Chris Brady - Public Speaking with Humor
I believe one of the greatest benefits to owning your own Independent Business (IBO) is that you get to learn and get experience in public speaking. This is one of the greatest fears that the average person has. Almost everyone you meet says they will never speak in front of people. But yet almost everyone you meet who does speak in public once felt that way. It does require pushing through some fears but the results are worth it. To conquer one of your greatest fears gives you so much confidence. And it is a skill that you can use in many areas of your life.
The great thing about an IBO business is you get to start off small like 1 person. Then maybe you get to talk to a few at one time. It is just a baby step program. And it is the combination of teaching plus the opportunity for real life application that makes it so effective in helping people learn to speak in front of people.
When I think about a great speaker, Chris Brady comes to mind. I know he has worked on his skills. He does have great gifts but he was worked to develop them. One of his best strengths in speaking is his use of humor. We may not all be as funny as Chris Brady but there is no question that learning to use humor is very important for everyone. For some it requires reading some jokes, for others there are other ways. But no matter how you do it, you must learn to make people laugh at some point if you want to be an effective speaker.
I read this about humor in public speaking...
Why should I bother using humor in my public speaking? Can't I just deliver my information and sit down? You sure can and that's what most people do. The problem is that most people are not effective public speakers. They are nighty nite, snooze inducing, say your prayers, hit the sack, unlicensed hypnotists. They are ZZZZZs presenters. They might be experts in their field and be able to recite hours and hours of information on their topic, but is that effective?
Thank you Chris Brady for your awesome example of speaking with humor!
