153: You are the vehicle for the message | Overcoming public speaking nerves with Yvonne Adele

In the previous episode of REPUTATION REVOLUTION, we focused on the importance of content and the role it played in building a personal brand of substance and meaning.

In this episode, we extend that theme, with emphasis on public speaking.

According to Psychology Today - our fear of standing up in front of a group and talking is so great that we fear it more than death, at least according to some surveys.

Yowzer!

But public speaking also provides professional experts and aspiring thought leaders with a tremendous opportunity to build personal brand visibility, influence and trust.

Indeed, if you're any good at it, speaking can become a solid source of revenue.

In short, public speaking is an important cog in a business leader's reputation marketing arsenal. Many of us might not like getting up on stage to present to an audience, but there is no doubt it's a powerful medium to grow your influence and create more impact for your personal brand.

In this episode, host Trevor Young, aka 'The PR Warrior', unpacks his journey from "I hate public speaking" to professional keynote speaker with national and international speaking gigs under his belt.

Today, Trevor enjoys speaking from the stage, but that was not always the case!

Then leading Australian speaker YVONNE ADELE pops into the Reputation Revolution house to share valuable tips and advice as to how aspiring thought leaders can overcome their speaking nerves and take to the stage with confidence.

Yvonne says of speakers: "You are the vehicle for the message".

She also shares her thoughts on whether or not you should seek the services of a speaker's agent, and gives her tips for better on-stage performance.
