Most people think public speaking is about being impressive.

But the best speakers make the audience feel like they are being brought into something.

In this week's episode of Tales from The Lane, I'm joined by speech coach Mike Pacchione for a conversation about speaking, storytelling, presence, and why your audience is probably rooting for you more than you think.

We talk about:

• how to tell better stories
• why details make a story land
• what speakers often get wrong
• how to calm yourself down in the moment
• and how to connect with an audience instead of performing at them

Mike also has a free resource for listeners: How to Win the Audience Over in 13 Seconds.
