So You Want To Be an Influencer?

10 Tips to Rapidly Gain Momentum as an Influencer Using the Power of Great Public Speaking

If you want to be an influencer, you need to be truly influential!

The way to build influence that lasts is to attract people who genuinely connect with you because of who you are and the messages you have to share with the world. The best way we know how to do this is to become a powerful communicator by mastering the art of public speaking.

Repetition is the key to mastery

The mistake people frequently make is waiting for the ideal speaking engagement to come up before they put themselves out there. The reality is that early on in your career followers and opportunities won’t come to you, you have to go to them. Join speaking clubs and mastermind groups, volunteer to give presentations at work, approach community organizations, do live social media videos. Find opportunities that will give you practice time, because the more practice you get, the better prepared you will be when the big opportunities show up.

It is important to recognize other influencers as your greatest allies.

Professional speaking is a very uncommon career, so mentioning it is a great conversation starter.
