Victoria Labalme
I am always amazed when I get off stage after a speech and people say to me that I am a naturally good speaker. My response always is the same: I smile and say that there isn’t anything natural about it.
No one that you see that is good at speaking in front of people just wings it. To be good at anything, it takes practice over and over and over again. When you watch the Olympic skaters – how many times do you think they practiced that routine- thousands of times? Tens of thousands?
Developing the skill to speak well in front of a group is not just for motivational speakers or professional presenters. It is for every business person. The ability to relay ideas in a clear and convincing manner is a skill that will take you a long way.
