I’m incredibly excited to welcome my World Championship mentor to the podcast. John is an internationally renowned keynote speaker, a nine-time European Toastmasters speech champion, creator of the acclaimed Manner of Speaking blog, and someone who has helped thousands of communicators around the world find their voice. More importantly, he was one of the people who helped me navigate the final steps of my journey to becoming the 2025 World Champion of Public Speaking. I can’t wait to share the lessons, stories, and wisdom from the man behind so many great speakers.
