Tim Davies and a guest share how short speaking slots build confidence. An apprentice landed a job by mentioning he'd pitched to 60 businesses. The guest's 60-second pitch at a networking meeting quieted his nerves and sparked real conversations.
when he applied for his apprentice role that he's in currently, in the interview when he was asked about presenting, he talked about not just presenting but presenting to 60 businesses. Yeah, at a breakfast networking meeting, was able to share about it, and that confidence shines through. Yeah, yeah. But getting to the point of being comfortable speaking is challenging.
Yeah, yeah. I remember my first 60 seconds when I was in my 20s or whatever, my heart was jumping through my chest and it was just crazy. But then I I did one last Tuesday and I just, you know, when I was at this new networking meeting I'm going to, didn't even faze me at all. Didn't even, just stood up and because it was a weird shaped room, I stood up, walked into the center of the room and just spoke for 60 seconds and shared a sales tip with them as well and sat down and a couple of people came over to me afterwards and said, oh, actually, can we have a conversation? Yeah. And that was, yeah, just from doing that.
