Public Speaker

One of people’s deepest fears is the fear of speaking in public. Over the years, I came to understand how fearless I am when public speaking is in question. It may be due to the fact that I occasionally taught English to kids or individuals, or that I teach martial arts regularly to a small group of students. Working daily as interpreter, on-site, in front of TV cameras, journalists or angry workers, as well as in numerous workshops and meetings may have also contributed to my confident attitude towards public appearances.

Whatever the case, I just love to share my knowledge with others – and I love it when people ask me questions or challenge me during workshops, trainings or in Q&A sessions after I delivered my speech. I also visit different conferences regularly, which helps sharpen my own skills and understand group dynamics – something I pay close attention to and use in my presentations to engage the audience and help them enjoy the presentation.
​
It is extremely satisfying – both for the organizers and for me personally – when people leave a conference room full of enthusiasm: these people will come to the next conference you organize. I get the following; and you get the status of a superstar conference organizer.
