Public Speaking with TJ Walker - Public Speaking Video Lecture - Public

hi I'm TJ Walker and I'm the public
speaking expert for Howcast how did I
get into this well when I was little boy
I was quiet I was shy I basically never
talked to anybody one day I was 12 years
old and I was in junior high school I
entered a fonzie look-alike contest the
character from Happy Days held more hair
back then and I won the reward was I got
to do the junior high school TV newscast
the next day the Bicentennial minute is
back in 75 and this was my first taste
at being in front of the camera first
taste of dealing with the media and you
know what I found that I liked it a few
months later I ran for student
government the student council and I won
and I found myself giving speeches and
presentations and soon after became a
student government leader for the whole
school and was routinely speaking in
front of 1,200 students and ever since
then nearly 40 years later everything I
do in some way relates to speaking to
the media or speaking to live audiences
I found that I enjoy it it's fun I'm a
little weird I'll admit it most people
can't stand the idea of giving a speech
it makes people nervous to give a speech
I get nervous if I go more than two days
without giving a speech or without going
on TV or radio I love it I enjoy it and
I like helping other people do it now
unlike a lot of trainers I try to
actually practice what I preach so I go
every week on radio and TV talk shows in
fact a couple of years ago I actually
set the Guinness Book of Records for
most talk show appearances ever in a
24-hour period did a hundred and
fourteen talk shows in just 24 hours so
I try to continue to practice what I
preach I do train people like you and
others all over the world
I train presidents of countries prime
ministers Nobel Peace Prize winners even
Miss Universe on how to speak more
effectively and believe it or not
everybody is actually the same everybody
wants the same four things when it comes
to learning how to speak they want to
know how to look comfortable confident
relaxed not nervous stiff or scared they
want to know how to be understood when
they're speaking they want to know how
to make their message more memorable and
they want to know how to get people to
take the actions they want that's what I
teach people and it is so much fun
because I get to learn about new
industries new people travel the world
so I train people it doesn't matter if
they're in Paris Dubai Mumbai all over
the world and right here in New York
City if I can help you speak more
effectively I would love to do it
because I share the secrets I've learned
over the last nearly thirty years with
every person I train the real training
comes not from me giving you a lecture
telling you don't do this it comes from
us doing practice speeches on video
practice interviews on video we watch it
we figure out what works what doesn't
work doing that again and again that's
what will make you effective that's what
I do so if I can help you please reach
out to me you can find me at media
