myself and Op are in the same boat. Motivational speaking ,writing and poetry are my thing. I am learning from the advises too. Op can we connect? A tree makes no forest

Lot of silly comments here,if you have nothing sensible to offer its best you say nothing


Going for submit conferences/seminars will be of immense importance. If you are a graduate you will surely stand out if you are really good at what you do. Having a professional course could also boost up your charisma.

I have done MC in few occasions, but it is not what i'm talking about. I like the apprenticeship part but i don't know anybody that specializes in that.

For the NCE part check well again

Ok seen

uncleck:
Sorry at the moment i can't Whatsapp, can you mail me on uncleck7@gmail.com?

plz check your mail box, I just sent you mail. Thanks

SillyeRabbit:
Guy do this. Address serious issues, create few minutes videos on them by recording yourself, upload on YouTube and monetize them. Before you know it, you will have hundreds of thousands of people following you over there and making money (in $). Nobody in Nigeria is doing this now.

Hey, doesn't have to be serious issues all the time. But should be attention-grabbing. Gerrit ?

I like your point of view. Who are you?

Those of you saying he should get a degree should read his post again. he already has a degree. Moreover, you don't need a degree to be successful. Talent is much more important which I believe the op already has. Honestly, university education in Nigeria is over hyped.

mentorandfriend:
Hello dear. Fine morning to you. I have few words for you.

The call to significance is at the root of our calling; all of us. We must get down to it.

First of all, talent for speaking, which I'll rather call eloquence is not enough. Your talent must be hooked up to a purpose. A purpose in the sense of WHAT SPECIFIC THING DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS IN THE SOCIETY?

Yes, you're eloquent. You're a wordsmith, but how much of those words will connect to, and solve people's problems? This can only happen when you identify a specific problem in the society you wish to address.

An instance. I have no business talking about relationships, love, etc. I speak on leadership, character, purpose, etc. I am solving a problem. Sit down and build your brand on paper first. WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING?

Secondly, prepare yourself. Some speakers speak once in a week or twice in a week, and that translates to about just two to four times a month. This is not enough to hone your skills.

Hone your talent by volunteer-speaking. While some people speak four times in a month, I speak for about twenty times in a month by volunteering to speak for free in departments and faculties, secondary schools inclusive. Sometimes, I appear uninvited and plead for audience. Guess what, I end with a standing ovation, always always. Private victories precede public victories. This method of speaking at random, solicited and unsolicited will make you a better speaker than all these wannabees who are waiting for a big break.

Three, grow your visibility by connecting to other men and women of purpose. Whenever you come across someone doing what you want to do, never fail to exchange contacts, and call him/her same day. Keep in touch. People of like passion refuel you, and position you for profit. It just takes one invitation from any of them to come speak somewhere, and you will deliver and more doors will open.

Finally, this is your calling, and it is your gift. You determine who has access to your gifts; no trespassing. Seriously place a price on your gifts. People respect what costs them.

And then I will add this: STAY AWAY FROM RELATIONSHIP SCANDALS AND SEXUAL ESCAPEDES. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN. Speaking has to do with selling your integrity to your listeners.

And sure, I hope you have a blog/website sir? Very neccessary. To your success sir.

Thanks a lot for your candid advice

crispel contact me as soon as you can, I'm very close to LASU intending to hold a program there. 08137034802

Bros, I advise you to get a professional certificate in public relations. I think the body is NIPR, not very sure but you can search for yourself. Good luck

start by going to different branches of your church to talk to d youths...
Get d youth leader of other churches to give them talks too.
soon you'll be a pastor

uncleck:
I am a very proficient and skillful public speaker. When I deliver a talk, lecture or speech they are always very sound, logical, eloquent, coherent, consistent, highly persuasive, analytical, motivating and inspiring. I arouse and sustain peoples’ interest from beginning to the end. I normally draw an outline which usually follows a definite order starting from introduction to conclusion.

It does not matter who the audience is; I can speak even to the council of heads of states if given the opportunity. I have a very wide understanding of the society. I have an NCE in Economic and political Science and a degree in Education (History/Int’l Studies).

With this skill I want to go commercial. What are my chances? Matured comments please.

Hi, I love your ambition, I also plan to be a professional speaker at some point in my career. It's a good way to share ideas and stuff.
I suggest you get an area of specialty, where you are 100% qualified and knowledgeable to speak about anytime.
One way to kickstart a career in public speaking is to offer to speak for free. it's a bit hard even to do that, but there are opportunities around. Offer to speak at events, conferences, etc. all for free. Network appropriately in these events, and increase your network of people.
Follow accomplished public speakers like Brian Tracy, he is my personal favorite. Probably the most prolific public speaker of all time.
Ever thought of going into sales? You can be a technology evangelist
My startup might be needing people like you soon I just hope you won't be too expensive, at least from the beginning. you can send me a pm if you like, I'll like to add you to my people list
And oh, just a second thought. You ever heard of toastmasters? It is an international organization for public speakers, I don't know if they have active branches in Nigeria. I am currently on exchange studies in Korea, and I am a member of one of the branches in Seoul, and it is very cool. In fact, we have a meeting tomorrow and I am due to speak Try to see if they have such in Nigeria, preferably around you and make yourself an active member. It will give you a sound platform to practice your skills and to network.
I am quite good at speaking too, and I'm famous in my club here in Seoul.
I would also encourage you, public speaking is one of the most lucrative things around, and it is highly desirable even if you work for a corporation or something like that. Keep hustling, and God bless you. I added a few photos from my toastmaster club

Great, I'll reply. One last thing, practice hard brother, I cannot emphasize this enough.

Hmm! Boss why na

lol....

great advice. I was once like this, directionless and in need of advice. in the process of conducting researches online, I stumbled upon fordax training academy based in Lagos. In my time with the academy, I can authoritatively state that i was transformed. If you're seeking to sit in a class where public speaking is taught, I would recommend fordax, their Lagos program has really helped.

In this era of social media You have the best chance

You seem to have a lot of experience as an orator if you describe your speeches as being flawless and impecabale. However, you haven’t mentioned how many speeches have you done in your life and on what topics. I’m an HR manager in a public speakers bureau. We are currently looking for some candidates who could join the orator team. According to your self characterization you seem to be the perfect candidate for this job position. In case you are interested we can discuss further details by email or over the phone. If I interested you, reply to this message and I’ll contact you as soon as possible.
