Embrace the Spotlight: Why You Should Love Public Speaking


I've got a confession to make – I absolutely adore public speaking. I know, it might sound a bit peculiar, given that most folks out there rank "speaking in public" as their number one fear, even above the fear of death! But trust me; there's a method to my madness.

You're probably wondering, "Why in the world would anyone love public speaking?" Well, my friends, I'm here to share my insights and reasons why not only do I love it, but why YOU should consider embracing it too.

The Early Influences That Shaped My Love for Public Speaking

Let's journey back to my childhood for a moment. You see, I grew up in a theater family, and my father was the director of a summer theater group in Kennebunkport, Maine. During those unforgettable rehearsal breaks, my brother and I would seize the stage and dive into spirited "Ernie and Bert" routines from Sesame Street. (Spoiler alert: I was always Ernie.)

The audience, primarily made up of adults, would shower us with oohs and ahhs, and comments like, "Isn't he cute?" I was merely a 4 or 5-year-old at the time. So, it's safe to say that from a very tender age, my young mind began linking "performing on stage" with "receiving love and attention." You could say I was born for this.

Now, I get it – most people didn't grow up with a parent who directed theater or act out beloved puppet duos before they even hit grade school. That's precisely what makes my perspective on public speaking and addressing large groups so unique.

You see, when I step in front of a sizable crowd, I feel more relaxed and elated. It's quite the opposite of how most people approach public speaking, with their fear and apprehension, often contemplating, "How can I escape this ordeal?"

Building Confidence Through Public Speaking

Let's tackle the first reason why you should embrace public speaking: It builds your confidence. Now, courage isn't about the absence of fear; it's about taking action in the face of fear. If you're one of those folks who gets the jitters when thinking about speaking in public, that's even more reason for you to dive right in.

You see, on the other side of that fear, lies a newfound sense of freedom. Conquering your fear of public speaking can be transformative, not just in your professional life but your personal one too. As you stand before an audience, you'll witness your confidence grow exponentially, and you'll be amazed at the positive impact it has on your self-esteem.

Attracting More Clients with the Power of Public Speaking

The second compelling reason to embrace public speaking is its incredible ability to attract more clients. I've been in the business of teaching and mentoring coaches, speakers, authors, healers, and mission-driven entrepreneurs since 1997. Over the years, I've learned that there's no better method than public speaking to draw new clients into your orbit.

Whether you're hosting your own live events like the Power Habits® Academy, aimed at helping professionals share their message and get handsomely compensated for it, or speaking at other people's events, the power of public speaking shines through. It's an invaluable tool to connect with high-level clients and make a lasting impact on them. Your expertise and passion shine on that stage, making you an attractive option for those in need of your services.

Increasing Your Influence through Public Speaking

The third reason to embrace public speaking is how it enhances your influence. When you stand on that stage, addressing a group of people, you automatically become a center of influence. It doesn't matter if you're speaking to 40 individuals at your local Chamber of Commerce or captivating an audience of 400 at a national seminar – your influence expands at an incredible pace.

The words you share resonate with your audience, leaving a lasting impression. You become the go-to expert in your field, someone who's not just knowledgeable but passionate and engaging. This increased influence opens doors to exciting opportunities, collaborations, and the chance to shape the world with your message.

Conclusion

So, there you have it, my friends – three compelling reasons why you should not fear but embrace public speaking. It builds your confidence, attracts more clients, and boosts your influence. It's a journey that can transform your life and the lives of those who are fortunate enough to hear your message.

Noah's Note: If you haven't started sharing your message through public speaking, there's no better time than now. The world is eagerly waiting to hear from you!
