Public Speaking Myths to Clear Up Right Now

Myth #6 - I Have Nothing Important To Say

Everyone has a story to tell, a story that could change lives. The unfortunate part is that most of these stories will never be heard, because most people either think that their story isn’t important, or they just don’t have the skill or confidence they need to stand up and speak in front of an audience to bring their story to life.

Everyone has had successes, failures, victories and challenges. Everyone has been happy, sad, hurt and angered. All you need to do is find the wisdom in the lessons you have gained from your life experience and share them with the world. Each of our journeys is unique, never before seen and never to be repeated. Start thinking of your daily activities as a series of lessons, and you will see that you have a wealth of information to share with this world. The world needs to hear your story, and we need to hear it from you.

In chapter three, we’ll discuss how to find the profound in the mundane, by finding life lessons in everyday events to which most people pay little attention. There are lessons all around you, every single day, and these are lessons you can share with others, lessons that could change lives.

Zig Ziglar once said, “You are who you’re and where you’re because of what has gone into your mind.” To find your story, take stock of where you are in your life, and of the person you have become. What events have transpired in your life that molded your character and beliefs? What teachers have influenced you during your life, and what lessons did they teach you? What successes or failures have you experienced, and what did you learn from them?

Each one of us has a lifetime of lessons to share, and the best way to share your life is in your own words. People want to hear your story. They want to know what you know and how you learned it.

So, what’s the lesson? You have a lifetime of lessons to share so don’t be afraid to share them.
