There's Nothing To Hide.

Mastery isn't rocket science.

You log into Instagram on a chill Friday evening. You see all major blogs talking about a 24 year old Nigerian multi millionaire who just bought a private jet.

How? What does he do? You're wondering. 

You search his name on Google. You go through his 105 posts on Instagram to find some clues on how he made his money because a private jet is no joke. 

You find out he's an entrepreneur with companies in various sectors but that's not enough for you. 

Does he have connections? Rich parents? One-in-a-lifetime luck? It can't just be hard work. 

Relatable? 

In one of our past newsletter editions I said: 

The concept of secrets is a fascinating one. The idea is that a person can have access to a level of knowledge that the majority of people don't is thrilling. 

Usually when someone makes a grand achievement, we run to find out their 'secret sauce.' Especially if what they achieve is deemed rare. 

It's like we want to know how exactly someone could pull it off because deep down we have desires that would take a lot of precision to accomplish and we know it. 

However, if you've been around for a while you'll realize that many of these 'secrets' aren't hidden knowledge. They're usually things that are pretty obvious but require a decent level of attention and deep study to come to our consciousness. 

Today, you'll be reading a simple case study on how certain people have gained mastery in communication.

Victor Okafor: 

This was Victor delivering a keynote recently at Abuja. 

This was Victor delivering a speech during his NYSC camp days. 

This was Victor delivering a speech at a law firm years ago. 

This was Victor doing the same thing during his undergrad  years.

What's the common theme here? Victor has had several opportunities and platforms to practice public speaking actively. That's the secret sauce right there. 

* Enough of me talking about myself in the third person *

I have actively practiced public speaking for at least 12 years. Consistently.

Imagine I'm pitching for something and my competitor is a novice who doesn't know how to structure their communication. What would happen? 

Landslide victory for me. I know this because I've seen it happen over and over again. 

The unfair advantage anyone would ever have over you in any field is having access to platforms for practice over a long period of time. 

This is the exact reason we started The Jali Advanced Group;  A ONE YEAR membership to a world-class, practical public speaking group of 50 professionals and entrepreneurs that helps you practice and master  the techniques to make you stand out from the crowd, share and sell your ideas like an expert, and leave your listeners in awe. 

Why This Is Different: 

- No long talks; Purely practical and project-based 

- World class scheme of work used by the top institutions of the world like Harvard University. 

- Bi-weekly group assignments with peers. 

- Access to live feedback and reviews from one of Africa's best speaking coaches. 

- Access to Victor's 1-1 coaching and resources.
