March 09, 2023189. Getting Paid To Speak: The Importance of Valuing Your Expertise With Lindsay Rogers
Lindsay Rogers is a former journalist and founder of Raw Strategy where she teaches people to tell stories for a living, yet she found herself facing something relatable: having difficulty figuring out how to tell her own story and how to translate the message in her marketing materials to the stage.
That’s why when she was asked to speak, Lindsay raised her hand to join my signature talk program and later on, work 1-on-1 too.
Lindsay’s story is proof you don’t need to earn the right to get paid to speak by putting in time on different stages. Instead, she knew she wanted paid speaking as a revenue wheel from the get-go.
If you’ve ever wondered if your message or expertise is worthy of earning you money as a paid speaker, tune into this inspiring episode that will have you shooting for the stars.

In this episode, Lindsay shares:
Why she had to dismantle herself from the inside out to translate written messages to spoken messages
All the internal junk that popped up, leaving her feeling exposed and how she handled it
How she got paid well to speak right from the beginning
Why learning to trust yourself is the key to feeling confident on stage
Her experience combatting the curse of knowledge with my Script-ish and bucketizing process
Figuring out what to do with her body on stage
On-stage moments that made her realize she was doing the thing she was meant to do
How one talk led to $100,000 in the last year

March 02, 2023188. The Results Of Practicing Your Signature Talk In Public Over 200 Times With Liz Wilcox
Liz Wilcox is the Fresh Princess of Email and a keynote speaker, a former client of mine who built her signature talk in my program.
She’s got a big vision in mind, but she’s flexible about how she’s going to get there. Right now, Liz focuses on building towards that future one talk at a time. Because each talk she gives is an opportunity to connect with another person, build a new relationship and share her expertise to people who need it.
Over the last 12 months, Liz has spoken on over 100 stages, and as she says, “Baby, I’m taking over the internet!”.
It’s true.
Liz has used her talks to share her framework for making email marketing fun (and profitable) and as a result has added hundreds of people to her email marketing membership.
So, if you’ve ever wondered what speaking can do for your business, or you’ve had doubts that a signature talk can be used over and over again…this is the episode for you.

In this episode, Liz shares:
The atypical launch results that illuminated her gift for email marketing and made her realize she had a message people needed to hear
Why she decided speaking was the best way to make a bigger impact
How her personal circumstances gave her no choice but to push past ‘head junk’ and speak even when though she still breaks out in a rash
Her thoughts on why talent will only get you so far and how Michael Jordan inspired her to get disciplined with her speaking practice
The simple ways she tweaks her signature talk and
Why her signature talk is still relevant over three years later

February 16, 2023186. Sound Polished & Professional When You Speak
The way you communicate impacts how others perceive you and your business.
When you sound polished and professional, you’re seen as knowledgeable, trustworthy and confident – which establishes your credibility and helps you attract new clients.

And poor communication skills are COSTLY because when others don’t understand what you do and how you can help them, they certainly won’t buy from you.

That’s why raising your level of awareness and being intentional on how you communicate with your words, with your tone and with your body language is critical– and that’s what this episode is all about.

Today I deep dive on the common mistakes I see so many entrepreneurs making when trying to elevate the level of polish and professionalism with how they speak and more importantly, how to correct it. I also share some power tips + activities you can do (plus a heck of a lot more!) that will help you raise your level of confidence to create a bigger impact on your business.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why communication skills are paramount in your business
Formality vs Professionalism: two terms that are often used interchangeably
The Power of Practice
Understanding polish and professionalism and how it boils down to three communication buckets (and the mistakes that happen when you elevate your polish and professionalism)
Plus power tips + game-changer activity(you're gonna hate and love me for this!) you can do to become a better communicator

January 26, 2023183. Visibility & Vulnerability: How Much to Share as a Personal Brand
You know you need to be more visible in your business, but does that mean you need to be vulnerable too? According to the definition of the word – YES.

Vulnerability is about exposing yourself to potential harm, physically or emotionally, and when you’re a personal brand who puts themselves out there– online or on stage, that’s inherently VULNERABLE.

So if you’ve ever asked yourself questions like:
How much of my story should I share? Did I over share? Should I be more vulnerable?
How much is too much to share? What should I NOT be sharing with my audience?
Here’s a glimpse of what you’re going to learn in this episode…
What is vulnerability and how it can help you build high quality relationships with your audience
How to show the real you while maintaining professional
Tangible tactics to be more strategic when sharing vulnerable stories
My 3-H “Should I Share This” Assessment that I use to filter my shares
Plus tips on how to tell case studies or tell story of other people
My intention for this episode is to help you reframe your perspective on what vulnerability means for your personal brand– online or onstage. So that you can feel confident with what you choose to share (and be okay with what you choose NOT to).
