You know the kind I mean… the ones who are soooo concerned with looking the part, wearing the “right” clothes, telling the most engaging stories, and being, well, impressive. Now, don’t get me wrong. Looking  professional and speaking with authority is what it’s all about in this business. The question is – how authentic are some of these speakers?

As NSA members, we attend chapter meetings to learn, to embrace our profession, and to improve our platform skills. But to what purpose? Certainly not to become clones of other, more successful speakers, but to become who we truly are, in our own unique skins.

Gaining confidence and a sense of comfort in front of an audience is the ideal place to be. But maybe some of us need to “chillax” a bit in the process. When we develop our own style and look, as well as our own way of telling stories and engaging audiences, we can really allow our personal brands to flourish and become our authentic selves as speakers.

What do you think? Do you believe that you have developed your personal brand and style as a speaker?
