Idea That Transformed a Timid Clerk Into a Top Speaker
Albert Edward Wiggam, once a shy Denver flower shop clerk, found courage during the 1896 Free Silver Campaign after reading Coin's Financial School. He spoke at Vernon Indiana a crowded rural schoolhouse, delivering a 15 minute talk that captivated listeners for an hour and a half. The response launched a speaking career, with Wiggam delivering thousands of lectures nationwide. He attributes his change to the fire of a single idea and the willingness to speak without concern for perfect grammar or attire. This tale offers a lesson for the timid: focus on the idea and convey it with conviction.
