“Happiness comes from WHAT we do. Fulfillment comes from WHY we do it. Fulfillment comes when our work connects directly to our WHY.” - Simon Sinek

This is an oft-quoted statement by Sinek and it’s the foundational premise of his well-known book, Start With Why. But what does “finding your why” have to do with public speaking?

There is a fine line between being polite and adopting a fake persona of pretense and the latter? Yeah, that can become habitual to the point of self-harm. Even worse? Adopting that fake you for too long means you will not only become disconnected from your true (and best) self, but you’ll start to lose what you put that mask on for to begin with: credibility.

Okay, it’s the post-pandemic world and you’re holed up in your WFH office, wearing your WFH yoga pants, drinking your WFH (maybe spiked) coffee. Public speaking isn’t just the last thing on your mind… it’s the last thing you think you need to worry about.

Because most people do. Worry about public speaking, that is.

None of us want to admit feeling afraid, but the truth is that fear is a very real obstacle when it comes to having the confidence we need to achieve our goals.

I’m not talking about dark-basement-steps-fear. I’m talking about the things that make you feel scared, anxious, stressed, and uncertain. You know, normal things, like being scared that you didn't do an excellent job on your last presentation…

Our emotional intelligence (the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically) plays a significant role in how we are perceived by others, which, in turn, is an important part of how they respond to us. Developing emotional intelligence, or EI, is an absolute MUST if we want to impact those around us – both professionally and personally.

How do you create a sense of urgency that inspires action and not stress in your audience? Here are my 4 tips to do just that in any public speaking role – whether you’re talking to your team, presenting to the board, or delivering a keynote address.

You’ve developed a superpower when you have overcome or improved upon an identified issue. If that issue is public speaking or leadership, congratulations! You’re in good company. Forbes says over 70% of career professionals fear public speaking or presenting from the front of the room, while over 45% consider themselves to need “better leadership skills.”

Okay, so we all know a picture is worth a thousand words, but what if I told you that stories are the most valuable tool available when it comes to magnifying a memorable message? Not only do stories make a presentation more memorable, they make it more meaningful AND more motivational, as well. They build a bridge between you and the audience – connecting you with them and connecting them to your message.

When it’s time to increase your presence, influence and impact without compromising on authenticity or results, it’s time to speak like a leader. If the ability to persuade, influence and communicate effectively is essential to your role, but you feel frustrated by your current capacity to do so, this article is the perfect starting point to help you flip the switch from meh to marvelous.

If you always feel like somebody’s watching you (with apologies to Rockwell)... you’re right! If you’re online in the business world in 2022, you’ve been being watched for at least two years: on Zoom, on Teams, on Google Hangouts, Facetime, inside social media groups, and other various interactive platforms. Odds are, you’re probably doing a lot of watching yourself – meaning, you spend a lot of time watching others speak.

But what if you were to watch yourself?

What IF you could control what happens to you? What if you could have an objective POV that enabled you to:

• Observe the situation objectively

• Assess your energy level

• Predict your go-to response

• Intercept that go-to response (stress, worry, fear, anger, etc) with a sudden peaceful, controlled energetic shift that, in turn, created…

• … a new reality.

Excellence in public speaking is not gender-dependent. However, certain psychological traits – such as risk aversion, willingness to compete, or aversion to feedback – contribute to explaining gender differences that occur not only in occupations, wages and careers, but in development in the area of public speaking. The ability to give a good public presentation is relevant for career prospects and leadership positions; presenting information publicly, clearly and eloquently creates an important competitive advantage in a variety of job settings.

The goal of an interview is to communicate your key message to a public audience via a news reporter, podcast host and the media outlet they serve. Remember: you’re not there to educate the reporter or show how much you know. To achieve this, you must focus on your core messaging and utilize techniques to keep the interview centered on those messages you most want to relay, while also adding “color” and “context” that is relevant to the platform, scope of the interview and audience.
