James, your post is so on target, it’s not even funny – it makes me want to stand behind you and cheer you on.

First, if someone works for someone else, public speaking skills will translate into being able to sell better, sell you ideas better, lead better meetings, inspire teams, be more confident asking for a raise – I could go on and on.

If you you work for yourself, get out and speak! – speaking is THE best lead generation and lead conversion tool on the planet. If you’re not speaking and you work for yourself, you are leaving a LOT of money on the table.

Best,
David Portney

Hi James,

Great ideas and point of view on how to market your business and yourself through speaking.I started my Public Relations company (www.sueyoungmedia.com) nine years ago and saw considerable growth by speaking and writing (positioning myself as an expert in my field with bylined articles and publicity with “real news stories” and not paid advertisements. Speaking and writing, even when done pro-bono, will attract paying clients, often months and years later.

The bottom line is this: the two most important skills/traits in business and in life are communication and self-confidence. Public speaking will help.

Best regards,
Susan Young

David,

Thanks so much for the comments. You’re absolutely right about speaking being one of the best lead generating techniques out there.

Susan,

Great comments, thanks for sharing. I couldn’t agree with you more about the benefits of pro-bono speaking – you’re right about it being like free advertising.

Does Having a Job Make You a Slave? | Overnight Sensation - Public Speaking, Communication and Personal Development UNITED STATES WordPress 2.9 said,         
January 13 2010

[...] High stress. As someone who has experienced all of these points, you certainly can feel like a slave to the daily grind or a rat in the proverbial “rat race”. Having the infamous “boss from hell” can certainly affect your self-esteem and make you feel worthless. Low pay and sub-par benefits can make you depressed, as can constantly being passed over for promotions. Office politics and tight deadlines lead to stress, anxiety and can destroy your self worth. And nothing keeps you up at night more than wondering if tomorrow will be the day you’re downsized. [...]
