The thinking for infants and mental health had always been that they were too young to remember any potentially traumatic events. Upon further research, we’ve come to realize that although infants don’t store the memories in the same way, these events are stored in the body and can affect us later on in life.

EP 127 - John McGhee, How Public Speakers Build Rapport

It doesn’t matter how good the information is that you’re providing if you’re not connecting with those you’re trying to reach. Your audience needs to be engaged or they will simply tune you out. There is no in between. Luckily, it’s a skill like anything else so it can be learned and improved upon.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• What it is about public speaking that really draws John in in a different way than speaking from the pulpit
• John’s bits of advice for anyone getting into any form of public speaking
• What John feels that the most important of public speaking is no matter what room you’re in
• Why John feels volunteering in a church is good for any college grad to do and the things they will learn
• Why holding a piece of paper in your hand while speaking is a barrier between you and your audience
• Why you must come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to like you if you want to be a leader
• How indecision will paralyze any leader and why you must learn to make choices

FAVORITE QUOTE:

“ Listen to the people around you. Listen to your advisors. Listen to whoever you trust in your business and then make the best decision you can… Ultimately, you have to make the decision.”
