Much appreciated. Without question, there are some people who have a natural talent for public speaking. But they are far and few in between in my view. The vast majority of great speakers worked at it.

I took a look at your blog and will definitely spend some time there as I had very bad lower back pain (right side) last year. My sacrum is bent up more than normal and was pinching a nerve. But an X-Ray, physio, regular exercise and lots of water have helped enormously. Still, I will have a look at your posts.

Cheers!

John

I love the quote at the top: “All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.” – Emerson. This is so true but I wonder how many people really believe that – I definitely thought great speakers were born that way. Anyway, some great articles here – thank you.
