Manage episode 243903571 series 2440317
In today’s episode, Toni asks the thought-provoking question, can an introvert be a public speaker?
It’s a common misconception that in order to be a good speaker in public, you have to be extroverted, but that isn’t the case. Listen on to find out why...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Extroverts are outgoing, socially confident, they get involved, and they like to talk. Introverts are seen as shy and socially awkward.
- Winston Churchill, Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln are among the greatest speakers of all time. But they were also self-professed introverts.
- Introverts spend much time alone, which actually serves them well in terms of time for research, writing, prepare and refine and practice.
- The audience wants you to succeed. Even if you look a little nervous this can sometimes work to your advantage, because people will will you to succeed.
- If you’re an introvert, it makes you hyper self-aware, and this can only be a good thing when you’re a speaker. You’ll more than likely feel more connected to your audience
BEST MOMENTS
- ‘Speaking is not an act of extroversion’
- ‘An introvert looks inside to draw their energy’
- ‘People buy into you because they can see your authenticity’
- ‘Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa had the ability to listen to their audience’
- ‘Remember, the audience wants you to succeed. It’s in their interests and yours’
