience needs and knows how to lift it when the energy is low, or slow it down if that’s what’s needed. David is not afraid to leave the stage and move among the audience to build interaction.

Engaging – David Price is often booked for the after-lunch graveyard shift as he has the reputation of keeping the audience awake.

Streetwise – the content is real, streetwise and practical. He knows what the challenges are for the audience and he’s not afraid to tackle the elephant in the room, and there nearly always is one. For example – Covid, or the challenges of virtual communication.

Uplifting – There’s humour with nothing inappropriate. There’s inspiration but no fluff. There’s always lots of laughter during one of David’s presentations. There’s a reason David’s catchphrase is…. ”You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, you’ll learn some more.”

Respectful – David never sets out to embarrass anyone. That’s not his style nor his intention. When he is telling stories, he always shines a light on the positives and never identifies negative sources.

Expanding – He actively stretches the minds of the participants by involving them by asking relevant questions and running with the issues they bring up. He is able to harness the audience’s energy whilst containing where it goes, just as he does when facilitating ideation or strategic meetings.

Flexible – His keynotes, breakouts and presentations are always designed and structured well, but if it’s obvious the audience’s energy is going in one direction which is different to the intended plan, David can shift gears to suit. Sometimes there are questions that the audience asks that cannot be left unanswered.

Inclusive – Part of the keynote experience for attendees happens long before David even steps on stage. Networking before the event, as well as being aware of interactions during the event, are tapped into. Relevant conversations or comments made by the group are remembered and stored in his memory bank, and when the appropriate time is right, they’re incorporated into the presentation so the audience feels included.
Storytelling – To make a point crystal clear, David tells stories as this gives instant clarity. If it’s a positive story he will name the organisation. If it’s negative they won’t be named. His style is to build people up and give positive role models that the audience can relate to and apply to their own lives and work.
