What do great speakers do that good speakers don't? I caught up with Pat Quinn, speaking coach to legendary speakers like Grant Cardone, Daymond John, and other greats. Here's what he said.
I learn every time I watch a speaker. When I watch the greatest speakers in the world, I learn. And when I watch the worst speakers in the world, I learn because everybody's doing something right. Everybody's connecting in a certain way. And here's something that I'd advise everybody who's trying to get better at speaking to do. The next time you're watching someone speak and they're irritating you with what they're doing, and you know they're good, you know they've been doing it for a while, and. And you're like, oh, this guy just went 10 minutes over. Why does this guy keep only speaking to that side of the audience? Ask yourself why they're doing it. Because if they've been doing this for a while, chances are they found something that works, and you can learn from it if you'd stop complaining about it. So anytime I'm tempted when I'm working with a really good speaker to think, oh, I wish they wouldn't do that, I instead ask myself, why are they doing that? What's working about that? And can I take part of that and implement it into what I'm doing to make what I'm doing even better?
