Public Speaking - A Very Useful And Powerful Skill
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a good week so far?
For the last 3 days I was engaged on public speaker training with Jim Francis and Miles Grant from the Assets For Life organisation in Essex England.
I have met and know Jim Francis reasonably well, but I had not met Miles before.
Jim has been and is a very successful businessman who is an ex Tony Robbins franchisee and who has built mutliple businesses and been mentored by numerous millionaires and a couple of billionairs. His track record is very impressive.
Both Jim and Miles were very capable expert speakers, and they influenced me tremendously over the 3 day training, and coached me and the other 20 or so people who were on the training with me.
I also host a regular property event every month, called the Property Investors Network Portsmouth (England) meeting, and there were 20 or so people at my event yesterday evening as well.
Normally there are 2 speakers at each of my events, and 1 of these failed to attend as they were delayed travelling, so i got the opportunity to give a fairly impromptu presentation of one of my own property case studies to the audience. The presentation seemed to be well received, so my training, coaching and practice at public speaking during the previous 3 days had paid off already.
I am scheduled to do another 4 days of speaker training with Andy Harrington, who is a top public speaker and coach and mentor in the UK at the beginning of next week. So by the end of next week I expect to be even more practiced and polished at public speaking.
There are so many people that I know who have made large amounts of money as a result of their public speaking capabilities, that I have no doubt that it is something that can benefit me - the skill of being able to speak to sell!
I first started attending events where I saw this sort of skill being used in 2018 when I attended large events organised by an entrepreneur called Andrew Reynolds who has made more than $80m from public speaking and online sales, and these events were located at the Excel Centre in London England, and also at the Brighton Confrence Centre in Sussex, England.
Since attending those events I have also started to follow some of the speakers that i saw and heard at Andrew Reynolds events. These were such expert speakers as Pat Mesiti, Paul O´Mahony and Simon Coulson. All of these individuals have made a lot of money from their own online events and public speaking.
I believe that if i can master the skill of public speaking, and particularly speaking to sell, then it will make a dramatic difference to the success of my business.
@Jim Francis follows a 1:1:1 model that translates as 1 Product: 1 Funnel: $1million.
Even with one product, I could dramatically increase my business revenue and profitability, and since I have several products the possibilities are enormous provided I can focus and get all the variables aligned.
I have also seen @SimonZutshi speak on very many occasions, and I admire his ability to speak with an in depth knowledge about any property subject. His talks are always well prepared and his organisation usually provide workbooks for attendees to complete with some missing words to that students can listen and learn and the act of writing in the workbook compounds the effectiveness of the learning. This sort of public speaking and coordinated training is extremely sophisticated and takes a lot of preparation.
If this post appears to be going on and on, it is only for me to conclude that there are so many examples of professional public speakers in many walks of life, and at different skill levels and one thing that they all have in common is the power to convey a message succinctly and to influence their audience with their respective stories.
Apart from blogging and vlogging, this opportunity of public speaking and influencing people 1 to many is an enormous opportunity that I would like to take advantage of.
If you are able to get videos of your presentations and post them on Youtube or another similar platform then your content is there indefinitely as well, which is extremely powerful potentially.
Enjoy the forthcoming weekend, wherever you are in the world.
Cheers
Alan

Whether it's in writing a post, a phone call with a potential client, or in front of a group of people (I do the same as a corporate training and seminar presenter) etc.
Thanks for sharing!
That's a very helpful skill to learn, Alan. Bet it was interesting! Enjoy the rest of your week.
