Humans are born communicators. From the very beginning of life, we express
ourselves with sounds, words, tones, movements and gestures. Consider for a
moment the qualities most children have when they first begin to speak. They
are honest, authentic, uninhibited and fearless. It’s their need to be heard and
understood that drives them to communicate. Being liked or agreed with is
secondary until parenting and societal influences make children second-guess
themselves.
If you’ve had a nerve-wracking public speaking experience, you might have
begun to think you are simply not good at public speaking and never will be.
You may also believe you do not have what it takes to be a great speaker. Or
that you are lacking innate qualities that others seem to possess. Theseconclusions are not based on logic. They are based on an emotional reaction to
a feeling of having failed. Let’s move on from that feeling by bearing a couple
of truths in mind.
The first truth is that everyone at some point has felt like a failure after
giving a speech. If that wasn’t the case, I would not have written this book. The
second truth is that you already possess the core qualities you need to access in
front of an audience. These qualities are already a part of who you are. They
may have been suppressed or made dormant as you focused on developing
other qualities for your career. However, with training, you can access these
qualities again and learn how to further develop your public speaking skills.
