How to show yourself and your work to the world

Communicating Your Ideas with Public Speaking

“Friend! You made it. Thank you so much for taking this course. I hope you had fun and learned a lot. So here's a final note from me to you. Use I instead of we: This is your work, your opinion and your thinking. Sign your work. Speak from the I. Be honest but not too honest: People want to know the truth but we don’t want to hear about all the things that drive you crazy about your co-workers. Use your common sense; balance honesty and positivity. Be kind to others who are working in the open: It’s a hard thing to do that can feel scary and risky when you begin. Cheerlead and champion others by sharing, liking, forwarding and commenting. The week notes community is a perfect example of this. Blend professional and personal: Working in the open is a way to let others into your world; it’s an opportunity to share more than a Linkedin profile would. It’s a sliding scale: Working in the open is a sliding scale, you get to choose the degree of openness that suits your goals and current focus. Making networking nicer: Meeting new people is hard. Period. Working in the open is an amazing way to make new connections with people. Steal like an artist: As Austin Kleon says, nothing is original, look at how others do it. Deconstruct their tools, approach and rhythm. Copy and repeat till you find a way that works for you. Choose your platform: You can’t be on every channel all of the time. It’s up to you to choose the medium that suits you best. Choose one and try it for a bit and then reassess. Own the story of your work: If you don’t own and write the story of your work. Someone else will. It’s a practice: Like anything worthwhile, it takes a while to build a practice. You start by starting, and you keep going by practising. Get going, then get good. Let’s build the world we want to live in. Don’t forget to discuss in the forum, support each other and engage with the community. I’d love to know about your work, how you intend to share it with the world and what we can all do to help you! See you soon. ”

“Hi, friend, you made it. This is our very last lesson. Thank you so much for taking this course. It's been amazing to do this work with you. Don't forget to participate in the forum, support each other, and engage with this community. I'd love to know more about your work, For your final project, I want you to create your own visibility guide. The first step was writing your own visibility manifesto. It will articulate the reasons why your voice and your perspective are important, not just for you, but also for the world. Remember, we're only hearing a tiny fraction of the world's best idea...”
