Summary

 Different speakers dress differently. I'm sure you've seen speakers come on stage in everything from jeans to a suit. So what should you wear?

On episode 92 of The Speaker Lab, I share my thoughts on what attire is appropriate and when. While I don't claim to be a fashionista, I do know how important what you wear is when speaking to an audience!

I'll be digging into that specific topic on this special solo edition of The Speaker Lab!

THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW:  

  • When should you wear business casual attire?
  • Can you dress like Scott Stratten if you aren't Scott Stratten?
  • Why you should ask about the audience's dress code before the event.
  • Why I don't like speaking in a suit.
  • Are there certain things to avoid wearing if you are going to be on video?
  • What Tommy Boy can teach you about dressing for your speaking engagement.
  • Why to pack a back up shirt/outfit.
  • What are the three things to check right before you go on stage?
  • And so much more!

What is that my friends? Graham Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast.

Today we have a great conversation for you about fashion as a speak. Well, maybe not fashion, but what you should be wearing. And it's definitely, it's something to consider and something that you want to, you know, and I'll be candid. I'll be honest with you. I typically, I don't like to give a lot of thought to it, but perception does matter. And so you want to make sure that

1:11.1

you're looking sharp, that you're looking professional whenever it is, whenever you are speaking. So we'll get into that conversation today. But before we do, hey, let me remind you, if you haven't already, you definitely want to stop by and pick up your free ticket for the Speaker Lab Summit. Now, this is something you've been hearing me talk about for the past few weeks or months now.

1:28.0

This is a project we've been working on for a while, really, really excited about it and how

1:32.0

it's come together. We've interviewed over 40 of the world's best speakers, some of the top

1:37.3

experts in the speaking industry. Just to hear how they've built their business, what's worked

1:42.3

for them, how they've built their business beyond the stage, how they've raised their fees, how they write and publish books, just their strategies and tactics behind it all.

We really have just, I'm just so amazed at some of the top-notch speakers that were able to come hang out. So, in fact, check this out. This is no joke. I'm not making this up. I actually

2:34.8

did the math. I was just curious. All right, if we hired all of these speakers to come speak

2:39.6

in an event, what would it cost, right? Just what they charge right now to go speak? What would it

2:43.4

cost? It would cost around, no joke, $615,000. $615,000 to go see all these speakers speak in one place. But again, you can get your
