What no one tells you about public speaking

I wanted to share a YouTube video I recorded on a question I get all the time:

“How do I speak in front of others without feeling awkward or losing myself?”

Most people think the answer is:

👉 speak more

👉 prepare more

👉 use better English (for my international professionals)

But that’s not what actually works.

Inside the video, I break it down into 3 simple shifts:

• Read the room first (before you speak)

• Start simple (“Hi, my name is…” + pause)

• Use less words (your presence does more than you think)

This is directly connected to what we train here:

→ not just what to say

→ but how to enter a moment with control

If you’ve ever:

• frozen when attention is on you•

felt pressure to “fill the silence”

• or didn’t know how to start speaking

Then come back here and tell me:

👉 which of the 3 felt hardest for you?

I’ll help you work through it.
