I'm looking for information on giving my presentations, such as body language, facial expressions, how to attract questions, etc. However, I appreciate the excellent and honest material I have received.
By Nina Roloff on 6/3/2018
The advice on taking this to the real world was helpful and it is humbling to be reminded that this is a competitive career choice but I wish there was more advice on how to create a good speech. What makes a good speech good. How to inspire people. I am already fully aware that I am not speaking to make money. What I want to know is how to reach and inspire more people. I do appreciate the free downloadable packets and the end of the course and will take full advantage of them.

The course was interesting - very practical with real life expectations. TJ Walker obviously has experience, and is very plain about building a platform of followers and becoming an expert on a subject matter, in order to achieve success as a speaker. He even states that being a speaker is secondary to becoming a subject matter expert. I liked his suggestion of speaking every day - on a YouTube channel. I think this could also be on FB Live, Instagram videos, or a podcast. Just talk talk talk and try to build a tribe, he says, and you'll achieve both getting experience as a speaker (watching yourself on video) for self-critique, as well as be building a tribe. Not much in the way of assignments, but very good and practical lecture.

This was an excellent introductory course. Very practical and pragmatic. Be prepared for some real world advice on how to get started right now. I was surprised by the advice personally. The only thing that could improve this course would be samples of agreements, terms and conditions, and a discussion of how to structure engagements like, who pays for travel expenses and when, what to ask for at the venue itself, etc. Otherwise, solid, practical advice. TJ is a real pro.

Excellent material so far. I swear that I've probably learned more in the first few lectures from TJ than I have from spending boatloads of money on numerous other info products out there. Thanks a lot; I'm excited about what's to come!
