Yes, most tools I've listed so far can help you with systems but there are also tools to help yourself. Being able to speak to any size audience and convey your message is important. What better way than to analyze TED Talks? Some of the best public speakers of our time. There's a great infographic analyzing each of these TED Talks HERE. Don't forget to practice these techniques, just watching isn't likely to improve anything.
