Welcome to The Speaker’s Edge podcast. This is the podcast that's designed to help you learn from some of the very best speakers and communicators in the world so that you can master your message and inspire your audience every single time you speak.
I'm your host for the podcast, Roddy Galbraith, and I'm delighted that you've decided to check out this trailer.
Now, if you're a speaker or a coach or an author or an entrepreneur of any kind really, then congratulations — you're home. This podcast is for you. It really is.
See, I've been a professional speaker and speaker trainer since about 2006, and over that time I've had the opportunity to work with some of the very best speakers and communicators in the world. And since 2010, I've been working very closely with John Maxwell on the Maxwell Method of Speaking.
Over that time I've spoken in many different countries around the world myself, to audiences of thousands and thousands of people — and small audiences as well — both virtually and in person. And I've had the opportunity to coach and train thousands of different speakers as well.
Every year I'll typically work with around a thousand different speakers on their one-to-one stories, their keynotes, their signature stories. And so for many years I've been in this very privileged position where I've had the opportunity to learn the secrets of speaking at the highest level from some of the world's very best speakers. I've been able to see what works for me in my own speaking, and I've been able to see what works best for most people most of the time, because of the volume of training and coaching I do with speakers one-to-one.
So I've wanted to do this podcast for years now, because we've learned so much about what really works and what doesn't. And so I wanted to share it, so that everyone can learn what we've discovered and anyone can get that Speaker’s Edge.
So why not make it a date to join us every week? Thirty-five or forty minutes — we'll give you the practical tools you need to get that Speaker’s Edge.
I think you're going to love the first episode actually: how anyone can develop unshakable self-confidence as a speaker and communicator.
I hope you can join us. I'm very much looking forward to this journey together.
