Peter Billingham | Public Speaking Coach for Entrepreneurs
#25: Do you have desire to become a speaker, or even just to communicate more effectively as business owner / entrepreneur?
IF yes, you are in for a treat. :) Today’s guest is Peter Billingham, the Public Speaking Coach for Entrepreneurs. He helps entrepreneurs become better speakers by writing speeches for them and coaching them how to deliver the material. (online/face to face) Many business leaders/entrepreneurs are very passionate and knowledgeable about their subject matter but do not have communications skills that allow them to clearly articulate, engage and call an audience to action. I met Peter in person twice as he was the MC for New Media Europe Conference and did such a fantastic job. As we chatted further, I figured he has massive experience in this area with a very interesting journey as well. In today's interview, you would find us in a more layback conversation, but we covered some important topics such as:
- The common mistakes of new speakers and how to avoid them
- How I practiced for my stage time on John C Maxwell event and got standing ovation in a 700 plus crowd.
- Peter’s secret “sticky” technique as event MC and professional speaker to be memorable in audience’s mind.
Now, let’s chat with Peter.
Key Lessons:
- The common mistakes of new speakers and how to avoid them
