An artist, the painter, an author can be world-famous on his or her own, not a leader or entrepreneur.” - Hermann Simon “Stories are moments of emotion with a lesson that can help us all… It could do many things. It could build a brand, it could build credibility, and it also really helps the connection.” - Peter Hopwood Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ (http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/)  Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/) Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/)

Can creating a connection happen on a whim? It may not work out that way at all. Preparation is still key. In this episode, Denis and Peter tackle the importance of storytelling and establishing a connection by using the right words, tones, and approach to effectively convey our message. Peter Hopwood is a British Global Speaker Coach, Virtual Speaking Specialist & TEDx Coach, Storytelling for Sales Trainer, Worldwide Corporate Events MC & Speaker - lived in 7 countries, worked in 42, currently based in Split, Croatia - working worldwide on Zoom!  Tune in as Denis and Peter discuss the impact of storytelling as leaders navigate their way to success and better positioning. In this episode: Peter discusses how he got into leadership and communication, his work as a speaker coach, and how leaders can connect with their audiences. Being animated and having gestures helps to show that you are more confident and in control. The way we speak and how we look will influence the way that people think about us. Peter emphasizes the importance of spontaneity in audio productions, which can be difficult to achieve with recorded messages. Curiosity is a key ingredient for a successful relationship with someone. When we are curious about someone, we are more likely to connect with them and feel comfortable around them. Leaders should use storytelling to engage their audiences and communicate their messages more effectively. Stories are an important way to connect with others, build credibility, and strengthen the connection between people. Good connectors are aware of their surroundings and manage to connect with others through body language, facial expressions, and other signals. Key Takeaways: Take advantage of gestures when speaking to provide emphasis How you present yourself matters in people's minds Remain spontaneous even when doing recordings Stay curious and authentic when communicating with others Leaders should utilize the power of storytelling for effective communication Tweetable Quotes: “It [effective speaking] is about the signals that you share, making sure that things are moving, there's something changing, there's something that's going to stimulate the brain… Anything predictable is not good.” - Peter Hopwood “When we know our intention, it's so much easier to share it.” - Peter Hopwood “It [creating connection] is something that we do constantly every day. So, why not say to ourselves, ‘I'm going to get really good at this. I can practice this every day.' “ - Peter Hopwood Connect with Peter onhttps://www.facebook.com/hermann.simon.50 ( )https://www.instagram.com/peterhopwood/ (Instagram) andhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/peterhopwoodpublicspeaking/ ( LinkedIn), follow him on https://twitter.com/HopwoodMedia (Twitter), and check out hishttp://peter-hopwood.com/ ( website).

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Peter Hopwood, Global Speaker Coach & TEDx Coach / International Pitch Coach / Storytelling for Sales / Virtual Speaking Specialist. Peter shares some insights into speaking, mindset and behaviours and the skills that are needed to build trust with people through the way that you talk. KEY TAKEAWAYSPeople may still appreciate you even though they may not show it. Somebody who really tries to listen well – not just to how you're showing up, but to how others are reacting – you can get a feeling of if you're sharing value or not. Don't always look for the ‘likes', you know if you're giving value, or helping people, or not. Trying to get away from the ‘like' mentality is a good thing.Helping people to show up well is essentially what I do, helping them to share their messages in a way that people can connect with and relate to, that they're intrigued to hear more and to share that in the right way. Connection is what we're looking for, whether that's being relatable, connecting on a deeper level or simply agreement – because if people agree with you, or you can muster an emotion from them that matches the one you're talking about, they're more likely to listen.If it's predictable and we know what's going to happen, your brains aren't intrigued. If you speak in a calm, warm tone which is appealing at first but less so when you carry on in the same tone, brains will switch off because it's predictable and boring. We love gossip because it's emotional and people want to know. Moments of emotion drive what stories are all about. In sales, as soon as somebody feels like they're being sold they switch off. If you bring in stories (success, things that have happened to you, maybe with a conflict or a change in there) we listen more. We want to listen to stories and are more likely to retell that same story to someone else.People are number one in all this. You can look at a brand or a logo and you don't always know who's behind them. If you take that and flip it on its head and look at the founders and how they came up with and started their business we can relate and believe in why they're doing what they're doing. Again, it's all about showing up and creating a connection. BEST MOMENTS‘When we appreciate things, we need to let people know and give reasons why – we don't often do that.'‘It's just as much what you say, and the content, as it is how you deliver that.'‘Focus on the value of what you're sharing, how you want people to feel, what do you want them to walk away with/do/feel?'‘If you can show up in a way that makes people want to connect with you, even if it's on Zoom, do it.'

Summary:   In this episode of Building Better Cultures, we hear from a top virtual-speaking specialist who sees a golden opportunity in the virtual world. Peter Hopwood, a global executive speaker coach, believes the most reticent public speakers can emerge as stronger, more engaging communicators than ever before.     There are ways to leverage your online environment and actually take pleasure in an ability to control the stage. Peter highlights the many variables (from sound to lighting to backdrop to gesticulation) that can be modulated to our advantage. He also explains other new factors to consider, such as the imperative to develop disciplined, compelling messaging that quickly captures – and then holds – people's interest.    To learn more about the Building Better Cultures podcast and related services, visit www.BuildingBetterCultures.com.

