Keynote Speaker Secrets
Here are some keynote speaker secrets I’ve learned:
- “Just Love On ‘Em” is what I say to myself when I’m feeling scared of so many people in the audience. That is my mantra before walking on the stage. Remember that the audience is always secretly pulling for you because People are good that way.
- Shake hands and make a connection with your audience members before and after the event. In the early days, I used to use baby powder on my palms when they would get sweaty. Antiperspirant works well for this, too.
- Move about the cabin. I have always said that I’m allergic to podiums. Anything that requires me to stay in one place for long periods of time tends to make me crazy, besides I have always thought that podiums look like upside-down caskets. Walk around while speaking. This brings the audience in, helps you engage with them more, and also relaxes you.
- Leave People, Places, and Things better than you found them.
Use these keynote speaker secrets to improve your speaking game.

What Patricia's Clients are Saying:
“Patricia brought into a fruition a vision for Inclusive Student Excellence at UNC. The experience was once-in-a-lifetime for many students and still is a hot topic for conversation. Patricia was the perfect inaugural keynote speaker for our College to Corporate program!”
“I thought it was very valuable. Though you cannot possibly take away everything, I think there were some key takeaways that I will certainly roll into my daily life. Inspire would be a great venue for her, because she would be especially “inspiring” to women and they would enjoy interacting with her and hearing her story in general. A speaker like Patricia is invaluable and something I took as a privilege to sit through.
Dear Patricia, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! The evening was amazing. You are full of love to share and that was very clear in the atmosphere. Everyone was engaged and loving every minute of your presentation. I’ve had so many great comments and the best was: “This was the best program we have done” I was super excited and wanted to share the positive feedback.
“Thank you so much for your active and hands-on role in our Women’s Leadership Networking Event yesterday.
The positive feedback just keeps coming in! You inspired me and our group to think and act differently in the way we approach networking in social situations. I look forward to reading your current and future books. I truly hope our paths will cross again in the not too distant future.”
