How to become a Powerful Speaker Public speaking is statistically the greatest fear experienced by people, and that is the reason, how to become a Powerful Speaker is the most widely spoken theme in leadership development. NLP offers a simple solution: Exorcise your fears and exercise your power of speech. If you are looking for an answer to how to improve public speaking skills, then continue to read on.  An author prepares for her first book launch. An economics professor walks up to deliver his final lecture. A bureaucrat-turned politician gears up for an all-important election campaign. A promising sales executive stands in front of his CEO to make a presentation… At this very moment, people like you and me are standing in front of an important audience, ready to deliver a performance that might change the course of their lives. They could soar like eagles. Or they could get tongue-tied, shake in their boots and succumb to the butterflies in their stomachs. Public speaking is the Everest of fears. Famous comedian Jerry Seinfeld highlighted this with a famous joke. He pointed out that studies have shown that more people fear public speaking than death. So if you are at a funeral, you would rather be in the casket, stone-cold and dead, than be the person delivering the eulogy! While public speaking is not easy, it can be mastered through simple techniques and the right attitude. The effectiveness of a public speaker is measured by their ability to attract and persuade their audience. How to become a powerful speaker, also depends on various factors – the speaker’s proficiency, preparation, and the poise with which they approach the stage. Some of us manage to create this magical combination. A majority of us, however, will feel vulnerable, fearing ridicule and rejection – a fear that can paralyze and prevent us from presenting our unique voice to the world. But that same vulnerability can become our most effective tool. As well-known researcher Brené Brown says, “Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.” In other words, we need to ask ourselves if we are ready to be laughed at and still be able to deliver the vital message we wanted to share....

It is “the reality” that you live in, and from which you engage the world of people and things. In simple words, your matrix is the World as you know it from the inside. It is the World that you have received as “real.” Metaphorically, the Human Matrix is a prison for your mind. It is a neural interactive simulation that seems to be all around you.
