The Untrained Speaker Will Stutter And Stammer…The Pro Will Change The World

All Great Leaders Seem To Agree On One Principle: If you want to be great at something, seek the counsel of men who are great - and then follow their instructions to the letter. Since 1947, the world's best professional speakers, authors, doctors, attorneys, dentists, ministers, accountants, celebrities, professional athletes, business executives, and other professionals have learned the speaking secrets of the masters from the world-famous Bill Gove Speech Workshop.

Standing On The Shoulders Of A Giant…
Bill Gove… 1912-2001

Bill Gove, CSP, CPAE, was recognized around the world as the father of professional speaking. Toastmasters International awarded Bill Gove its Golden Gavel Award in 1991, and called him one of the most popular speakers of the 20th Century. I was fortunate enough to be Bill's business partner from 1996 until he passed away on December 9, 2001, and to speak on stages with him around the world. I can tell you from first hand experience that Bill Gove was the modern day genius of public speaking.

So Here's My Confession…

Let's be honest, ok? Most people would rather die than give a speech. Not literally, but you know what I mean. The possibility of massive rejection in front of a group of people is the stuff many people have nightmares about. I should know, because I used to be one of them. My eighth grade teacher asked me to read a paragraph out loud in class one day, because I wasn't paying attention. I was in love with the girl sitting next to me, and I was daydreaming about her when he shouted; "Siebold!" Read the next page! Now!"

I Turned Eight Shades Of Red, Gasped, and Said…

" What page are we on?"

You can probably imagine what happened next. He slammed the book down on my desk, and started screaming at me like a madman. I was embarrassed, terrified, and shaken…and it was about to get worse. When the teacher finally stopped yelling at me, he pointed to the page he wanted me to read. By that time I was so nervous I couldn't seem to catch my breath. I broke out in a cold sweat, and the words on the page became fuzzy and jumbled… and he just kept screaming as I fumbled and tried to read the page.

I Suffered The Rest Of That School Year…Until The Unthinkable Happened…

I won the 8th grade graduation speechwriting contest and was asked to deliver my speech at the graduation ceremony in front of 500 people. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The thought of being embarrassed and humiliated again in front of my friends (not to mention my family) made me sick to my stomach. I lost six or seven pounds and suffered through the same nightmare every night for a week. The next Monday at school I decided that I couldn't take it anymore, so I walked into the principles office and begged him to let me off the hook. After 15 minutes of crying and pleading with him, he finally agreed. He made an official announcement over the intercom later that day that the contest runner-up would be delivering the graduation speech.

I Was So Relieved And Happy To Be Off The Hook… But I Was Secretly Ashamed… Because Deep Down I Knew That I Had Missed The Opportunity Of A Lifetime.

All because of fear. I lived in a state of panic for the rest of that school year, and for many years after just trying to avoid any situation that would put me in front of more than 2 or 3 people at a time. It destroyed my confidence, my self esteem, and my grades.

I've Kept This A Secret For 23 years…

The reason I decided to share this was because maybe YOU had a similar experience with public speaking, and you're ready to break free. There's a feeling a freedom, pride and power waiting for you on the other side of your fear. Public speaking unleashes the passion inside you, and gives you the freedom to speak up and be recognized for your thoughts and ideas. Once you overcome the fear you'll never be the same. Nothing seems to intimidate the powerful public speaker. Mastery of this skill sets off a nuclear explosion of confidence inside your mind and launches your self-image into the world-class. And here's the economic reality:

If You're Not Out Speaking To Groups About What You Do For A Living…It's Literally Costing You A Fortune

We all know that people do business with people they know, like and trust. Great speakers know how to build a relationship with an audience in the first 5 minutes, and then convert the non-believers to his/her way of thinking. There's nothing more powerful than a speaker who knows how to connect with an audience, move them to action, and convert them into clients for life.

If You've Ever Thought About Doubling Or Tripling Your Income, Public Speaking As A Business Building Strategy Is Pretty Hard To Beat

I've picked up as many as 300 new clients as a result of delivering a single speech. Not only that, but I gave THAT speech for FREE! The money our company brought in from that one free speech was substantial. That's one of the beautiful things about speaking to business groups: You don't have to charge a fee to make money from your presentation. The business you generate will more than compensate you for your time and effort. Groups such as Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, VFW, Chambers of Commerce, Networking Clubs, Women's Business Groups, etc. are always looking for exciting, energetic speakers with something to share with their members. I know people who make a healthy living simply speaking to these types of groups for free and getting paid on the back end from all of the new business they generate from their audiences.

So Here's The Rest Of the Story…

I enrolled in speech classes in high school and college, and eventually began to overcome my fear. The only problem was that the teachers and professors were not speakers, they were teachers; so overcoming my fear took years. So when I decided to become a professional speaker, I went straight to the top: The Bill Gove Speech Workshop. That's where I learned that speaking could actually be fun. As a matter of fact, it's now one of my favorite things to do. But only because Bill Gove taught me the secrets and the tricks of the trade.

Here's What's Happened Since…

23 years after that science teacher humiliated me in class, I'm now speaking to audiences around the world. Some groups are as large as 10,000 people…and I'm making more in an hour than that mean old teacher used to make in a month! More importantly, speaking gave me the confidence to communicate with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Think about it: If you can speak to a large group of people without fear and have fun doing it, why would any one single person ever intimidate you again?

Developing this skill does something wonderful to your belief system. Suddenly, the world opens up to you. The event that you once viewed as a threat is now seen as a huge opportunity. People begin connecting with you because you're charismatic on the platform-which comes directly from becoming a competent presenter. These skills will carry over from your professional life to your personal life…and you'll notice improvements in all areas of your communication.

Speaking Will Always Be The Most Powerful Business Skill…

Because people will always fear and revere it. If I had a nickel for every person who has come up to me after a speech and said. "I would do anything to be able to do what you do up there", I would be a billionaire.

The Threat Of Speaking Is Just An Illusion… But Most People Will Never Realize It…

Because there are very few schools, seminars, or workshops that teach public speaking at the world-class level. The Bill Gove Speech Workshop is by far the most successful in the world in terms of results, with 22 graduates going on to the Speakers Hall of Fame.

You Can Go To Community College…Or You Can Go To Harvard

It's your choice. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with community college. As a matter of fact, I attended a community college my freshman year and I loved it. But honestly, If I had my choice, (and the grades) I would have gone to Harvard, Oxford, or Yale. I'm not putting average schools down, but lets be frank, there's a big difference in the quality of a world-class institution. The great thing about a first-class education is the sheer confidence of knowing you've gone to the top. (And believe me, when you walk on-stage in front a large group, you will CRAVE that confidence) The Bill Gove Speech Workshop will give you an Ivy League education in public speaking. Harvard and Yale produce Presidents and Senators…The Bill Gove Speech Workshop produces Million-Dollar Hall of Fame Speakers.

Now It's YOUR Turn…

If you're terrified of public speaking, would like to take your speaking skills to the next level, or…would like to make a living as a professional speaker, here is your GOLDEN opportunity.
