FINAL WRAP-UP & 1 INSIGHT
WHAT HAPPENED?
1 week ago I organised an offline storytelling night where speakers from 6 countries delivered their stories of personal and professional change in Pecha Kucha 20x20 format. Speakers - entrepreneurs & bloggers - shared their stories of change over 20 slides, under 20 seconds each. The speakers are from the USA, Greece, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, China, and Vietnam.
Speakers noted that the time constraint helped them to stick to the main story arc and keep engaging the audience.
You can watch their stories in my YouTube channel.
1 INSIGHT
Last week in this post I asked you: "Who's a good speaker? How can you tell one?"
Gleb Godunov and I talked this over in a Pitch Up club's meeting. As we were discussing what really makes a good speaker, we got rid of quite a few initial hunches: a smart person, charismatic, has good knowledge on the subject... All of that helps, of course, but doesn't guarantee your being a good speaker.
We reached a conclusion: a good speaker is a person who is...
ðŦ§ easy to follow AND/OR
ðŦ§ entertaining
People love either having fun or digesting info easily. If you help them with at least 1 point - you're a good speaker. Or, you may be smart, knowledgeable, have a great accent, grammar, and vocabulary, but - alas, reach neither of these goals.

Remember last July I published a post on "The Velvet Sundown," a viral AI band that wasn't?
Back then, the topic gave rise to a Speaking Plan that S2S users enjoyed discussing and learning vocabulary from. You can access it in the Notion doc.
Now, as I met Oli, a musician from the UK in Da Nang at the Lunar New Year Party, I couldn't pass a chance to ask him what he thinks about AI, the future of the music industry, and other uncomfortable topics.
Soon it became obvious that the conversation was getting too interestimg to be kept private. So we recorded it for you!
ðđ Watch the Interview with Oli on YouTube. The format came out to be a rare mix of a learning material for advanced learners and a lively uncensored chat. Let me know if you have any questions I should pass to Oli!
ðAs was announced in this post, until March,3 I'm pushing to get 1K suvs which will make it possible to keep and grow the channel. Bring +1 here to make it possible.
