Summary:

Join Timothy De Block for a special, behind-the-scenes episode where he rehearses his presentation, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Threat Modeling." This episode serves as a unique guide for aspiring and experienced speakers, offering a candid look at the entire preparation process—from timing and slide design to audience engagement and controlled chaos. In addition to public speaking tips, Timothy provides a concise and practical overview of threat modeling, using real-world examples to illustrate its value.

Key Presentation Tips & Tricks

  • Practice for Time: Practice the presentation multiple times to ensure the pacing is right. Timothy suggests aiming to be a little longer than the allotted time during practice, as adrenaline and nerves on the day of the talk will often cause a person to speak more quickly.

  • Use Visuals Strategically: Pacing and hand gestures can improve the flow of a talk. Be careful with distracting visuals, such as GIFs, by not leaving them up for too long while you are speaking.

  • Stand Out as a Speaker: Be willing to do shorter talks, such as 30-minute sessions, as many speakers prefer hour-long slots. He notes that having a clever or intriguing title for your presentation is important, and using humor or pop-culture references can help.
