Why, if you want to speak with confidence, you Need To Workout Your Speaking Muscles. #40

In March of last year I started an in person speaker club, the Speak Like a Speaker Club. I wanted to create a supportive space where the introverted and unsure could exercise their speaking muscles and put in the speaking reps!

A gym for the mouth and mind, so to speak.

After all, you speak wherever you speak – networking, boardroom, water cooler or dinner table.

As well as getting speaking practise and feedback, club members play 'get out of your comfort zone' exercises (scary for most!) which give the brain a thorough workout and aid concentration, coordination, and focus.

For this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking I invited along Copywriter, Westrow Cooper, Marketing Consultant, Mark Masters and Creative Business Coach, Christophe Stourton, all SLAS Club members to talk to you about their experience of stepping outside their comfort zones, the process of practice and feedback, and how it's helped their speaking confidence and their business.

Thankfully they have all felt the benefit of practice, feedback, and support. Our conversation highlights the need to push yourself to the edge of your comfort zone, to lean into the fear and to challenge yourself.
