More than 70% of people fear public speaking more than death, according to the US National Institute of Mental Health. But what is also true is that public speaking or presenting can  boost your reputation and open new opportunities for your life and career.

Sam Cawthorn has mastered this art and trained thousands as an international speaker on leadership and public speaking. He is the CEO and founder of Speakers Institute and Speakers Tribe. He is also both a Young Australian Of The Year and Edupreneur of the Year. His new book is People Follow People: The Twelve Characteristics of an Influential Leader.

This is the final of a two-part interview on leadership with Sam.

Quotes From Episode

"Nervousness and excitement is exactly the same biological feeling. The only difference is your breathing. So if you breathe shallow, you're nervous. If you breathe deep, then you're excited. So the bottom line is, change your breathing."

"But my wife, she looks at me and she says, 'Sam, I'm not feeling it'. Do you think I'm going to buy that washing machine? No chance at all. So ultimately as influencers, we are in the business of emotion."
