Based on the title, "The King's Speech" probably doesn't sound too appealing. After all, it seems like current day British monarchs are in charge of fulfilling one responsibility, being the figurehead of a nation and giving the press a subject to focus on by showing up for charity events.

And, of course, giving inspirational speeches to the public.

Now you've probably heard the saying, "public speaking is a fear worse than death." If you apply this saying, and your own personal jaw locking, teeth rattling and handshaking public speaking experiences, you might be able to understand the considerable social pressure that comes with public speaking.

Sure, you're given the opportunity to make a change by influencing the public into buying your product, listen to your message, or persuade your audience to accept a specific mindset, but preparing and executing a speech is indeed a complex and nerve-wracking process.

I didn't really appreciate the art of preparing and delivering a speech until I took my second Public Speaking Communications course (what was I thinking, willingly subjecting myself to this torture) and truly immersing myself into learning how to structure and deliver different kinds of speeches depending on various circumstances.

After recently watching "The King's Speech," the humor, relatable emotional pain and baggage of childhood, and the historical timing all encompassed into this dynamic and overall thought-provoking movie astounded me.

In case you needed a quick brush-up on British royalty history and don't have enough time to watch The Crown, King George VI inherited the throne of England after his brother, David, abdicated in order to continue a scandalous relationship the British Government would not support.

The only problem? King George IV had a small stammering speech condition that prevented him from fulfilling one of his public duties, public speaking.

This paralyzing fear and embarrassment at not being able to execute a perfect speech with absolutely no stutters, filler words, and a complete facade of confidence for an audience (that happened to be the entire world) is completely relatable. Not only did King George the VI have to stand up to his lifelong fear of speaking in general, he also took to the throne during one of the most destructive historical periods, World War II.

Keep in mind that normally, it takes a confident person to successfully persuade an entire country not to lose sh** when Hitler comes knocking at your door petitioning for a war; and King George IV was not one to instill confidence in anything, let alone an entire country.

So how exactly was he able to execute his famous Christmas speech that aired on the eve of Britain's declaration of war on Germany?

The speech therapist (who happened to be the same actor that played Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean) helped for one.

But the main factor that drove the King's speech home and instilled a country's confidence and inspiration is the fact that the King demonstrated that anything; a war, a life crippling communication disability, the emotional baggage of traumatic childhood, and a bully and coward of an older brother is possible to overcome with a willingness to accept and work on one's weaknesses, no matter your social class or rank in life.

So keep George IV in mind when you're struggling to overcome a personal challenge. If he can change a lifelong toxic habit just in time to motivate an entire country to resist Hitler advances, you can whatever you set your mind too.
