With thousands of members around the world, BSN holds the distinction of being the most accessible and fastest-growing development organization, dedicated to serving underrepresented speakers at all levels in their career. Recognized as one of the brightest talents with a unique mix of corporate, academic and leadership, Old's influence and prowess has warranted favorable opportunities to showcase his talent and spread awareness, beyond BSN. In 2015, he competed in the Toastmasters International Speech Contest, a competition with over 30,000 participants who compete for a chance to take part in the World Championship of Public Speaking®. Brian proudly advanced to the semi-finals, competing against the top 100 speakers around the world.With a deep appreciation for the artistry of speaking at the helm of his career, Brian J.

Brian J. Olds, President & Founder of Black Speakers Network (BSN)Brian J. Olds wasn’t born with a natural enthusiasm for public speaking. A burgeoning change agent in the industry, the Baltimore native inadvertently entered into the world of speaking when he delivered his first speech to the Morgan State University Toastmasters Club in 2006. Recalling this as one of his most defining life moments, Brian instantly connected to his passion when he found himself in front of a standing ovation at the conclusion of that speech. Identified as a “curator of collaboration”, Brian specializes in empowering rising professional speakers to create clarity, streamline systems and cultivate the relationships needed to reach the unique audience they are called to serve. His passion for speaking, diversity and building relationships led him to create Black Speakers Network (BSN), a membership-based professional speaker development and empowerment association. With thousands of members around the world, BSN holds the distinction of being the most accessible and fastest-growing development organization, dedicated to serving underrepresented speakers at all levels in their career. With a deep appreciation for the artistry of speaking at the helm of his career, Brian J Olds is defining success on his own terms. His impact is illustrated perfectly in industry mate Zig Ziglar’s quote, “It’s not where you start – it’s where you finish that counts.”www.BlackSpeakersNetwork.com

Allan & Allan dive into ways to develop yourself into a better public speaker, what happens to those who don't confront their public speaking fear and tons more!!    Key Takeaways: “No one is born a public speaker. It’s a learned skill.” – Allan Kaufman Public speaking helps you to stand out, get promoted and gain more customers. Attending regular Toastmasters meetings is one way to practice and develop your presentation skills. Hiring a coach will amplify and advance your skills at a rapid rate. Don’t let fear, especially the fear of public speaking hold you back from advancing your career or business. There are 2 parts to overcoming public speaking fear. Developing your skills and finding the root cause of your fear that may be holding you back. A speaker should always know their audience. A speaker must have the main takeaway for their audience to receive from their message. Always be willing to confront your fears. “Communication is probably the most important thing that you do in your life.” – Allan Misch Always seek feedback. Doing something the same way without feedback doesn’t help your growth.    Allan & Allan's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Allan-Kaufman/e/B00E2YA46K?ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vu00_tkin_p1_i1  Allan & Allan's Website: nosweatspeaking.com    Email Allan Kaufman at allank@nosweatspeaking.com if you want to invest in 5-hours of individualized and customized presentation coaching for the special price of $797.

Think about the 1st iPhone compared to now.   Even though a Tuesday morning might be statistically the best day to launch a new product, people may not always buy it when they 1st see it.   Opportunities are readily available to those who take action.   Know your message as a speaker before trying to monetize your gifts, skills, and talents more effectively.   Brian's Site: https://www.blackspeakersnetwork.com/brianolds Brian's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1798130661/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0       Related Episodes:   Episode 14 - "Reach Your Mountaintop" with Jeff Davis = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-14-jeff-davis-jeffdavis027   Episode 16 - "Mission Unstoppable" with Haki "Shakur" Ammi = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-16-mission-unstoppable-with-haki-shakur-ammi   Episode 49 - "Serve Yourself to Greatness" with Reginald Gant = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/49-serve-yourself-to-greatness-with-reginald-gant-reggieserves   Episode 119 - "A Passion for High Performance & Professional Development" with Dr. Elizabeth Carter, DTM = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/119-a-passion-for-high-performance-professional-development-with-dr-elizabeth-carter-eacaappeal   The opening track is titled, "SFEX x ATCQ" by madxruler (formally known as Ruler Inc.)
