Did you know that anyone can learn how to become a professional speaker?
I’ve spoken in 75 countries around the world over the past 40+ years. And I’ve been translated into different languages by 50 professional interpreters.
But believe it or not, there was a time when I didn’t know how to speak to large crowds. In fact, I used to be nervous when I spoke to the smallest of groups!
I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say the ability to engage, entertain, and inform an audience through public speaking is a skill that offers immense value in several different aspects.
Are you struggling to book speaking engagements as a both professional speaker or a public speaker?
In today’s competitive professional landscape, securing speaking engagements has become a transformative avenue to expand your influence, establish yourself as an expert, and make a profound impact on your audience.
After over 40 years of public speaking experience I’ve found that sharing your message is very important, for your business for example, but so is having an idea of the right audience to share it with.
If the idea of getting up in front of a group of people — a big or small audience, online or in-person — makes you sweat, you might suffer from the fear of public speaking.

Or maybe you heard a speech that persuaded you to shift your viewpoint on an important subject.
We all have had moments where we’ve been persuaded to do something. But what would it look like if you flipped the script?
