Episode #250
Big dreams often take years of persistence; a long-held goal of working from anywhere became reality after setbacks and continued effort.
Public speaking is a learnable skill—practice, coaching, frameworks, and mindset tools like cognitive conversion, mantras, visualization, and success logs can overcome fear.
Shifting to a servant mindset—focusing on serving the audience—reduces nerves and can accelerate opportunities and business growth, even during crises.
And so sometimes it takes persistence. Not sometimes, but quite often those big dreams, those big goals take persistence.
Well, you become a professional once you get paid.
I'm an old man and I've known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Public speaking made easy.
Research shows that speaking publicly is one of the most common fears. It’s also one of the most important skills if you want to gain influence, improve credibility, advance your career, and make your mark. Even though you are not likely planning on becoming a professional speaker, it’s a skill that, more than any other, will benefit you personally and professionally. You may have to make a presentation at work, speak to a small group of 10 people, lead a meeting, speak at a wedding, or even give a eulogy. You don’t want to screw these opportunities up.
This episode is a story of my own personal struggles with public speaking and a blueprint for how to avoid the same mistakes I made. It’s also a guide for helping you figure out how to give a TEDx Talk.
