"Speech is power: Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who we are
73% of the world’s population struggles with “glossophobia,” or a fear or anxiety of public speaking. As many of you know, this can negatively affect your social life, your career, and often times, your mental health. Effective communication is KEY to a happier and more successful life, overall.
I can vouch for this. I have done a LOT of different types of public speaking in front of a variety of audiences. I am a Patent Attorney with a background in biomedical engineering, an adjunct law professor, a public speaking coach for children and adults, and a stand-up comic. I have worked and presented at law firms, fortune 100 corporations, court rooms, universities, schools, and comedy clubs. I can tell you that in addition to my academic background, what has ALWAYS made me stand out amongst my peers are my public speaking, presentation, and general communication skills.
How many times have you been passed up for a promotion or opportunity for a lesser qualified individual who is a great communicator? Which leaders, whether in politics or the corporate world, are not confident and engaging public speakers? Also, think about social situations. The “life of the party” is a confident and comfortable speaker, and makes friends easily because he/she is NOT afraid to have a conversation with new people.
