When I told illustrator Melinda Beck that "Be the Host" was my top public speaking tip this year, she created this image to help me welcome 2022.
May you bring generosity and authority to all your presentations in the new year. Invite the audience in, create the mood, be attentive. And give them what they didn't even know they needed.
If you love this image as much as I do, message me with your snail mail address and I'll mail you a card with this image on it. You can keep the card on your desk as a handy reminder that "Be the host" can inspire you to channel your best self for any presentation.
Happy New Year!
