When you began your career, (unless you started out as a public speaker) we can make an assumption that you never thought public speaking would become a key skill in your toolkit.

However, it's unfortunately the reality for a lot of corporate folks, and even those outside of the corporate world. In fact, the importance of developing public speaking skills has become a necessity in many roles - which is why we've got Motivational Speaker and professional public speaker, Julian Mather, on this week's episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast.

A former stutterer turned professional keynote speaker, Julian shares his personal journey from dreaming of being a photojournalist to becoming a TV cameraman, to his eventual career change into magic and motivational speaking (a rollercoaster, right?).

Even with the chaotic career path he's ventured, Julian highlighted the critical need for effective communication and public speaking while providing practical tips for improving speaking skills, overcoming the fear of being wrong, and mitigating the usage of filler words like 'um.'

So... if you want to get better at speaking in front of people, or maybe you just want to hone your skills, sit back and get listening to this week's episode!
