Your Passion is Your Power... Speak it Up
My Blog
I believe big part of why people are struggling in becoming the great speaker they aim to be, is the stereotypes about public speaking.
I've been fighting those stereotypes for years. One of the ways I've been using to achieve this, in addition to my sessions and speeches, is writing articles and daily posts on my different social media platforms.
This blog aims to make you understand the real virtue behind public speaking and to make you gain stronger belief in your ability tp speak up with power and confidence.
