I Don’t Need Public Speaking
Chris: Doc, I don’t need public speaking. I’m an introvert and I don’t want to make a fool of myself in front of an audience.😱
Dr. Will: I see that you have Speaking Ignorance Condition (SIC) and Audience Aversion Disorder (AAD)🩺
Speaking begins from your mind by coordinating your thoughts in a way that other people can understand you without confusion. Everyone is capable of valuable thoughts.
Imagine sharing your thoughts in class, the boardroom, family gatherings, or team meetings poorly! 😳
The quality of thought is measured by the quality of words. 🤔
Everyone needs public speaking!
Action Point:
1.List areas of your life where public speaking skills are useful✒️📒
2. React to this post, and Share your list in the comments💻

DEVELOPING THE DEVELOPER
A public speaker is like a fountain from which water flows. The quality of the source determines the freshness of the water. My counsel over the years has remained that we must always give out of the overflow of our lives and not out of the reserve. 🌨🌨🌨
This means that our first responsibility is to develop ourselves, and this overflows into the lives of others.🏋🏻♂️
Don’t forget that:
“… for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart the mouth speaks.”
Today, I bring you a podcast: Click the link below

Don’t listen to it for someone else; make the lessons your own. When you are blessed, then please share it with some to want to bless.😁
How about also sharing your most memorable lesson in the chat?

Chris and Will: Why Your Career Can’t Be Public Speaking
Chris: Doc, I’ve found what I want to do for life, it is public speaking🎤
Dr. Will: I can see that you have Priorititis, an inability to focus on what is most important. 🩺
Public speaking is a channel. There is no great speaker without a great message.💯
Your message is what you have found, that has worked for you, and that others need.📡
What drives you is not the desire to speak but people’s need to hear.👨👩👧👦
You must be very busy proving that your message works by practicing it. Then, your results will ensure that you never lack an invitation to speak. The most successful speakers are those with proofs. 🏆
If you spend your time chasing speaking opportunities, you are not busy doing the deed!☑️
Action Point:
1. What message do you want to share with your audience?🎺
2. React to this post, and share your answer in the comment✒️📒

Chris and Will: Dangers of Talking A Lot
Chris: Doc, people say I talk too much so I should become a speaker!🗣
Dr. Will: I see you have Talkativities, the tendency to talk all the time.🩺🔬
While the desire to talk a lot may show self-confidence, You may
1. Listen less: listening is a strong attribute of a speaker. It is priceless in connecting with your audience.👂
2. Like the “sound of your voice”: you will still be speaking when your audience is done listening.🥱
3. Accept every invitation to speak: wise speakers must speak only in their area of authority.☎️✉️
Extremes are incompatible with public speaking. When you are too silent, your audience forget you exist because you are losing your relevance. And when you talk too much, they tune off, because they need a break.
“The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl” Prov 25:11

Facts: No Kidding! What Happens When You Talk Too Much?
1. Information Overload: 50% of the information presented in a speech is forgotten within an hour, and 90% within a week. Overloading the audience with too much information can worsen this issue. (University of Kansas) 🤯
2. Audience Engagement: the average human attention span has decreased from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds in 2013. This means that speakers need to be concise and engaging to keep their audience’s attention. (National Center for Biotechnology Information- NCBI)😴
3. Fear of Public Speaking: a lot of individuals experience some degree of anxiety or nervousness when public speaking. This anxiety can lead to over-talking as a coping mechanism (greatercollinwood.org)😨😬

Chris and Will: Fear of Public Speaking
Chris: Doc, when I stand before people to speak, my palms sweat, and my knees shake. In fact, my heart beats so fast that my mind goes blank.😱🫣
Dr. Will: I see you have Stage Fright Fever🥵. At its mildest level, people make unnecessary mistakes, and at its critical level, people forgo valuable opportunities due to fear.🩺🔬
Let’s demystify the fear of public speaking.
Fear of speaking is a killer of potentials. No matter how gifted we are, we tend to underperform under fear.😰
It shifts our attention from our capacity to our perceived flaws. 🧐🔦
Research says we are only born with 2 fears- the fear of falling or of a loud sound. Every other fear, we learnt. Our fear of speaking came from our experience or observation. 📊
If you learnt it, you can unlearn it!💯🕺
