Speak with Con dence

Masterclass Notes
Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should
be denied it." - Alan Moore
Improve your con dence,

communication, and overall life.

Introduction
I'm Abhishek, a communication skills trainer with over 15
years of experience. I've trained professionals, appeared
on TV and radio shows, and worked with celebrities.
I'm here today because I want to help you improve your

public speaking skills.
Many people fear public speaking, but it's an essential

skill, and I want to provide you with practical tips to
speak with more con dence and impact.
Page 4
The Importance of Public

Speaking
You might be surprised to know that 93% of employers
are looking for candidates with strong communication
abilities, and public speaking is at the top of their list.
Even billionaire Warren Buffett has said that mastering

public speaking can signi cantly increase your income
potential.
Page 5
Besides career bene ts, public speaking also boosts your

con dence, leadership skills, and persuasion abilities,
which are valuable in work and daily life.
Page 6
The Fear of Public Speaking

Now, let's talk about the fear of public speaking. It's
natural to feel anxious about speaking in front of an
audience; it's called glossophobia, affecting 77% of
people.
This fear often holds us back from seizing opportunities

and sharing our ideas.
But here's the good news: you don't have to be born an

expert speaker.
Page 7
Like any skill, it gets better with practice and guidance.
So, start small by recording short videos, and as you gain

experience, the fear will fade away.
Remember, you don't have to be perfect from the start.
Common Myths About Public

Speaking
There are some common myths about becoming a
better public speaker that I want to debunk:
Myth #1 - Practising speeches in front of a mirror doesn't

give you the objective feedback you need. Instead,
record yourself and watch the recordings.
Myth #2 - Simply having an extensive vocabulary won't

make you a great speaker if you can't convey your ideas
clearly. Focus on effectively communicating your
message.
Page 8
Myth #3 - Public speaking skills aren't just for interviews

or formal situations; they're also essential for everyday
social interactions.
Myth #4 -Trying to learn from scattered sources like

newspapers and YouTube videos won't lead to real
improvement. Seek out a structured program and a
coach for consistent growth.
The 4 C's Framework of

Public Speaking
Now, let's dive into the 4 C's framework for successful
public speaking, which includes:
Page 9
1. Con dence – Overcoming stage fright and building

self-belief to project credibility and authority to your
audience.
2. Content – Organizing your ideas coherently to

educate or persuade your audience. Focus on providing
value to them.
3. Charisma – Captivating your audience through vocal

variety, body language, humour, storytelling, and
genuinely connecting with them.
Page 10
4. Conquer – Handling tough questions smoothly, using

call-to-action effectively, and pushing past your comfort
zones and fears of public speaking.
To master these skills, you need continuous practice and

objective feedback.
But with the right training and dedication, you can

transition from an anxious speaker to an in uential one.

The Bumblebee Story

During the webinar, Abhishek tells an interesting story
about bumblebees to illustrate how our beliefs shape
our capabilities.
He explains that scienti cally, the bumblebee's body and

wingspan are aerodynamically too small relative to its
body size for it to be able to y.
By the laws of physics and aerodynamics, scientists have

determined that bumblebees should not be able to y.
Page 12
Yet, in reality, bumblebees can y and do so all the time.
Abhishek states that this is because bumblebees do not

know or believe the “scienti c fact” that they shouldn't
be able to y. They simply try to y anyway - and
succeed.
He relates this back to public speaking and

communication skills. Often, we are held back not by
lack of ability but by self-limiting beliefs about what
we can accomplish.
Like the bumblebee unaware of scienti c aerodynamics,

we may not recognise capabilities we haven't tapped
into yet. We let mistaken assumptions about our own
skills inhibit us.
This story shows that preconceived notions do not

de ne or restrict our abilities. If we apply persistent effort
to improving any skill, we can grow beyond what we or
others perceive to be our limits.
Page 13
With practice and training, we are far more capable than

we may believe if we ignore the doubts and myths
holding us back.
The bumblebee story reminds us to focus on growth

rather than assumed constraints.
Page 14
10 Imaginary Limitations
In the webinar, Abhishek outlines 10 common imaginary
limitations people often impose on themselves
regarding public speaking.
He explains these beliefs hold people back from

improving their skills.
Page 15
1. Public speaking is an innate talent - Abhishek

stresses anyone can improve public speaking abilities
with training and practice. You are not just "born" a good
speaker.
2. I don't have the natural ability to be a good speaker
-Our skills depend on practice, not innate factors.