You're 100% in control and can manage how you project and what kind of background you present.  What storytelling is for Peter and why it matters: Stories about what has happened to us and the attendant emotions define us as humans and create the bridges through which we connect. Emotional connection = Power of storytelling.  Emblematic words in a post-cubicle hybrid workplace where people show up differently – Empathy, Gratitude and Community  Advice from Peter for leaders who wish to become better communicators: Be curious and show curiosity; and tell stories      Key Quotes:   "I help teams and professionals find their stories and deliver them in a way that connects in a way that people will remember for the right reasons."  "Screens are almost more intimate than face to face so the key is really being aware of how we're coming across."  "We really have to make sure that the things we share (onscreen) are more concise, more to the point, get people feeling engaged and connected."  "If you can do well and get chemistry going (onscreen) it can only help you when it comes to going back to or building on your in-person communications skills."  "If we can connect with emotion and get people to feel that emotion and connect it with the message we want to share, then to me that is the power of storytelling and how to use it."      About Peter:  British Global Speaker Coach, Virtual Speaking Specialist & TEDx Coach, Storytelling for Sales Trainer, Worldwide Corporate Events MC & Speaker - lived in 7 countries, worked in 42, currently based in Croatia, working worldwide on Zoom!

HIGHLIGHTSSimple communication is the best communication There's more to communication than just words The journey counts just as much as the destinationThe joys of MC'ing and commanding a roomYou need to connect to people to engage themRepetition is a good confidence boosterReading a room and being self aware is a skill onto itselfHow to make it as a public speaker Let them judge you, but don't let them drive you QUOTESPeter: "Whenever we're presenting or speaking or connecting, um, a zoom call, a virtual exchange, a presentation, a Ted talk,  a CEO speaking to all of his employees, all of the teams, whatever it is. We feel when we listen to someone, we can feel that energy.Peter: “As humans, our brains are really good at detecting how people feel about what they're saying and also how they often feel about themselves. It's a strange thing. And we can detect that in so many ways through our voice, through the energy, the pace."Peter: "I think it's good advice to just keep trying stuff, keep moving and keep doing different things." Rob: "I always knew at a younger age that I wanted to teach and speak. Those are two things I was good at from a young age. But I would never be able to be where I'm at today with my career and doing those things and the way that I'm doing them now, without all the experiences of going into marketing and working in recruitment and then going to Italy and getting a masters and working for a startup and all these things that I'm currently doing to get me where I'm at and to have the confidence to deliver." Peter: "That's the confidence. So believing you can stand on a stage and share content that is going to really connect and really make people feel something.  And so one of those things that helps with that, is if you've done it before. So the more times you do something, the more so -- anything we do lots of times, our brain tells us [we're] good at it."Peter: "When I'm working, when I'm with a client, most of the time I'm listening. So I'm  really listening to what's being said, really kind of listening to with my eyes, looking at how this person is feeling about the content, about themselves, about the perception of others when they see them."Peter: "The more you listen and the more you're kind of curious to really figure out how you come across, how others generally see you, it can really make a difference."Peter: "Today, judgment is a really big thing. We'd constantly being judged. We're be being judged even more now than we've ever been. Right. And so that judgment can make us feel so many things. There's a whole scale of making this feel good because of the likes that we get or the comments we get, and that is kind of like a, almost like false, a false reality for many. And then there's others that are happy with themselves and happy that the know they're doing quite well and they want to learn and they're not perfect. And that's cool. Keep going, let others judge you. Say to yourself. Okay, That's okay. They have the right to judge you." Peter: "I often say to the people I work with, saying listen: let people judge you, you cannot stop them. They will judge what you wear, what you look like, your hairstyle, your voice. They may not like you because they just don't like your shoes. They may not like you because they don't like your voice. They may not like you because they don't like the content — hopefully not, but that may happen. And that's okay. As long as you're trying to get to an outcome, trying to share messages, trying to give value, right. So letting people judge us is, okay, but don't let good judgment drive you forward."Connect with Peter through the link belowLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterhopwoodpublicspeaking/Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review.Connect with Rob:www.beacons.page/robnapoliwww.linkedin.com/in/robnapIG: @rise_up.robnapWe have teamed up with Phin, a social impact marketing firm, to give back for each episode.

Peter helps speakers, high-performing professionals, corporate teams, TEDx speakers, and founders to share powerful stories and build acute speaking and presence skills.  Public speaking goes far beyond being on a stage. It's about every interaction we have with other people. In this episode, we discuss everything entrepreneurs need to know about public speaking.  - Why is it important for founders to develop public speaking skills? - What are the keys to great public speaking? - Are there any differences between speaking on a stage in front of a live audience vs. speaking via an online platform? Pitching vs. Presenting? Talking in front of a video camera? Selling? - What are the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make re: public speaking?

Peter Hopwood, Global Public Speaking & TEDx Coach discusses some of his top tips to be more impactful in a virtual setting, how to transfer existing presenting skills to the screen and the importance of emotion when storytelling. Peter delivers dynamic public speaking, pitching and presentation skills, through individual and team coaching - worldwide.
