You and I need to become better public speakers and leaders regardless of our profession and position. Public speaking is not only limited to pastors, priests, preachers, professors and politicians. Leadership is not only those of top ranks or high positions.
All of us – at certain points in our lives – have spoken and lead, and will speak and lead in various occasions for various reasons.
Let us journey together. Let us build a better community with better speakers and leaders at a time.
Let us continue to Speak a Message, Spark Inspiration, and Spur Action!
First, speak. We need to speak a message. In whatever we do and speak about, our message should be very clear. It is important that we stand our ground and give that message. Speak up as necessary. Do not silence yourself. There is a time to shut up but there is also a time to speak up. Let us learn to speak a message.
Second, spark. We need to spark inspiration. Speaking your message comes with the responsibility to lift people up. There are already tons of problems in this world. There are already countless bad news. While we do not deny or cover those up, it is essential that we speak a message of hope, of inspiration to our audiences and to the people around us. Let us learn to spark inspiration.
Third, spur. We need to spur action. Our message that comes with the message of hope should lead us to move people to action, an action that is based on sound decision for the betterment of life and of the community. The message and inspiration shall be made full with the action that is spurred because of what we are able to speak and spark. Let us learn to spur action.
“My friend, join me! Let us journey together for something better and deeper. Let us journey together to speak a message, spark inspiration, and spur action. Let us journey together and build a better community one better public speaker and leader at a time.”
Intentional Growth
I believe in continuous growth with intention. That’s what I do and what I help others to do, particularly in the fields of public speaking and leadership.
I serve as a coach, speaker, and trainer in those areas.
Admittedly, I lacked confidence and competence to do these things before. But growth is possible if we choose to.
Public speaking and leadership skills are skills that can be learned, competencies that can be developed, and the confidence related to them can be gained.
You simply need to understand the overarching philosophy, implement the framework of practices, and partner with a person who has the heart to teach, inspire and guide you to transform your skills and be the best of who you can be.
Let me be your partner in your journey of growth.
