Executive speech coach George Torok
  • Most speakers would deliver a more powerful message if they said less.
  • The leaders we need today are those who can manage when things go wrong. Anybody can manage when things go right.
  • Breathe like a baby. When we were babies, we instinctively knew how to breathe. We filled our diaphragm from the bottom.
  • Forget the oopsies – when you make a mistake – correct and move on.
  • You have all the confidence you will ever need inside of you. It might be hidden deep. You must give yourself permission to let it out.
  • If the speaker sent a message that the receiver didn’t understand – who needs to change?
  • If you portray yourself as perfect – we won’t believe you and we might hate you. We’ll like and trust you when we can see that you’re imperfect like us.
  • PowerPoint is like your presentation suit. A good suit won’t make your presentation successful. A bad suit can destroy your presentation.
  • You need to follow a system to succeed. Raw talent is never enough.
  • The more we see you speak in public – the more we believe you to be a leader.
