Episode 19: Brenden Kumarasamy - How to be a Great Public Speaker

Gold Nuggets in this Episode: The art of presentation is always fundamental to business owners. The first step to mastering public speaking is to shift the conversation about why the fear of public speaking exists. We've been conditioned to view public speaking as a responsibility, a chore, and as something we don't enjoy, as opposed to using public speaking to make an impact and to scale ideas that matter to us. The greatest speakers present the same presentation hundreds of times. You can have an unlimited number of passions, but you only have a limited number of decisions. Brenden talks about a 3-step framework that we can use to improve the foundations of our public speaking skills. "If we're only going to live one life, how about we do something interesting with it." A great exercise to put things in perspective is to write your own eulogy. How will people remember you when you're gone? Steve tries to change a question, and Juliet puts her foot down. "Communicate the weird things that you do on a daily basis to everyone else around you, that is not illegal, and it will help remind you that you are different and you're meant to be doing different things." "Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools speak because they have to say something." - Plato Our guest is Brenden Kumarasamy, founder of MasterTalk. He's setting out to help people overcome their fears and master the art of public speaking in order to scale their ideas and become successful.   Song by Adam Vitovsky / CC BY 3.0
