Business Building InsightsFind people who motivate you and see your potential.
Speaking in person allows you to be seen as an expert and authority.
The more you do it, the easier it gets.
As a speaker it’s not about you, it’s about the audience.
It’s the message that you bring to the audience that makes the impact.
The benefits of public speaking are brand awareness, personal branding, lead generation & marketing.
Stick to one to three ideas for your presentation.
As the speaker you’re the authority and the guide to help the audience.
Don’t rush the ending of your presentation because that’s what people remember most.
Finish your presentation with a story.
Make speaking a part of your marketing strategy.
