Increase Your Visibility with Public Speaking

How to Increase Your Visibility with Public Speaking

As an author, entrepreneur, or coach one of the best ways to boost your business success is to increase your visibility with public speaking. I have given hundreds of presentations during a lifetime of being a paid speaker, attorney, and seminar presenter.

Therefore, if you want to increase your visibility then get started with public speaking today.

Do not put this off because you find it to be uncomfortable.

Sometimes you must do what is uncomfortable, if you want to achieve uncommon results!

Perhaps you are like me. I put off doing things that are unfamiliar.

To address my unpleasant habit, I am starting a 40-Day Procrastination Fast.

This is not your typical fast where I give up food. During this fast I am giving up an unpleasant habit that I have developed.

I call my unpleasant habit my “Scarlett O'Hara Syndrome.” I put off today, what I can do tomorrow. Sometimes, tomorrow never comes.

So, starting today, all those projects that have been piling up and never accomplished, get ticked off one at a time.

The first project on my list, is this blog post.

Increase Your Visibility with Public Speaking Today, Not Tomorrow

Today, my focus is public speaking. Nothing helps you gain greater visibility and authority than speaking in public. You must start to increase your visibility with public speaking today.  Do not wait until tomorrow.

Is putting off public speaking your unpleasant habit? If so, then join me in this 40-Day Procrastination Fast. Grab the opportunity today, to increase your visibility with public speaking.

Seek out opportunities to share what you know.

If you are an author, small business owner, entrepreneur, or life coach you must leave the comfort of the computer, or wherever you hide out. If you want greater visibility, then stand up and be seen.

Look for Public Speaking Opportunities at Your Church

You can volunteer to speak at your church to increase your visibility.

Speaking in front of people who already know, trust, and like you, will increase your visibility and build your confidence. With increased confidence you can begin to add other public speaking opportunities.

For the past 3 weeks I have had the opportunity to present a three-minute segment, called “The Black History Moment.” I have shared stories and historical facts about African-Americans in Times of War. My focus has been on World War I because this year is the 100th anniversary of “The War to End All Wars.”

The opportunity to speak in front of a church audience should not be taken lightly. It is a great privilege that should be undertaken for the right reasons and provide value to those present.

Look for Public Speaking Opportunities at Local Service Clubs

Check out your local service organizations, (Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis) who are looking for speakers every week. Volunteer to speak at their meeting.

Local libraries, business associations (like the Chamber of Commerce), and civic associations are always looking for speakers. Therefore, contact those types of organizations in your local community.

Be bold in your commitment to increase your visibility with public speaking. Do not the fear of doing something unfamiliar hold you back from your destiny.

Prepare a 15-20- minute signature speak that you give on your topic. As you continue to give your speech, you will get better. Remember that preparation is the key.

At my local rotary Club, for the past several weeks, I have given a 3-minute introduction of our guests that highlights them and the best aspects of Rotary International. The perception of me as a leader, increased exponentially as I stepped up and showcased my public speaking ability.

Tackle Your Fear of Public Speaking

If you are afraid of public speaking, I say, “Just get over it.” You must learn to tackle your fear of public peaking.

If you want to elevate your business, then you must showcase your expertise. Let the world, or at least your community, know of the experience and expertise that you offer.

As an entrepreneur, you are a leader. As a leader you can not sit on the sideline. Instead you must learn to transform your mindset from an employee to an entrepreneur as you “Step into Your Power.”

You can quickly overcome your fear of public speaking by scheduling yourself to regularly speak. The more frequently that you engage in public speaking, the more confidence you will develop.

Conclusion/Call to Action

Jumpstart your success by beginning to increase your visibility with public speaking. This is the best way to build your authority status as a recognized expert in your community. Standing in front of the room, gives you credibility and visibility.
