Happy #ProfessionalSpeakers Day!

▪︎ To all my incredible speaking connections, I’m giving you a big pat on the back and a round of applause today!

▪︎ This is a day dedicated to celebrating the profound impact we make on inspiring, educating, and motivating others through our words and messages.

Public speakers like us play a pivotal role across various domains, from education to business, entertainment, and advocacy.

Did you know?

▪︎ People are 22x more likely to remember a fact or information when presented in the form of a story (source).

▪︎ Although effective storytelling attracts the audience’s attention, 46% of surveyed respondents cite “creating a compelling story” as the most challenging part of preparation.

▪︎ Make the Audience the Center of Your Universe: Ultimately, every good speaker cares more about the audience than themselves. This can be a tough prescription to fill if you have speech anxiety, which tends to wrap you in a cocoon of anxiety and self-consciousness.

▪︎ The Public Speaking Team of 3: Prepare, Practice, and Present | Speak Up For Success.

Personally, I’ve had the privilege of engaging with diverse audiences in a myriad of speaking arrangements so far.

From addressing corporates and delegates at conferences to discussing vital topics like sustainability, climate change, and mental health at events, to empowering school pupils, university students, and faculty, and even sharing captivating stories of adventures and personal experiences at festivals and film premieres.

It’s been an exhilarating journey that has taken me all around the globe, connecting with thousands of incredible people who are doing amazing things, the power of remote participation.

And you know what?

I’ve learned so much along the way!

The power we possess to influence positive change is unparalleled.

Each year, professional speaking events contribute to an estimated economic impact of well over £billion, highlighting the significance of our work.

I’m determined and diligent to continue making an impact with my passion for speaking.
