Leaders need to be able to speak confidently, clearly, and concisely to others - yet surveys show that at least 10% of the US population fears public speaking more than death. Even if that isn't true for you, chances are that you might not be as effective or confident as a speaker as you would like to be. In this new series, we'll look at what you can do as a leader to both speak and present more effectively, and help coach others to do this too.

I started off this episode by talking about how I used to HATE public speaking and feared any speech...for days in advance. My trouble started in third grade and followed me well through college. I describe what I did to overcome these challenges and outlined three steps below that I know will be helpful to you as well.
1) Get in front of people!
I looked for every opportunity to speak when I went to events I volunteered to help out at work in giving recognition to others You could also reach out to charities and non-profits - all need speakers! I didn't mention this in the episode, but becoming an instructor for the Red Cross is a great way to start (I did this!)
2) Find someone who will give you positive reinforcement
Find a friend, colleague, or mentor that will support you regardless of what happens Join an organization like Toastmasters that will give you tons of position reinforcement
3) Get good coaching
Once you're a bit more comfortable on your feet, get honest coaching for someone you trust Attend a Dale Carnegie course - they are the best of the best on teaching people how to speak and present Start to do some teaching...either volunteer work, in your job, or teaching a class one night a week at a community college
