When it comes to learning the mechanics of world-class speaking, who might we look up to as role models? It is not the highest-paid speakers, celebrities, or politicians, but rather the World Championship of Public Speaking winners who truly set the benchmark. They are the masters who have turned this craft into a science. Today’s guest is Ed Tate, himself a World Championship winner, and one of Rory’s early idols. Ed is a Certified Speaking Professional and has been a corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and executive coach for people who want to make winning high stakes presentations for over 20 years. He joins us on the show today to share his perspectives about what building a reputation and staying on top of your game truly means.
