Hello, everyone. This is Ubong Essien, CSP, and the Dean of the School of Eloquence.
Why bother with the discipline of public speaking mastery? The answer is simple: the returns are exponential. There are massive dividends to be reaped that fundamentally alter the trajectory of your professional and personal life.
- The Confidence Dividend: Mastery gives you a massive boost, a major shot in the arm because you now know public speaking. This confidence transfers to every area of your life, from negotiations to networking.
- The Leadership Dividend: In today’s competitive world, leadership is defined by the ability to articulate vision and persuade stakeholders. The eloquent leader commands attention and secures buy-in. You ascend faster when your voice is your most potent advocate.
- The Financial Dividend: The most highly paid professionals are often the most effective communicators. Public speaking skills open doors to promotions, better contracts, and opportunities to monetize your expertise through speaking or training.
- The Influence Dividend: Eloquence gives you the power to shape opinions, drive change, and advocate effectively for causes, ideas, and people you believe in. You move from being a passive observer to an active shaper of your environment.
Do not view public speaking as a chore; view it as the highest-leverage skill you can acquire. The dividends are waiting for those who commit to the work.
