WHY DO I NEED A PUBLIC SPEAKING COACH?

It’s a fair question.  There are numerous coaches out there for life, business, health, fitness, etc. Why do I need one more?  What reasons are there to hire a Public Speaking Coach?

I have an upcoming presentation.

I struggle to share and communicate my ideas with others.

I lack the confidence to stand up in front of others.

I worry that others judge me when I present.

I communicate regularly with colleagues.

I have an upcoming interview.

I am responsible for presenting at meetings.

I am in a position of leadership.

I meet face-to-face with clients.

I am in sales.

I am terrified of public speaking.

So why don't we?  What reasons do we identify with that stop us from investing in ourselves and hiring a Public Speaking Coach?

I am already pretty good at speaking in front of others.

I will never be good at speaking in front of others.

I am an extrovert.

I am an introvert.

I do not have to speak publicly very often.

I am afraid.

I do not have time.

I do not have the money.

I can just wing it.

I get nauseous just thinking about it.

There are a thousand reasons to hire a public speaking coach, and a thousand reasons to avoid hiring a public speaking coach. 

The reality is you will be fine if you never work with a professional speech coach.  You can wing it.  Most of the time.  You can avoid it.  Most of the time.  You will be fine.  Most of the time. 

But sometimes…

Winging it is not enough.

Avoiding it is not an option.

Pretty good doesn’t cut it.

Being an introvert isn’t an excuse.

Being an extrovert doesn’t matter.

Hiring a Public Speaking Coach is about developing a life-long skill allowing you to present your ideas with confidence, charisma, authority, and genuineness.  It is about entrusting a professional to be your first audience member.  It is about discovering your speaking strengths and utilizing those strengths to empower your presentations.  It is about carefully examining verbal and non-verbal habits that may be undermining your ideas, personal story, or business messaging.

You do not need a Public Speaking Coach. 

But…

You will benefit from the expertise of a Public Speaking Coach. 

You will develop confidence with a Public Speaking Coach.

You will be a more effective and strategic presenter with a Public Speaking Coach.

You will present the best version of yourself with a Public Speaking Coach.
