A note from Ed: One of the best ways is to improve your speaking skills, is through videos & podcasts. Not everyone has access to a physical stage, but everyone has access to a camera!

The added benefit? By demonstrating credibility through content, you become far more “bookable” for actual in-person speaking events.
