      Introduction

      Entering the Speaking Wizard World

      Welcome to the Speaking Wizard. The all exclusive guide in entering the magical world of Public Speaking.

      If you were to tell me a couple of years ago that public speaking was magical, I’d laugh at you. What the hell is this guy smoking??

      And this early?

      But nowadays, if you were to ask me which phrase I’d associate with public speaking, the very first thing would be:

      MAGICAL

      No lie.

      But why the sudden change?

      The sudden change came via experience.

      My Story with Speaking

      I grew up as a very talkative kid in my village of Bangladesh. I was known as the Village Monkey. Mainly because I wouldn’t shut the fuck up and was always jumping around and playing.

      However, the village that I grew up in was dangerous and infested with crime. Therefore, my family felt it was best that we move to the United States.

      This was a big transition to make. But going from the East to the West was no longer a choice.

      Coming to the US was tough not because of the environment, but because of the culture. I was mocked relentlessly for my heavy accent and that made it difficult to find friends.

      What did this cause?

      It caused a transition from being the Village Monkey to being the Shy Foreign kid.

      For years, I struggled with confidence & was not able to build social circles.

      This led to a lot of lost opportunities.

      One of the toughest feelings is KNOWING that you know something.

      However, you are not going to get the opportunity because you are too shy to speak up.

      I saw charismatic people who knew less surpassing me in all areas of life.

      It seemed the fate of being an awkward-shy-foreign- engineer was set.

      Until all that changed.

      ‘What happened?’

      Well what happened was that I was introduced to a club called Toastmasters.

      Initially, I thought the club was regarding breakfast. And can you blame me?? It has the word Toast in it.

      But later on, I realized it was a club for public speaking.

      My first encounter with this club was a DISASTER. I ended up being caught off guard and getting called on stage to give a Table Topics (the impromptu speech section of the club).

      Results?

      Choking a speech in front of a BUNCH of familiar faces.

      On that day, I felt that my life was always going to be one of the shy kid.

      And that’s when I quit public speaking all together.

      Time Elapses…

      Until a few months had passed & I decided that quitting was not an option.

      During my span of quitting, I had nightmares, felt even more unconfident & dealt with a tragic loss of a family member.

      All those dark feelings gave me perspective on why I should not quit.

      It was mandatory at this point to figure out public speaking and help others when I did.

      After going back to Toastmasters, I never looked back.

      Slow and steady does not only win the race. Slow and steady leads to exponential progress.

      And that’s exactly how my journey with public speaking went.

      I went from the Village Monkey to the Shy Foreign kid to ArmaniTalks.

      Immersing myself in public speaking after that choke job allowed me to rediscover my voice.

      Since then, I went onto give 50 + speeches, spoke in audiences of hundreds of people, was a speaker in conferences, participated in speech competitions and became the External Vice President of my Toastmasters club.

      Its been a magical journey & I wish to share that with you. All the insights in this book are highly practical.

      You will learn about:

      Why public speaking is more important than ever.

      Speech anxiety.

      How to create a speech.

      Deliver a speech with swag.

      And you’ll also be given a bonus chapter on Toastmasters.

      This journey is going to be beautiful because public speaking is one of those skillsets that does not discriminate. You can be black, white, girl, man, tall, short etc.

      Public speaking is an art form that we all deserve to become Picasso in.

      This is a world of magic when you realize that you had the power all along.

      Speech anxiety was an illusion bud.

      Let’s reconfigure your perception regarding public speaking. Your Speaking Wizard is eagerly waiting to rise.

      Part 1: Why Public Speaking?

      Why Public Speaking is more important than ever

      ‘It’s the information age Armani. Why should I bother learning public speaking?’

      This may be the golden question of the year. Why even bother?

      When we feel fear, one of the main things is to try to legitimize it.

      Humans process information with the emotions first & then try to logic with it.

      We believe that we are such logical creatures. Ha!
