There is no other skill that will do more to further your career and enrich your life than becoming an effective speaker. It doesn’t matter if you need to give a presentation at work, a sales pitch to a client, ask your boss for a raise, create a podcast or video, or speak to hundreds at a sold-out conference; you need to be an effective speaker to be successful. Speak well and you will command the room and your career. Speak poorly, and you will be lost in the crowd.
