Public speaking is everywhere – from your social media to your emails to the stages everywhere. In this episode of Presenting, Pitching & Public Speaking Podcast, Toni guides you on how to utilize these platforms to get all the benefits you could get for yourself, your career, or your business.

And just like any other skill or practice, public speaking also has do’s and don’ts! Toni lays out what you should be doing and avoiding every time you do public speaking. Know also the different types of public speaking: paid keynote speech, free speech, sales speech, and delivery speech. The format doesn’t really matter as long as you get the message out there.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Benefits of Public Speaking:
  • Build and monetize your brand.
  • Grow your business – client base, market, etc.
  • Step up in your career ladder.
  • Score investments.
  • Increase your influence.
  • Help your team and those in need (e.g. charities)
• Delivery of speech. If you’re speaking to 2-3 people, you use the normal level of your voice, but if you speak in an enormous arena, you should learn exaggerating your voice by being bolder and louder.
• Look at the experts in your industry. You can copy what they’re doing but add your personality to it. As Rob Moore said, “Own the traits of the greats.” This works wells with freestyle speech.
• Paid keynote speech. Building your own brand while earning income. Helping other people while sharing your message. An industry expert’s average compensation for a keynote speech is around £15,000 to £300,000.
• Sales speech. It’s selling from a stage or a platform. You’re able to sell your products and serviced and earn a commission that you’ll split with promoter.
• Delivery Speech. This is where you pay to attend and gain content from speakers. For example, Tony Robbins.
• What public speaking ISN’T:
  • Overfilling people’s heads
  • Blowing your own trumpet
  • Selling but not giving value
• You can have polarizing audiences. You will never please everybody. Be firm on what you stand on and what you stand against. That can be transferred to other people.
• Own your

BEST MOMENTS

• “All public speaking does for you is it helps you deliver an authentic message to sell without actually selling.”
• “Be yourself in front and back of stage.”
• “Identify to people why they should listen to you.”
• “You cannot please everybody.”
