Everyday We Are All Public Speakers.

In surveys of what people say they fear, more people are afraid of speaking in public than they are of heights, snakes, or even death. Most people DO NOT WANT TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC.  Yet, I believe, everyday we are public speakers. 

While the words 'public speaking' might make you think of enormous crowds listening intently to aimportant information, or lecturing, inspiring, coaching, teaching or selling to motivated and/or apathetic audiences. It's tue that only a select few people make their entire living as public speakers, sharing ideas and knowledge with audiences full time for pay, many more people will have occasionally have to give a speech. For even non-professional public speaking, there are tips, tricks, and techniques we can learn from professional speakers to be much better presenters ourselves. 

 I believe everytime you are talking to someone who isn't you (btw, talking to yourself is OK, it's just not public speaking). The reality is that public speaking is much more nuanced and diverse. Everyone will have to do to give some form of a formal presentation in some capacity during their lives, and everyone has to speak to others aeveryday. In reality, public speaking includes everything from presenting sales numbers to your team or at a company board meeting, to pitching an idea coworkers or potential customers, to trying to convince a group of friends that your plan or idea is a good idea.  Everyday, you have opportunities to help others understand and maybe even inspire to take action.

Therefore, by my definition, everyday we are all public speakers. 

Fortunately for those who don’t take naturally to public speaking, which according to statistics is the vast majority of us, you can learn to be a better speaker.  If you are already a good speaker recognized for your elequence, you can become better.  On ByronWolt.com, whether you have to give formal presentations or just want to improve your communication skills, public speaking, presentation design, speechwriting, and general verbal communication. 

I LOVE public speaking.  I know that makes me weird. You may or may not LOVE to give presentations, but you can become a better communicator and speaker.  If you think iiimproving your public speaking skills can help you personally and/or professinally, I want to help.
