Show Notes

  • You don’t need to speak well if you’re going to play small in life, but if you’re going to make an impact you are going to need to speak well.
  • Your communication skills have a direct impact on the quality of your life and relationships.
  • We spent a lot of time in tribes where if we were rejected from the tribe it meant certain death. We eventually developed a healthy fear of ostracism.
  • Some of our fear is biological, and the rest is personal. Getting over your fear of speaking means realizing that other people need your help and thinking about them instead of you.
  • Just learning how to be a better public speaker will have a major impact on the rest of your life.
  • It doesn’t matter that someone believes in you, it matters when you believe in you.
  • The first public speaking gig you get may be your worst one, but you have to be willing for it to be bad before it can become good.
  • Everyone who is world class can tell you stories about when they were starting out where they weren’t very good.
  • Outline some bullet points to reference when giving a speech, when you speak from the heart it may end up in a ramble.
  • Practice first and avoid getting caught on a pet phrase.
  • Not modulating your voice will put everyone in your audience to sleep. When you change the rhythm and cadence of your voice, it keeps people engaged.
  • When you get up on stage, people want to hear your personal story transitioned to the universal with valuable lessons included that they can take away.
  • The purpose of a speech is to transfer ideas, shift emotions, and get people to rethink their life.
  • The moment the brain gets confused, it checks out. You have to be clear with your message.
  • Take people on an emotional ride and send them off on a high note.
