Cooper Camak

If people aren't engaging when you speak... 
here's the harsh truth (& the solution).

You're not garnering their attention.

It's not their fault.
It's not 'the culture's' fault.
It's not 'smartphone's' fault.
It's not 'virtual meetings' fault.

It's yours.

If you're frustrated at that, here's the quick solution.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 from the outset of speaking and presenting at work.

1) 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸.

- Make it RELEVANT for the audience.
- Make it CLEAR in your message  

After coaching 300+ people 1:1, I can tell you the kicker is being RELEVANT.  Most people present to be 'clear' but never tie their message to what matters to the audience.

2) 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

People have to know at the outset 'what's in it for them' by listening and engaging your presentation.  

- Give CONTEXT - Why are we here?
- Give the TOPIC - "today we'll discuss..."
- Give the SO WHAT- "... so that..."

The 3rd part is the critical point.  What is the VALUE people will walk away with from your presentation or conversation. 

3) 𝗔𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲..."

It has to connect to something they care about.
If it doesn't, they'll disengage.

And yes, you can use the "This matters because..."  When you do, watch people reengage... they'll look up from their phones and laptops.

If presentation nerves at work is something you struggle with, here's 3 harsh realities (and their solution). 

When you're struggling with 'speaking confidence' at work... 3 things you need to know that people won't tell you.

1️⃣ You’re making it about you.

While the spotlight feels scary, what's happening is your mind is turning inward to 'what are they going to think of me?' 

The cure... shifting your focus to adding value & serving your audience.

2️⃣ What you’re feeling is called 'reputation risk'.

You’re not afraid of speaking… you’re afraid of what people think of you. Good news... that’s 100% normal! The cure... shocker... focus on serving them vs 'looking good to them'.

3️⃣ You don’t have a repeatable game plan.

We all feel nerves when you don't have a checklist to do something that matters. So then, you feel the nerves and the anxiety of 'how you'll look'. A repeatable game plan fixes that. 

A great game plan also delivers VALUE to your audience. When that happens, it gives your brain a reason to relax.

If this is you... I give away our confidence formula for free, and you DON'T have to like, follow or comment on this post to get it! 

I'll email it to you for free. Just hit the 1st Featured Posts in my profile to get it emailed to your inbox.

If you want OTHERs to have more confidence speaking at work, you should give it a 👍 or 💡. Heck, you can even repost it.

If we haven't met, I'm Cooper. I help busy professionals speak and present confidently and credibly at work so they sleep better the night before their biggest presentations.

I started on the floor of my first apartment, hustling web dev gigs on Upwork. 

Five years in, I became an email Strategist, I’ve built and coded 1,000+ email templates, helped 50+ clients go from \$0 to \$20K in three months, and featured on Mailchimp.

Now I do one thing
 
I help creators, coaches, and small businesses turn their followers into email subscribers.

Those subscribers into paying customers. 

Using systems and strategies to save you time and drive real revenue.

If you’re tired of guessing what works and ready to turn your audience into a reliable income stream, let’s chat.

Most creators rarely monetize their audience  

They never move them off social

They post. 

They get engagement.  

But no one buys anything.  

They never move their audience to email.  

That’s the gap.  

And it’s costing you real money.  

Followers are not leads.  

Vanity metrics won’t pay your bills.  

Here’s what changes when you use email:  


1. You talk directly.  

One personalized email  
Gets more replies  
Than seven broad LinkedIn posts.  

It’s targeted, and it works.  

2. You track everything.  

Email tells you who clicked what,  
When they opened,  
How often they clicked.  

LinkedIn tells you… views. Maybe.  

3. People live in their inbox.  

They check it all day.  
Your message stays top of mind.  
Not lost in the feed.  


Also: most people don’t reply  

Because they’re busy,  

Not because they’re not interested.  

Email lets you follow up meaningfully.  

Reminder

If you have 5K+ followers  

And no email strategy 

You’re leaving money behind.  

PS. Want help scaling with content?  
You know what to do.
