You Can Nail Public Speaking Even If You Are Introvert
I’m an introvert but I do public speaking

I’m was born an introvert and I still am. But I do public speaking by training people and conducting seminars. My day job involves everyday coaching and mentoring subordinates. I’m living proof that introverts can compete in the world of the talkative.
Being an introvert doesn’t mean that you can’t talk. You can. You can be a persuasive and effective speaker. You can be better speakers than your extrovert counterparts.
Why?
- You are meticulous and you work on the details of your topic during your solitude;
- You carefully plan the due execution of every single concept to make sure your message reaches your audience the way you wanted to;
- You practice talking 100x in your mind; and
- You don’t leave details to chance
Hence, once you talk you exude confidence.
Tell me, aren’t you like that when you are required to deliver a report or speech?
As I have observed a lot of introverts do better lectures or speeches than extroverts. The introvert’s advantage is the preparation that they give to their talks. They do it anticipating the judgmental crowd that they will face.
For extroverts, their super confidence can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is a plus because they can pull off any speech in an instant. But their confidence can make them give less emphasis on preparation. Thus, it results in an energy-packed speech with scattered messages.
Don’t underestimate yourself. If you are an introvert then I’m sure you can deliver a well-researched, well-structured, and perfectly-timed speech that your audience will love.
Don’t be fazed by the number of people in the audience. You’re not required to brush elbows with them. You came in front of them to convey your message and always remind yourself that it is your primary purpose.
