Inspirational public speakers know how to immediately and ‘effortlessly’ command your attention as soon as they walk on stage, and hold it until their last words are spoken.
So how do they do it?
When the audience is deeply engrossed, they’re unaware that each word, movement, pause, pace and variation of the speaker’s voice, are carefully considered and constructed and practised over and over.
When you’ve been a speaking coach and recognised public speaker for as long as David Julian Price, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s easy to just ‘get on the stage’ and speak because a professional public speaker makes it look like a walk in the park.

If you’re being passed over for promotions, it could be that your speaking skills aren’t as effective as they need to be. You don’t want to be the executive who speaks at an event and the staff cringe at the lack of impact your presentation gives.
If your inner voice justifies you don’t need good speaking skills to progress your career because your qualifications are as long as your arm, David challenges this belief. As a speaking coach, he’s not afraid to push you out of your comfort zone so your speaking skills improve.
People judge your intelligence on your public speaking ability. You may have the best content in the world, but if it’s presented badly, you’ll lose the audience’s respect and be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Whether you present on the platform, in the boardroom or on the local P & C committee, getting your message across clearly is an essential life skill.
