How Speaking Can Grow Your Business

Listen Later

Many of us have attended events in order to learn from the experience of others. We arrive and watch as those with influential names and aspirational stories ascend to the stage and recount their experiences in ways that drive us to be better.

But have you ever wondered how those people took that step to becoming public speakers? What caused them to make that decision? And how can we take those steps ourselves?

In this episode, Desmond discusses how speaking from a stage can help both you and your business to grow in all kinds of interesting and empowering ways.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Apparently, more people have a fear of public speaking than they do of dying! People in general are scared of speaking in front of others; they lack confidence and self-belief.
  • Speaking on stage is incredibly powerful and has tremendous upsides. You are able to address numerous minds at once. Within twenty minutes you can speak to fifty people.
  • Speaking on stage positions you as someone in authority. Being selected to speak marks you out as someone who has achieved, and who is in a position to be able to instruct others. This is incredibly powerful.
  • We should yearn to be better at speaking once we are in a position to do so. Everything is a skill, and we can always be better. Speaking is a skill, and can be utilised in such a way that it can change the world. We should seek to improve and master it whenever possible.

    • BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Instead of one-to-one, you’re speaking one-to-many’

    ‘You get to build rapport with more people in a shorter space of time’

    ‘What people think is important’

    ‘I should get some sound effects…'

    ‘Everything is a skill'

    ABOUT THE HOST

     

    I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
