10 Ways To Speak Without A Stage

Recently, Toni asked a group of entrepreneurs the question: “Who here uses public speaking within your business? And how?” After studying the responses, it soon became clear that many people regard the art of public speaking as something limited to stages and keynote addresses. But it can be used in many different ways. It’s time to stop pigeon-holing public-speaking, and stop assuming that it’s for stage events only.  In this episode, Toni shares ten ways in which you can use your voice and share your message without standing on a stage.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Articles and blogs - Writing is an opportunity for you to share your knowledge, to share your insight and your specialist area. The cost of entry is practically zero, and can earn you huge benefits in return. Social media - There are many ways to engage with social media, one of the most effective being video. But written posts can go viral, too. You can get your voice out there without actually getting your voice out there. Write a book - Everyone has a story to tell. Focus on yours and tell it to the world. You can inspire others and leave a lasting legacy all in one hit. Video - Quite often, video posts are more linked to, and opened, by people searching for messages or information.  Podcasting - Podcasting is a cheap and effective way of allowing your voice out into the world, whether it’s a show you’re creating, or appearances on other people’s shows. More importantly it fits in to your lifestyle and wherever you live. Email - Promoting a product or service, pitching or simply mailing a list to keep them updated, it’s one more way to reach an audience without being on a stage. Conference calls - You can engage with entire groups of people in one fell swoop by appearing on a conference call. You don’t need to be physically present to talk to an audience. Hosting a webinar - The benefit with a webinar is, again, it can allow you to instantly reach a large audience without being present. The bes part is that a single webinar can be re-used over and over again. Networking events - When you are speaking to a small group of people, even socially, you are a public speaker. You don’t have to be on a stage. You just need to be engaging, even if it’s only one person at a time. Your livestreams on social media - It is an opportunity to not just speak to your audience, but to bond and connect dynamically with people who tune in.   BEST MOMENTS ’There are people who make an entire living from creating articles’ ‘You can get your voice out there without getting your voice out there’ ‘Everybody has a story, and people love a hero’s journey’ ‘If you’re on a street corner speaking out loud, then you’re a public speaker' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success   ABOUT THE HOST    Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.
