Swearing when presenting? Can we? Should we? If you’ve seen me present in person you’ll know I’ve been known to swear a bit on stage. If you’ve had a conversation with me, you’ll know I can swear like a trooper! But when it comes to presenting with impact, does swearing help your hinder your cause? In this episode I talk about swearing when presenting, how to do it and how to tell if you shouldn’t. And, if it’s not appropriate to go the full hog, how to still be authentic without using any of those ‘rude words’. I would LOVE to know your thoughts on swearing in professional settings … particularly when presenting. Head over to the Speaking with Confidence group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/speakingconfidence and let me know … are you a swearer? Do you like it or loathe it when you hear a speaker swear?
