How to Find Your Speaking Groove

With Chris Ducker

When you’re thinking of what subject to speak on remember that topic will change over time. In the course of your career, your topic will even change a few times, it will evolve as you evolve as a professional speaker.

A great reminder of this is Chris Ducker, our guest on this episode. If you don’t know him Chris is a best-selling author, multi-successful entrepreneur and in-demand speaker who has given presentations and keynotes around the globe.

Chris started speaking almost by accident (a story he shares today), and over the years he has evolved his speaking gigs to reflect his entrepreneurial journey. Today he shares why he’s pivoted along the way, and how he’s done it. You’ll hear all of that and much more on this episode of The Speaker Lab!
