Summary

#889 In business and in life, we need connection to thrive. So what is the number one superpower for building deep relationships? The answer is communication! That said, it's not enough to become a great on-stage speaker. While leveling up your skills around prepared talks is great, what happens when something like a networking dinner requires you to be spontaneous? That’s where the true growth opportunities live. I'm diving into this topic with Tristan de Montebello, co-founder of Ultraspeaking and a finalist in the World Championship of Public Speaking. Listen in on this episode because Tristan didn't start out as a "natural." Like many elite communicators, he has identified the bad habits holding him back and replaced them with the powerful skills that make speaking feel effortless. You'll hear Tristan and me run through a series of exercises meant to train and transform your on-the-spot thinking. Tune it to uncover blind spots and begin expressing yourself with ease!
