Public speaking is not just for politicians and pastors. It is the skill that multiplies every other skill you have.
Every career needs it:
• Job interviews — presenting yourself
• Team meetings — sharing ideas
• Client presentations — closing deals
• Teaching and training — sharing knowledge
• Leadership — inspiring others
Nigerians who changed the world with their words:
• Wole Soyinka — Nobel Prize winning author, his speeches and essays changed African literature
• Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — her TED talk "We Should All Be Feminists" has 11 million views
• Aliko Dangote — built a $14 billion empire partly through the ability to negotiate and persuade
• Pastor E.A. Adeboye — leads millions through the power of his words
• Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala — became WTO Director-General through expert communication
The hard truth:
A brilliant person who cannot communicate their ideas is limited. A moderately smart person who communicates brilliantly is unstoppable.
The fear is normal:
Glossophobia (fear of public speaking) affects 75% of people worldwide. It is the most common fear — more common than fear of death. The good news: it is completely curable through practice.
