Public speaking is a learnable skill.

I used to struggle with public speaking. When I was in high school I was very shy. I had a very hard time making friends so I would isolate myself and play video games all day. Whenever I had to give a presentation in front of my class I would skip and take the fail if it meant that I wouldn't have to speak. 

Every time that I spoke to someone I would experience debilitating anxiety. Luckily, the pain that I associated with public speaking became a gift. It gave me the motivation to change my life. I wouldn’t be the successful speaker who I am today if I hadn’t worked through my fear of public speaking.

Today, I speak at small and large events, some of which have included up to 2000 people. I also lead masterminds, host workshops, and have been able to impact millions of people around the world through my YouTube channel. I’m not the best speaker in the world, but I’ve improved a lot and I want the same for you.

4 Tips For Becoming A Confident Public Speaker

It is possible to develop your public speaking skills to the point where you become a master communicator. I know it feels scary and hard, but like anything, it will get easier with time. It starts and ends with committing to developing yourself. Below are 4 tips for how you can become a confident public speaker.

1. Know your “why” for speaking

When it comes to public speaking, 80% of communication is your why for speaking, and only 20% is the how. Most people focus on the 20%. They focus too much on the words that they speak. If you watch my YouTube videos, you will notice that my words aren't always smooth. I still make mistakes and stumble from time to time.

However, I’m not concerned because I focus my energy on the 80%. This is the emotion associated with what I am speaking about. When you talk about something important to you, it becomes so much easier to articulate the message with ease. A speech isn’t the thing that changes people's lives.

Rather, it’s your ability to influence people, to the point that you inspire them to take action.  When I communicate, I want you to feel the message behind my words. My goal is for you to always walk away from my content feeling motivated and empowered. 

2. Know your audience

Once you know your why for speaking, you want to ask yourself, “Who am I communicating with?” You want to know who your audience is and what their needs are. The more that you care about your audience, the more effective that you will be in serving them.

All too often, people make a speech about themselves. When you self-obsess, your mental chatter takes away from your message. The purpose of speaking is to influence your audience. This is what allows you to get out of your head and drop into your heart. 

3. Put yourself into a resourceful state

Before you speak, you want to be at a level 10, meaning that you want to be at your best. I like to listen to empowering music to get myself into a resourceful state. It does a great job of preventing my mind from wandering.

When I'm preparing for a big speech, I'll work with Roger Love, who is a celebrity voice coach. He's got an amazing course that I recommend, which is called, The Perfect Voice. If you purchase it, you can save $50 by using my coupon code, “MASTERY” on checkout.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice

The more that you practice public speaking, the better that you will get. The best thing that you can do is have an audience that you can practice in front of. If you are committed to developing your public speaking skills, I recommend that you join Toastmasters. I joined this organization when I was 18 years old.

Groups like this will give you the feedback and support that you need in order to become a better public speaker. Another thing to consider is taking improv or acting classes. It's challenging but it will force you to get out of your comfort zone.

Lastly, I encourage you to film yourself speaking so that you can observe your verbal and non-verbal language. Doing so will help improve your confidence, your speaking skills, and your comfort with filming future videos. The end goal is self-improvement, and you will always win when you're focused on that.

These are 4 tips for how you can become a confident public speaker.

You have the power to master the art of public speaking. Your message matters and the world is waiting for it. Are you ready to become a confident public speaker?
