EXPRESS TO IMPRESS. FOR SHY INTROVERTS
Here’s my story:
Before I even knew about public speaking and what power it held, I felt like a tourist who had squandered money partying in Mombasa with no means of communication nor fare to return home. 😅
I was depressed, broke, and felt like the entire world was against me.
That’s when a friend of mine introduced me to a public speaking club called Toastmasters International.
Being broke and depressed, I had a lot of free time on my hands. 😆
When I got there, I was told to stand up and talk about a random topic, and guess what?
I messed up miserably; I couldn’t seem to find the correct words to use, my voice was all cranky, and my body shook all the way through to the end.😅
With a little encouragement from the club members, I was able to come back the second time not knowing that someday I would be a 1st runner up in the Boras, Sweden International Speaking Championship! And my English wasn’t even that good!🥳
With every practice lesson, I grew into a better speaker. I learnt to use techniques such as T.U.P that helped me control the impressions I made at will.
I also learnt to control audiences and relay my ideas effectively through the M.E.C.I approach and so much more.
So, how do you feel when you have to stand and speak in front of people?
Just take a minute and think about it.
Is it something you would ordinarily look forward to, or would you rather avoid it and volunteer someone else if you got the chance?
As much as public speaking may come rather naturally to some people, most people find it quite challenging.
Here’s the good news though. In fact, if you can accept this news about public speaking, then you have just made the first step to becoming an effective public speaker.
🎤PUBLIC SPEAKING IS NOT PERSONALITY-DEPENDENT. IT IS PRACTISE-DEPENDENT.🎤
Just like any craft, it can be learnt and mastered through practice and be expressed in a manner that impresses and influences people to action.
Take a leap of faith and let us take your speaking to the next level together. Classes begin on 13th February, 2023.
