The Public Speaking Secret You Did Not Know You Needed

In a world of hacks and quick wins, secrets of the trade is what everyone wants. Something that will get you from point A to B as quick as possible. The reality is that this is not usually the quickest route to sustainable growth or success.

If you think of public speaking as a ladder. Every speaking rep you have is one rung. With every practice you move up the ladder being able to build on the last and steadily improve. If you take hacks you have a bigger gap to close every time you speak, and if you fail you end up lower on the ladder than when you started. The bigger the gap you are trying to close the more likely is you will fall off the ladder.

The question then becomes how can you get speaking reps in quickly to start climbing the ladder in a sustainable way? The secret answer you didn’t know you needed: Twitter Spaces.

Removing all of your barriers

Fear of judgement or not performing very well are two of the highest reasons people hate public speaking. The ‘what if I screw up in front of people’ feeling is what you are trying to avoid. In Twitter Spaces that becomes way easier because:

• Nobody can see you
• You can be at home, or in a comfortable environment
• You have chosen the topic
• You don’t have any pressure to speak for a long time
• You can have your notes in front of you
