the Leach Speech — Fearless Public Speaking

Created 4 years ago in Skills & Management / Public Speaking

If giving a public speech or presentation sounds like the last thing you'd want to do right now, you're in good company. Roughly 75% of the global population shares this same fear.

But what if I told you that while this fear might never go away, it can become more manageable?

My name is Matt Leach and I am an Emmy-winning TV Weatherman and Professor of Communication at Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My job revolves around public speaking and effective/professional communication. I have yet to work with a student or client who is a hopeless public speaker.

I will challenge and push anyone who works with me to step out of their comfort zone, tap into their heart, organize their ideas, and speak fearlessly.

As I tell my students, you may never come away loving public speaking, but give yourself a chance—the more you practice, and the more tools you have under your belt, the stronger and more effective you will be as a public communicator.
