There are risks in being a great speaker. The standard for what we generally see is so low that we have accepted mediocre-to-poor speakers and presenters as the norm.
What will happen if you raise the bar? What happens when you are excellent?
You’ll stand out. You won’t blend into the background. People will remember you and your message. You’ll be asked to present more often. Your leadership will be visible in a new way.
This is a real question: is that visibility, that excellence, something you want?
