About this listen

Marc Williams is a global speaker, educator, and the co-founder of Speaker Skills Academy, where he helps people—from first graders to Fortune 500 leaders—overcome fear and master the art of communication. He’s also the creator of the acclaimed Rules of Engagement, a ten-part framework that’s reshaping how we teach public speaking across schools and organizations.

In this episode of the Innovating Education Podcast, we go deep on why traditional public speaking classes don’t work, and what to do instead. Marc talks candidly about the culture of fear in classrooms, the trap of performative speaking, and how gamification, storytelling, and mindset work can radically transform how people show up and speak with confidence.

We also talk about why storytelling should replace speech rubrics, how to build your “communication muscles,” and what it really means to shift from grading speeches to growing communicators.