Blaming a lack of natural talent is a self-limiting belief.
3. My vocabulary is not good enough - Clear

communication is about conveying ideas simply, not
complex vocabulary. If the audience comprehends you,
your vocabulary is suf cient.
4. I can become a better speaker by talking to a
mirror - Mirrors don't offer honest feedback. Recording

yourself and getting objective assessments is more
effective.
Page 16
5. I can learn public speaking from YouTube or the
internet -Unstructured online content cannot

substitute for a tailored training program and expert
guidance.
6. I'll forget everything when I get on stage -
Speeches shouldn't be memorised word-for-word.

Relying on notes or prompts on stage is perfectly
acceptable.
7. I only need public speaking skills for formal
situations like interviews - Con dent communication

is a crucial life skill in uencing daily interactions.
8. Reading newspapers and books expand your
vocabulary - Learning vocabulary in isolated contexts

does not teach how to use words effectively in speech.
9. I'll start public speaking when I learn how to do it
You will not become an effective public speaker

well -
without practical experience. Start small.
Page 17
10. I'm scared because I'm not good at public
speaking - Fear holds you back, not lack of inherent skill.

Overcoming fear is part of the growth process.
Page 18
Useful Lessons from The

Masterclass
Lesson 1 - I want to emphasise the importance of
getting comfortable with being uncomfortable in public
speaking. Pushing past your fears and stepping outside
your comfort zone is essential for your growth in this skill.
Lesson 2 - Don't compare your early speaking attempts

to polished experts. Instead, focus on self-improvement
and avoid judging yourself against others.
Lesson 3 - Vocal variety is crucial for captivating your

audience's attention. You can achieve this by
modulating your tone, adjusting your volume,
controlling your speed, using in exion, and strategically
pausing to add depth and emotion to your voice.
Page 19
Lesson 4 - Remember that your body language can

impact your presentation as much or even more than
the words you speak. Use natural gestures, maintain a
con dent posture, convey emotions through facial
expressions, and move around the stage to engage your
audience.
Lesson 5 - Storytelling is a powerful tool in public

speaking. Crafting compelling stories with a clear
message lets you connect with your audience and leave
a lasting impression.
Lesson 6 - When speaking, don't just talk "at" your

audience. Instead, interact with them by asking
questions, addressing people by name, and welcoming
their input. Building rapport is key.
Lesson 7 - Authenticity is crucial. The best speakers

connect with their audiences by being genuine, sharing
personal stories and their passion, and building trust.
Page 20
Lesson 8 - Continually seek opportunities to practice

your speaking skills, whether by joining a Toastmasters
group, volunteering for presentations at work, or
recording video speeches.
Lesson 9 - To improve your public speaking, analyse

speakers you admire. Understand and incorporate
elements that make them effective, such as humour,
storytelling, concise messaging, and audience rapport.
Lesson 10 - Seek feedback from coaches, mentors, and

trusted peers to gain objective insights into improving
your public speaking abilities.
Lesson 11 - Believe in your value and ability to impact an

audience. Con dence is built through preparation and
experience.
Page 21
Public speaking is attainable through overcoming your

fears, dedicating yourself to continuous improvement,
learning various techniques, and believing in your
abilities.
Mastering this skill can open up incredible opportunities

for you.

FAQs About The Program

Q: How many hours per day do I need to commit to

day. This includes the 20-40 minute pre-recorded daily
lesson, practising giving a short 5-minute speech and
providing feedback to peers. Respecting busy schedules,
the lessons are self-paced rather than live classes at xed
times.
Q: Can I watch a recording later if I miss a live

coaching call?
Page 26
A: Abhishek provides lifetime access to all training

content, so any missed live calls can be watched later at
your convenience.

provides detailed feedback. Additional coaches review
speeches and provide comments within the private
online community. Participants can also exchange peer

getting feedback. The core training content is delivered

A: You can enrol now and begin the self-paced program

later. However, Abhishek strongly recommends starting

A: Abhishek offers a 7-day money-back satisfaction

guarantee. Simply request a refund within the rst week
if you feel the program is not bene cial.
