10 Tips For Public Speaking: Tip #1 You Are the Medium [E080]

Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeIn Our Episode Today:A water bottle mishap lead to a backpack saturation which caused me to have to air out my bible outside of it’s jacket… and in the process - I uncovered a Toastmasters ‘bookmark’ that has “10 Tips for Public Speaking,” I had planned and been drafting episodes on that topic before I left some of the ideas behind to pursue other scenarios - and today it dripped back into my mind and flowed into some additional inspiration.The thing is… I disagree a little on tip #1.Tip#1 says: Know your material.My suggestion - tip #1 should be: Know Thyself.I get it, and so do you, it’s not a bad tip… but it probably the least significant reason I see people struggling with effective communication. More often - I see bored or burnt out subject matter experts with no passion for what they do, or worse… resentment…In this episode, I’ll reference some inspiring material from multiple influential figures on my journey, and we’ll ask a proper question: Are you just doing this for the paycheck?KEY INSIGHT: If you have tension, nerves, and are just doing what you do for a paycheck - it WILL come through in your work - even at a subconscious level as listeners, we can detect this in a communicator.We all need a paycheck, but there are many ways to get those, why you do what you do matters because how you feel about it comes out in your work.Word of the Day:Conviction - noun.A firmly held belief or opinion; the quality of being certain about what you believe or do.Why it fits: The entire episode is about the difference between intellectual agreement ("I believe vehicle safety matters") and embodied conviction ("I KNOW my professional responsibility"). Conviction is what transforms tasks into purpose.I hope you’ll reach out to me with YOUR answers to “What is YOUR Job.”I’d love to hear them!Sincerely,Craig O’NeillThank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundAutoFlow at AutoFlow.com.
