I enjoyed delivering a keynote speech this week at the Sport and Recreational Alliance Directors Evening on my favourite subject – using technology to create social change.
I always get really nervous before any major speech, pitch or generally big audience events. My poor husband and Alex at Groop are used to this and throw a multitude of very helpful ‘jollying up’ motivational comments at me. And of course its always absolutely fine – in fact I have to admit I love it! The minute I stand up, I’m off!
How often do we get a chance to ensure that everyone can listen to you waxing lyrical on your favourite subjects – uninterrupted. I know full well I’m not any kind of Steve Jobs in the least – I wish – but people do seem to see that I speak from the heart and it resonates with them. We were inundated with enquiries on the night and afterwards which has been great!
I’d love to hear about your own experience of delivering speeches and pitches – let me know.

P.S. If you would like to try out a Sports Management Software, then why not put Groop to the test with a free trial.
