Words Matter Less Than You Think
Most of what we communicate isn’t through words. Studies show that body language and tone account for more than 90% of the message we convey. While written communication, like replies on X or comments on LinkedIn, can demonstrate wit and insight, they lack the human connection of spoken words. Becoming a “Speaker Guy” rather than just a “Reply Guy” allows you to tap into your full potential as a communicator.
Speaking Amplifies Your Influence
When you speak, your tone, facial expressions, and body language do the heavy lifting. These elements build trust, create connection, and showcase confidence in ways text never can. As a speaker, you aren’t just sharing your ideas—you’re commanding attention and leaving a lasting impression. Mastering the spoken word makes your audience more likely to remember and engage with your message.
Don’t Just Write, Speak and Lead
Being the person who speaks up in meetings or contributes during discussions shows leadership. Your audience, whether it’s your team, clients, or community, values clarity and presence. When you combine strong ideas with powerful delivery, you elevate your position from someone with thoughts to someone people trust and follow. Practice speaking regularly, even if it’s to a mirror or a small group. Every step builds confidence.
You’re Capable of More
Making the leap from Reply Guy to Speaker Guy requires courage, but it’s a game-changer. When you speak, you’re not just communicating, you’re inspiring, motivating, and leading. The world needs more people like you to step up, take the mic, and make an impact. Trust yourself, take the first step, and watch how your voice transforms the way others see you.
