“Public speaking doesn’t have to be feared or endured. It can become a space where you feel in control, where your ideas gain power, and where your voice becomes one of your greatest professional assets.” Nazly Shamel defines what great public speaking is with us.
Public speaking sometimes seems like a big intimidation. It sits somewhere between “mild discomfort” and “never ever.” Nazly has spent enough years training CEOs, public figures, government leaders, and media spokespersons to know that the anxiety is real, but so is the untapped potential.
Great speakers are the result of hard work and smart development. What Nazly has seen, over and over again, is that with the right training and preparation, anyone can become a speaker who not only communicates well but also enjoys the experience.
In workshops, she meets participants who tend to expect a long list of rules and scary attempts: gesture like this, pause like that, make eye contact, tell a story, land a message, breathe properly, structure your argument, use your voice, modulate your tone. All of these matter. However, Nazly believes that one skill, one element, is what turns a speech from competent to unforgettable.
Resonance:
Resonance is the quality that makes listeners feel spoken to, not spoken at!
It channels a sense of connection that makes words linger long after the speech ends.
It creates a moment where meaning becomes shareable. It’s how people know that what you are saying aligns with what they care about.
Resonance is what makes a message sentimentally deliverable. It’s what audiences describe as authenticity, presence, and impact. It doesn’t come from memorizing rules; it comes from aligning with what you’re saying, understanding the audience, and shaping your words so that your purpose meets their perspective.
Resonance isn’t widely addressed because it’s harder to quantify. It’s not a technique—it’s a craft. But once mastered, it frames other skills in a more profound light.
And yes, resonance can be taught.
“I’ve built my career around helping people find it. As a certified media spokesperson trainer and the founder and Managing Director of Vantage Communications—a Cairo-based PR and communications consultancy working with global leaders across healthcare, digital industries, banking, insurance, fintech, real estate, and FMCGs—I’ve watched senior executives reshape the way they communicate in ways that transformed not just their speaking, but their leadership.” Says Nazly.
In customized workshops, Nazly doesn’t just practice delivery. She trains the muscle of the clarity of thought, refines narratives, stress-tests key messages, and practices language that feels natural, grounded, and strategic.
“We rehearse for the moments that matter—panel speeches, live media interviews, internal town halls, crisis statements, investor pitches. What participants discover is that once they learn to tap into resonance, speaking becomes less about performance and more about purpose.” She adds.
And purpose gets you farther than perfection ever does!
Public speaking isn’t a pain you have to endure. It can become a space where you feel in control, where your ideas take shape in real life, and where your voice becomes one of your greatest professional assets.
Because when you speak with resonance, people don’t just hear you, they remember you.
“Every single person I’ve trained—without exception—has left the room enjoying public speaking more than when they arrived. Some of them look forward to it now. That’s not exaggeration; it’s the metric I care about most.” Nazly recalls with sentiment.
Because here’s the secret no one says out loud: once you discover you can move a room on purpose, great impact takes place. The microphone stops being a threat and starts feeling like a platform where the truest version of you shines.
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Yeah, it may be easy. Just not for me,” Nazly says that this is a sentence she’s heard hundreds of times. Usually, right before the same person aces a presentation six months later.
Nazly Shamel Defines Great Public Speaking
Great speaking isn’t a talent you’re born with. It’s a buildable lesson and a journey that helps you find your voice. And resonance is how you humanely, and realistically, get there.
