Let's go Okay . So how can I improve my public speaking skills for coaching sessions ?
I love that question .
I actually just helped a client and our coach accelerator through this process , because she had been invited to speak in front of a rather large Facebook group and this was the first time that she was ever giving a presentation , and so what I told her , and what I like to tell people here on YouTube , is to not make it about you , but to make it about your
audience . So whenever I'm speaking in front of a big stage or doing something for the Justice Clearinghouse or any of the other organizations , I always remind myself that it's not about me , it's not about me being nervous , it's not about what do I have to offer . It's always about them , what they're struggling with and how I can best help and serve them .
Because when you make it about the other person , it's not as weird and awkward and you can actually make a bigger impact because you're focused on them versus yourself . Right Cause , very easy to get into . Who am I ?
I'm not qualified and all those other things that our brain tries to convince us to not step into it , but instead get curious about the audience , right ? So for her , I'm like , hey , let's set up a plan to ask them some questions to see what you can actually help them with .
You would be amazed how many people get asked to speak and then they just come up with it all on their own and you don't even know your audience . You don't know who they are , what they want , struggles they're going through any of those problems , right ? You're not going to be able to help them much and you're really not going to be able to connect .
And so for her , we compiled a list of questions and she went and she asked them , and she was so glad that she did , because when she came back , she's like Mark , they're struggling with this , this , this and this and this . And it was funny because in the beginning she was a little like it about them and you didn't make it about you .
So probably the biggest tip that I would give is to make it about your audience , not about you . Now we teach a little bit more in depth inside of the Coach Accelerator .
We have an entire phase where we go through speaking , putting together presentations , how to pitch and all that kind of stuff , and those are all things that we like to talk about , but it all revolves around this idea of make it about them , and when you make it about them . It just makes it so much more beautiful .

Yeah , I also have one thing to say , because this is also something that comes up when you're talking about public speaking , and that is the feeling that people get and the nervousness that comes along when you're asked to talk in front of a crowd of people , sometimes maybe even like a small group in an office . It doesn't matter what it is .
This feeling of anxiety that people get is very , very common . And , speaking of the client that we're talking about , there was this other thing that she talked about that I thought was really , really incredible and I think I should share it .
So she was nervous to do this presentation , she was putting her presentation together , but she had that like nervous energy and what she did was , instead of focusing on it being a bad feeling , like I'm nervous , I'm scared , she flipped it to another type of feeling and that was more excitement , because a feeling is like a vibration in your body right , it's just
our brain is what interprets whatever that vibration is , and for her it was nervousness , but then she turned it into excitement . So it's along the same lines of what Mark was saying , like she made it more about the other people to get the most out of the presentation rather than focusing on herself and how she was feeling .
I love that , and I think it's Mel Robbins who talks about like a feeling of excitement and a feel of fear feels the same way in your body . You just get to decide which one of those paths you want to go down , and that's one of the things that this client of ours is really powerful with she's able to coach herself through that process , right .
That is what we focus on inside of the Coach Accelerator being able to coach yourself so you can rise up to that level . Because when you're the person who's asking others to do that and you're doing it yourself , it really does change the game forever . So , all right , I hope that helped .
