Why Do You Need To Learn About Public Speaking

What is public speaking? It is not just speaking to large audiences, instead we are doing public speaking everyday. Talking to our friends, family, in an interview or colleagues are all part of public speaking and it is definitely a skill that we need to have.

Public speaking or death? Surprisingly people fear public speaking more than death. People found themselves trembling with fear whenever they are called up to speak.

You may think that why don’t we just give up public speaking and that will solve the problem but have you noticed that successful people are always giving out speeches? If you give up on public speaking, that will also mean that you are giving up a huge chunk of your potential to be successful.

Get Applause Now!

Get Applause Now! is created by Andrew Rondeau and public speaking champ, Darren Lacroix. It consist of a 64 pages ebook and 3 audios. (Humor 101,Free to fee, and How to write a winning speech)

Andrew Rondeau has his own business and is a best-selling author and he gets to travel and speak all over the world and Darren Lacroix is a public speaking champ and he won the public speaking competition with 25,000 contestant participating.

You should visit his website and see the videos of him giving presentation. He is fantastic!

What I like about Get Applause Now!

The ebook covers from the start of planning the presentation to delivering the speech and closing. Specific questions that can help enhance your preparation, delivery, post delivery are listed in bullet points so that you can run through it easily. Basically it is just like a check list that you can check through to help you enhance your presentation.

The format is very simple and easy to follow and there are action plans that you can use to help you keep track of your progress. There are also 3 podcast which runs for 300 plus minutes that teaches you how to write a winning speech, injecting humor into your presentation and also how to be more skillful in your presentation that you can charge others a fee for it.

What I don’t like about Get Applause Now!

1. The content is simplified to a short 64 pages ebook and I actually finished the book in around 10 minutes. It may be a good thing also because this ebook is word efficient but that may also mean that some of the important concepts are under explained.

2. Lack of videos. I believe videos of great speeches should be included to let us learn more from successful presentations.

3. Just reading the ebook and listening to the podcast can increase your knowledge of public speaking but not necessary increase your skill of presentation because reading and doing is totally different. It will be great if video conferencing is included for members so they can do a pseudo public speaking via the conference.

Who Should Buy Get Applause Now!

For people who want to start improving their public speaking and just want a product to help them kick start their learning journey, this is the product for you. The tips are practical and helpful and the action plan definitely help to make sure that you are on the right track. One ebook with 300 plus minutes of podcast for a price of only $39.95, it is considered a good buy for the value it provides.

I do think that Get Applause Now! is worth studying and learning from and it comes with a 60 days money back so you can get your money back if you are not satisfied with the value it provides. Therefore there are no risks involved.

Amazing Speech By Al Paccino

Vincent — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:48:46 +0000

A truly inspiring video that I would like to share with everyone. I had watched this video for countless times and I think that we can learn alot of lessons from it. The scenario is the team is losing after the half and the coach is giving his talk to his players. Watch the above video and refer back to the below lessons.

First Abstract

“We can stay here and get the shit kick out of us or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell, one inch at a time.”

Lesson 1

No matter what is your situation in life, you always have the choice to choose to either pick yourself up or just let yourself suffer in despair and keep free falling in life. You have a choice. You, and only you can make the choice and nobody can take it away from you or help you make the choice unless you choose to let them do it. Make the choice, choose what you want in life and create your destiny.

Lesson 2

You don’t aim to make dramatic changes into your life. I don’t believe that anyone can change into a better person with a snap of the finger. Make improvement inches by inches, learn to walk before you run and always remember to make the inch happen.

Second Abstract

“When you get old in life, things get taken from you, but that’s part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff”

Lesson 3

Live consciously and always be aware of what is happening around you. We humans tend to take things for granted when it is just in front of us and we regret only after people or things that we should cherish are gone. It is too late when it is gone, because sometime some things just can’t be replaced. Show gratitude in life, be happy for the little things happening around you and cherish it.

Third Abstract

Life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. There are inches in every break in the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tell ourselves and everyone else around us to piss us for that inch. We crawl on our fingernails for that inch! Because we know when we had all those inches, that’s going to make the f***ing difference between winning and losing, living and dying.

Lesson 4

In this world, there are countless of opportunities, whether it is to be successful, wealthy or meeting the dream guy or girl that you want to spend the rest of your life with. The key is to be ready for the opportunity. Always be prepared and work hard to be prepared to welcome the opportunities with open arms when they come. There are no lack of opportunities, only lack of people who are well prepared to accept the opportunity. Every small opportunity counts in life and don’t ever think of forfeiting small opportunities in wait of bigger one.

If you want to be a successful stand up comedian, you need to start to entertain 5 audiences before you can manage to entertain 100 audiences. It don’t work the other way round. Accepting small opportunities and preparing yourself ensures you that when the big opportunity comes, you are well prepared to catch it.

Fourth Abstract

In any fight, it’s the only guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch”

Lesson 5

The above abstract can be summarize by one word, commitment. How committed are you to achieve something? It is the guy with the most commitment that is able to achieve excellence. You don’t see people who say, “I try”, achieve great results. We see excellent results and achievement from people who say, “I will do it no matter what it takes”. The difference in the level of commitment determines what you get, mediocrity or excellence. Choose your take.

Hope you enjoy the video. Leave any comments or suggestion on some good motivational videos that we can learn from.
