REAL CLEAR VALUES PODCAST WITH TOM ENGLISH - Public Speaking Zero to Hero

The story of Simon Day’s public speaking transformation is inspirational. He went from quitting his job for fear of speaking with other people to becoming a UK & Ireland public speaking champion through Toastmasters International. In this episode of the Real Clear Values podcast, Simon talks about the principles that empowered him on his transformation journey, those who supported him along the way, and how he created a life of purpose and meaning through aligning his work with his values. We also discuss how to overcome resentment through using negative feedback as fuel to move forward, the difference between material wealth and real wealth, and how Simon coaches speakers with different styles.
