Michael Tow, Actor, Director and Producer is with Toni discussing his journey and the positives of having a transferable skill set and always taking every opportunity.

When you put those, you admire on a pedestal it can be easy to think that they are very different but when you realise that everyone is going through the same thing you are, the same fears and concerns you are in a better position to gain perspective.

The more you progress the less the fear and Michael shares great advice on how to develop as a public speaker.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being on stage as an actor was so freeing
• You can be one person on stage and a completely different person away from the stage
• The ability to know you can do something is very freeing
• Connecting with people and helping them with something is what drives me forward and speaking and presentations helped.
• It’s about showing up taking the opportunities to be able to move towards your goals.
• Through Clubhouse I saw an opportunity to reach out to actors who needed help.
• Clubhouse is a great opportunity for public speaking.
• The people you put on a pedestal are the same as you they are going through the same thing as you.
• If you are just like them why not give it a go.
• When you think about the worst that can happen you also need to think about the best that can happen.
• You can go through a horrible scenario and come through it learning something.
• You limit yourself when you say others are at a different level, everyone is at a different place in their journey and will have had different opportunities.
• If you want to improve your public speaking the key is to continually practice and put the work in.

BEST MOMENT

‘I realised that everyone has the same fears and concerns’

‘Think about what can go well and the best that can happen’
