Want to improve?

Here’s some thoughts:

👉🏽 Public speaking is a common fear, but is a skill that can be learned and improved over time.

It's not just about speaking in public; it's about finding and effectively using your voice to convey ideas with confidence and authority. This skill is essential for personal and professional growth.

👉🏽 Take practical steps.

Commit to things like attending Toastmasters International, practicing regularly, and studying resources like Carmine Gallo's book "Talk Like Ted." These practices help you develop clarity in communication, increase self-confidence, and improve leadership skills through understanding the power of your words and audience engagement.

👉🏽 Find a supportive environment.

A place like Toastmasters International provides a supportive environment for practice, and structure to improve. offering structured growth in public speaking abilities. Join a community where the change you seek is normal.

👉🏽 It goes beyond presentations

Great communication enhances daily interactions and the ability to improvise and respond confidently in various situations. Leadership, meetings, communicating ideas, getting people on board and more. You’ll even find it helping in your personal life.

Oh - and as Buffet said - you can increase your value by 50% 😉 Not a bad reason - being able to communicate and deliver more value.
