I’ll never forget this talk. But what most people don’t know is how much I wish I had done differently—how I could’ve managed my nerves, paced myself better, and handled the tech issues (my mic broke in the middle of the talk!). Over the years, so many people have asked for advice on becoming a better public speaker. So, I decided to gather everything I’ve learned since then and put it all in one place. Check it out at the 🔗 in my bio! #PublicSpeakingTips #PublicSpeaking #TheArtOfPresenting with #SimonSinek

About 15 years ago, I did this. It was a small TEDx event in Seattle, Washington to an audience of about 50 people. What none of us could have predicted, least of all me, is what would happen to that little talk. It became the second most viewed talk on TED.com. Since then, I've probably given over a thousand talks, and I have learned so much more than I knew back then. For years, people have been asking me to give them some advice on how they can become better public speakers. And so, I decided to put all those things, all the things I've learned over the years, into one place. Right here.
