American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:

“All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.”

And while I agree in theory, I think we can come up with a way to reframe the word “bad” when it comes to public speaking.

  • Maybe you’re an uncomfortable speaker.

  • Maybe you’re an unprepared speaker.

  • Maybe you’re an untrained speaker.

  • Maybe you’re a reluctant speaker.

  • Maybe you’re an inconsistent speaker.

  • Maybe you’re a good speaker on the way to becoming great.

  • And maybe you’re a great speaker on the way to becoming exceptional.

If any of those sound like you, you’ve come to the right place – and to the right person!

I’ve taught leadership and executive communication at Wharton Business School, Duke’s Fuqua School of Business, Columbia Business School, and at the Beijing International MBA Program at Peking University.

And I write on leadership communication for Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc, and Psychology Today.
