Today we are going to be answering one of my favorite questions of all time. I’m already a great speaker. I have a successful TED Talk, a successful podcast, and a successful keynote speech. Why do I need a presentation coach?

Over the last few years, I have worked with hundreds of thought leaders in health, entrepreneurship, and transformation, and my favorite group to work with are experienced speakers who have established businesses. I can get the very best results the fastest with this group of people but there is an elephant in the room as they are not sure they need this kind of help. If you ever found yourself wondering do I need help if I am already a successful speaker I am sharing five reasons why you do.
