Episode 12 - No Jacket Required

No jacket required. One of the many albums I had on endless repeat in the 1980s – Phil Collins at the peak of his power in his post-Genesis solo career.  Along with Michael Jacksons Thriller and The Ultravox Greatest Hits album, these were the soundtrack of my teenage bedroom.  I recently rescued these vinyl LPs from long term storage on top of a book shelf in the spare room.  Vinyl is back baby.  In the first half of 2020, vinyl sales exceeded CD sales for the first time since the 1980s.  Although in retrospect I’m not sure what is more surprising – that people are buying vinyl again or that people are still buying CDs!

Somethings never go out of fashion – because they work so well. Chips in a butty.  Biscuits dunked in tea.  Paper note books or post-it notes.

Public Speaking is one of those things.  No other skill will help you advance in your career, champion your cause, elevate your social standing or grow your business more than public speaking.

Warren Buffet said the easiest way to add 50% to your market value is to learn to stand up and speak – and he’s a guy who knows a thing or two about market values!

Here are three things you can start doing that will help you grow your business every time you speak – online and live in the room.
