PayTechWomenLead Series Part 2 Recap
By Sara Ruffell, Marketing Manager, TSYS Solutions, Global Payments
Shelonda Darling was an inspirational speaker wowing her virtual audience in the recent PayTechWomenLead Series Part 2 session on ‘How to be a Great Individual Speaker.’
The session (recorded and now available on the WNET Thought Leadership Center) was geared to motivate WNET members to break out of their comfort zones, and project their voice confidently while sharing their story and embracing—and being prepared for—those moments when you step into the spotlight to talk.
Engaging WNET members by sharing her personal college graduation speech story—and drawing the audience in—Shelonda artfully introduced the 3 C’s of Professional Speaking (Competence, Character & Charisma) and demonstrated that Charisma without Competence (or preparation) does not make for a great speaker experience! She shared insights on how to increase charisma in speaking engagements by building a personal connection with the audience through credibility, storytelling and authenticity.
