Public Speaking Jobs
Are you considering a public speaking job? Great.
Let me offer you one self evaluation that will help you qualify yourself for the public speaking industry. The great English poet and artist William Blake said it best when he described is professionalism to writing and was so excited about his public job that he wrote these words from his heart one day on his way to work: Sparks emit from my fingertips, in anticipation of my day’s vocation. That is it! Step one in making a decision to go after a public speaking job is passion. It’s as if you have a burning desire to be a public speaker. You should carry a photo of Phil Town in your “speaker’s notes” folder as an example of passion on stage. It’s not because he’s my favorite artist,author and speaker. Phil Town has, in my opinion, a rather wealthy life but still manages to keep that relatable and passionate energy when he speaks to investing audiences.
But one thing I do admire about Janis Joplin is — she had passion. Her passion comes through in her songs. And when I listen to her stirring music, I hear someone who has set her soul on fire. There are many times when I am contemplating making a statement to an audience that may be a bit risky, and I glance down and see Janis, and she literally encourages me, saying: Say it, man. Go for it! Speak like it’s the last time you’re going to public speak. It may be the hundredth time you’ve said these things, but it’s the first time they’ve heard it. So, go for it!
Janis= Passion.Passion,” contends Richard Chang, “is not a privilege of the fortunate few, it is a right and a power that we all possess.” Passion, then, is neither a gift nor a talent. It is a choice, a decision. I suggest that you discover the “Passion Point” in public speaking presentations. What will you feel most strongly about in your public speaking job? This is the Passion Point. Every genuine message must have one. Whether it’s a speech on information technology, on finance, or on natural turf…find it! Find what excites you about it. Find that Passion Point. Highlight or underscore it. Practice it with the great passion it generates within you. Make it something you believe in, and you’ll be on fire every time and keep your audiences enthralled.
Step one in pursuing a public speaking job is to be passionate about getting help and training. I’d like to invite you register for our exciting launch of Presentation Fire Training Course which will launch in early 2009. We have all the resources to help you launch your public speaking career.
Ah yes – PASSION! Life’s energy. So, ahem, when do I start?
I love public speaking, recently I have been more involved in speaking to the students at various campuses (universites) relaying the wise use of credit and effective budgeting, which is one of my talents, I also sit one on one or in a group setting speaking on credit, rates and mortgage loans from an education standpoint. I am interested in obtaining any information which will lead me to this as a career.
Since I began making presentations as a Sales & Marketing Manager some years ago, I found that I have a flare for Speaking. This is an area where a “new” speaker needs as much reassurance as can be got. Thanks for the tips.
