Public Speaking Training in Shanghai for Founders and Specialists

What if you could finish a talk and know the room had followed you, rather than your notes? Imagine public speaking that is calm, specific and short enough to remember, including when the audience is mixed. Even if your voice tightens and you have always preferred the work to the stage, you can still hold a room. It's like finding your voice in a hall that was built for announcements, not conversation.

Since 2016, his events have reached 100,000+ founders across Asia.

Closed $7M+ in deals by 24 and rebuilt from zero twice.

Why learn from Jason Lim?

A seller before a coach.

He closed over $7 million in deals, so public speaking is trained as a way to move a room toward a point, not as theatre.

He has coached since he was sixteen.

He started coaching basketball at 16, and talks are rehearsed under a clock, with feedback after every run.

His graduates show the method works.

Graduates using the method have produced 8-figure results; two of their stories are lower down, and a Shanghai talk is coached with it.

He learned from renowned mentors.

He studied under Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. A talk is coached from the first minute, live.

Why is Future of Selling the best public speaking training in Shanghai?

A proven framework.

P.I.T.C.H. gives a talk a beginning, a teach and a close, so you are not left filling time with extra slides.

An easy, step-by-step system.

The first minute is practised until it holds; the rest of the talk is added only after that.

Fast results.

You train on the actual talk you have to give, so the room hears the version you practised.

Who is Jason Lim?

Jason Lim, public speaking training coach for Shanghai clients coached online

Jason Lim has been interviewed by SG Visionaries about his path from extreme introvert to a teacher of speaking and selling. Public speaking once terrified him. He started teaching at 16, when he became a basketball coach.

He entered sales at 21 and closed over $7 million in deals. Under DreaMaker Ventures, he founded Future of Selling, and P.I.T.C.H. is the method he teaches there. Along the way he studied under renowned mentors: Marshall Thurber (creator of Money & You®), Joel Bauer, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes and Bob Proctor. Leaders from Skystone Asset Management, Signarama Singapore, Enlightenment Education, Mindreader AI and 8Yolk Design Studio have trained with him. Since 2016, that teaching has reached founders across Asia.

Are you facing this right now?

You write a script and then cling to it.

The room hears a reading, and any interruption throws the rest of the talk.

The slides are the talk.

Without the deck you are unsure what comes next, and the audience watches the screen, not you.

Questions feel like an exam.

You over-answer, or go short and defensive, and the close never arrives.

Time buyers spend with suppliers

17%

When B2B buyers are considering a purchase, they spend only 17% of that time meeting with potential suppliers. When they compare several suppliers, the time with any one sales rep may be only 5% to 6%.

What happens if this continues?

A first impression often forms before you speak.

Most buyers prefer to research on their own first. The opening of a talk has to confirm that the next minutes are worth their attention.

Talks that are read, not spoken.

You avoid speaking slots, and other people tell your story for you.

A voice that tightens when the stakes rise.

You practise in private and still feel the first minute tighten in public.

It follows you home.

Later that night you replay the line you rushed or the question you missed.

Then a visible talk is wasted.

A staff meeting, a client forum or a conference slot can set how you are seen for a year.

Why do Talks that are read, not spoken and a voice that tightens when the stakes rise keep repeating and never go away?

Most public speaking advice starts with confidence tricks, or with more rehearsal of the same script. A room follows a clear point, spoken at a human pace. When the talk is a reading, no amount of volume helps. It's like reciting a timetable when the passengers asked where the train is going.

How Future of Selling can help

Win the opening of the room.

A live audience grants you a short window. Public speaking training should help you use it.

Leave a point the audience can use.

People still want a speaker's view, not only information they could have read.

Speak clearly in a year of new enterprises.

New foreign-invested enterprises established in China in 2025, 19.1% more than in 2024. The work is to be clear in front of the people building them.

Buyers who'd rather skip the rep

61%

Of B2B buyers prefer an overall rep-free buying experience, yet for tasks such as judging whether a product or service fits their company's needs, buyers prefer to seek seller input.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a speech easy to follow?
Tell the audience the main point early, use a few clear sections and signal when you move between them.
How do you speak with confidence?
Prepare a clear structure, slow down, pause after key points and practise out loud until the opening feels natural.
What is public speaking training?
Practice and feedback on speaking to groups: structure, voice, pace, body language and handling nerves. A public speaking course covers the same basics in a group.
How do you control nerves before speaking?
Breathe slowly, rehearse the opening until it is automatic and focus on the message rather than yourself. Public speaking coaching helps make the opening automatic.
