Get To the True Point and Speak with Greater Ease

By Guest Expert Joel Schwartzberg

I’ve found through my years of public speaking training that people often don’t know what the point is. They confuse it with a theme or a title or a topic. If you don’t have a point to your presentation, you render yourself pointless. It doesn’t matter how funny or interesting or charismatic or attractive you are if you don’t have a true point to make you’re not going to succeed. In the following video, I share my tips on how to develop your point so that you can speak with greater ease.
