Show Notes:
The promise of technology is that it’s going to improve teamwork. But it’s teamwork that gives rise to technology to start with.
Technology doesn’t coach itself.
Information technology is the fastest growing industry in the world. Coaching is the second.
In coaching other entrepreneurs, you become a better entrepreneur.
Doing speaking engagements means reaching more people.
Speaking is a skill that lives inside of you and goes with you wherever you are.
Your reason for doing something has to be greater than your fear of doing it.
Whenever you speak, people are subconsciously making snap judgments on your competency based on your communication skills.
It’s important that you treat every speaking opportunity as a high-stakes presentation.
If another person is willing to give you their attention, you owe it to them to be good.
Every time you speak, it’s an opportunity. You don’t know who’s in the audience.
Whenever you open your mouth, it’s an audition for leadership.
Delivery is only about 20% of what goes into being a great speaker.
To be an incredible speaker, you have to be an incredible content creator.
When you think differently, you become different. And when you become different, you do different.
