A brief excerpt from a TJ Walker live-stream in which he, as a global presentation coach, reflects on a common belief people hold in many countries that they are poor public speakers—using his recent work in Egypt to illustrate that this perception is universal and that modest improvement can make one stand out.

Chapters

As a presentation coach, I train people all over the world on how to speak. One of the things I found is that every country, in every country, people believe they are uniquely awful at speaking and at delivering PowerPoint. So here I am this week in Egypt, and sure enough, people I've worked with here say, tj, everyone in Egypt is a horrible public speaker, and they're horrible at delivering PowerPoint. I reassure them. People are awful everywhere. That's the good news about public speaking is if you can just be better than awful, you'll stand out as one of the best speakers in your organization, in your company, even your whole country.
