Play the part until you become it because faking will work to some extent but will never sustain you in the long run. Daily, strive to learn the techniques, weaknesses, and strengths to succeed in public speaking. The use of words is very detrimental to what we want to achieve. Believing in faking it till you make it identifies your unauthenticity. It depicts becoming somebody that you are not or acting out of integrity. Join this conversation where Sebastian Rusk shares the secrets to becoming a success in your podcasting journey and public speaking through more than a decade in public speaking.
