Secrets of a Top Public Speaker

How To Be a Top Public Speaker (Advice From 5-Time Toastmasters Champion Benjamin Loh)

feat. Benjamin Loh, Public Speaking Coach and Five-Time Toastmasters Champion!

What does it take to be a TOP public speaker? We often see amazing speakers like Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Anthony Robbins, and Les Brown in action, but rarely do we know what goes on behind the scenes in their rise to be the top in their craft.

This is why I have invited Benjamin Loh, public speaking coach and five-time toastmasters champion, to share his top public speaking tips in today’s episode of Celes.TV. Ben should be no stranger to you guys, as he has been guest posting on PE in the past three months in the public speaking and communications column:
