Great speakers don't start their presentations by trying to be funny, persuasive, or polished—they start by being themselves. Whether you're on stage, in a boardroom, or featured on a podcast like MobileGroove, authenticity builds trust and allows you to connect with your audience in a way that feels real, not rehearsed. Speaking coach Reuben Milne compares public speaking to a muscle you build over time. He's built his hosting the UA Society London and working with brands like Google, LinkedIn, and Pfizer. He joins the show this week to share the exercises, strategies, and tactics you should know before your next speaking engagement.
