The podcast series, “World of Speakers” has been running for 62 months.
Over the 100 interviews, we’ve amassed 65hrs of recordings from professional speaking experts from around the world. The podcast has had 81K listens.
We’ve welcomed some high-level guests, like Dr. Nick Morgan, Neil Patel, Cynthia Johnson, Dorie Clark, Josh Linkner, Manoj Vasudevan, and Drew Dudley. We celebrated our 100th episode with an interview with James Taylor.

We’ve covered all sorts of topics that range from how to avoid catastrophes, through how to handle hecklers, to the best technology for speakers and trainers.
We wanted to know what kind of articles you, our readers, like best. So we took a look at what your top ten favourite articles of all-time have been. Here’s the list:
SkillCamp’s top posts:

We send out a bi-monthly newsletter that includes a section listing articles from around the web that would be helpful to speakers, such as recent, top articles from Forbes or Harvard Business Review, new technologies and trends, upcoming online classes and webinars, or free industry reports.
A very special thanks to the team here at SpeakerHub, Ryan Foland, Steve Cuthbert, Racquel Gabuna, Rosario Añon Suarez, and Dane Cobain who pulled together from Belgium, the Philippines, United Kingdom, Argentina, and the USA — all four corners of the globe, to keep the platform running and ensure we are producing great content for all our speakers.
We look forward to providing you with great service and more opportunities in 2023.
