It’s one of the most common public speaking myths I hear—especially from values-driven speakers, coaches, and creatives who genuinely care about impact.

In this episode of the Public Speaking Myths Series, we’re unpacking the belief that visibility is a selfish act and reframing what it actually means to be seen, heard, and paid for your work.

We’ll explore:

• The public speaking myth that keeps so many people playing small

• The difference between internal impact (how it benefits you) and external impact (who it serves)

• How to grow your brand through your values and your mission—not ego or performance

• Why your values should act as a guiding compass for every speaking and business decision

• How visibility and sales can be an act of service

If you’ve ever felt guilty about promoting yourself, sharing your work, or wanting to be seen—this episode is an invitation to reframe visibility as leadership, responsibility, and care.

🎙️ Press play if you’re ready to stop shrinking your voice and start treating visibility as a way to serve the people who need what you have to offer.
