What if one of the biggest unfair advantages left in business is your ability to speak with confidence?
In this episode, Lois talks with Sylvain Haché, founder of Next Level Public Speaking, about why speaking is still one of the most powerful ways to grow a business in an AI-driven world. Sylvain explains how local business owners can use speaking, video, and communication to become more visible, build trust faster, and attract better leads without relying only on paid ads.
They also discuss why confidence should come before scripting, how speaking creates a lasting competitive edge, and why authentic communication matters even more as AI-generated content becomes more common. If you are a local business owner, coach, consultant, or service provider who wants to stand out, this conversation will help you see public speaking in a whole new way.
You will learn how speaking can help position you as the trusted expert in your market, why confidence is not something you get but something you uncover, and how better communication can increase conversions, visibility, and influence.
Watch now and learn why making “noises with your face” may still be one of the smartest business growth moves you can make.
