Speak with Confidence - Mike Acker pt 2
Speak with Confidence
Mike Acker pt 2
One of the best ways of helping other people is to share your wisdom, your knowledge and your experiences with them. That allows them, to basically, learn from your experiences and mistakes and move closer to reaching their goals faster, than trial and error and learning on their own.
Podcasts is one way of doing that. Which is why I love interviewing Christian influencers and allowing them to share with you.
Other than podcasting, public speaking - at events, meetings, conferences, etc., is truly beneficial. Usually, you will have a chance to meet the speaker and, well, overall – it is just a great way to learn and to network. Amen!
But, for some people, the idea of standing up in front of a group of strangers and sharing details from your life is, well, let’s just say “nerve wracking!” Some people would rather jump off a bridge than stand up in front of people and start talking, let alone teaching…
If that sounds like you, I’ve got some good news for you today!
Our guest today is Mike Acker. He is the son of drug dealers, turned NGO leaders (NGO means “Non-Governmental Organizations” that fight against the drug pandemic). Today, Mike is a keynote and TEDx speaker, executive coach and the author of nine books, (that’s right – NINE BOOKS)! including the best-selling “Speak with No Fear,” which spent three years as Amazon’s top book on overcoming fear of speaking and was also listed in Forbes “7 Books That Will Help You Conquer the Fear Of Public Speaking.” Known for his authenticity, humor, and engaging presence, Mike has over twenty years of experience as a speaking coach, leadership coach, and public speaker. He is also a former pastor and has worked with and supported several non-profits and relief organizations.
His most recent book is “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience.” Praise God! Today is part TWO of an amazing two part interview!At what point did you decide to get into public speaking?
Let’s talk about your recent book, “Speaking with Confidence.” Why did you write and publish book now, at this point in your career?
Over the course of time, you developed a framework for Executive Presence and Speaking with Confidence. Can you share about this framework with our audience?
How is it different from your other books and, for that matter, other books on this topic from other authors?
I noticed in your book that you share with your readers how to “make a personal investment” in their topic they will be discussing to ensure success. Can you share a little bit about that?
How do you get someone from, let’s say, “suffering from stage fright” to delivering a successful presentation?
Who should be purchasing this book and what will it do for them?
Mike, this has been so interesting. I love how you were able to put, what can be a complicated subject, and just simplified it for your clients and your readers to help achieve success a lot faster than just “trial by fire,” that many do.
How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience?” Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to get in touch with you, perhaps to ask a question or look into your coaching programs or maybe to do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
Folks, Mike Acker has put together, for lack of a better word, I’ll say the “perfect program” to help you become the speaker, the coach, the executive or business owner that you were destined to be. He has used his years of experience and his background to hone the specific skills of success in these areas. He has provided all of this information into his book, “Speak with Confidence: Overcome Self-Doubt, Communicate Clearly and Inspire Your Audience.”
You need to drop down into the show notes and order your copy, right now, while you are thinking about it. This book will be a blessing to you or to someone you know. Amen! Maybe order two or three copies, one for yourself and pass the others out. Amen!
