Most presenters spend more energy performing than connecting, and audiences can feel the difference. Chasing applause might look impressive, but it rarely builds trust, influence, or lasting impact. The real power comes from easing back on the performing and showing up with honesty and intention. Professional speaker and author Coach Dan Gordon sits down with Rob to unpack what authentic delivery actually looks like. With nearly 30 years of experience as a leadership strategist and former Hollywood screenwriter, he shares how presenters, coaches, and entrepreneurs can transform fear into confidence, and create meaningful connection by being themselves.
In this Presentation Whisperer Show, you’ll learn:
o Why authenticity matters more than ever, and how speakers can prove they are who they say they are.
o How sharing experience over ego builds trust with audiences and clients.
o What makes sales audiences unique and how to design workshops that truly land with them.
o Specific techniques Coach Dan Gordon uses to engage, teach, and persuade in sales environments.
o How he books speaking gigs—whether through bureaus, referrals, or reputation.
o Practical advice for speakers looking to go pro in today’s marketplace.
o An example of a signature move he uses that most presenters overlook or underestimate.
o The most common mistake new speakers make—and how to avoid it.
