From the Church to the Stage and Back with Malachi Talabi

Episode 41. From the Church to the Stage and Back with Malachi Talabi

How far can you get if you're talented, but not trained? What lessons can you take from speaking in church to a broader audience? Why do some speakers sound robotic and how do you avoid that? 

Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host, keynote speaker and storytelling coach, Francisco Mahfuz.

My guest today is Malachi Talabi.

Malachi is the 2011 UK & Ireland Toastmasters International speech champion and that year he placed 3rd in the world semi-final in Las Vegas.

He has been certified as a World Class Speaking Coach by the great Craig Valentine and is the author of Smash It with a Story, But I’m Not Funny! and Public Speaking Hacks.

Today Malachi helps entrepreneurs and Leaders tell unforgettable stories and give profitable presentations.

You can find him on LinkedIn and on his blog, publicspeakinghacks.com.
