Most people when faced with an audience are going to put their best face forward and strive for perfection. This is a huge communication trap because communication is much more than just the words you use, and The Radio DJ learned that when she was faced with a live audience of hundreds. 

I present to you another In Session with a wonderful energy, Kitty Bucholtz.  She is not only a writer who pens superhero urban fantasy and romantic comedy, often with an inspirational element woven in, she decided to become a writer-turned-independent-publisher, forming Daydreamer Entertainment and self-publishing her first novel in 2011. Founder of WRITE NOW! Workshop and host of WRITE NOW! Workshop Podcast, she loves to teach writing workshops online and in person and has been doing so since 1997.  

I think her In Session exemplifies a problem many of us run into, and that is those of us who service a variety of clients can empathize when it comes to personal branding and not exactly knowing how to create an effective branding message.

Welcome to Episode # 18, The Stylist: Keylee Sanders-Helmich, and co-founder of Helmich Luxury Group. She is a 20-year fashion and luxury veteran, had a career on and off-camera, and is an entrepreneur who has worked as a stylist, host, brand ambassador, and fashion blogger. PLUS she was crowned Miss Teen USA in 1995! AND she has the one superpower that a lot of us that are public-facing would love to have and that is she has NO FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.  Keylee talks about the comfort of being in front of the crowd and warns us, “I'm that girl you rarely want to give a microphone to, cause I don't give it back.”

My guest today, Andi Matheny said this in my book: “Think about what even the shyest person is capable of doing under extraordinary circumstances. When we must act, we do.” In this episode, we discuss exactly how we do this. 

I met Andi on a talk show I produced over a decade ago. You may recognize her from The Resident as Dr. Kelly Whitley, or maybe as Sara Rue’s mom on Hallmark’s "True Love Blooms." 

We chat about her journey in becoming an acting coach,  recognizing through the process that: first, everyone is running in their own race. Second, hosting gave her the permission to be herself.  She even shares a couple of acting exercises with us that are helpful to tap into the power of being one’s authentic self.

In this special episode, I wanted to share with you an excerpt from my new book, A.W.E.S.O.M.E.: 7 Keys To Unlocking The Speaker Within (you can find it on amazon.com and https://www.barnesandnoble.com).

A.W.E.S.O.M.E. is a guide I wrote to awaken the powerful speaker within you.  Fear and uncertainty stops us from owning the spotlight and I want to show you how to discover ways to speak with intention to provide the messages your audience needs to hear.  

My goal is to empower you with my new book to shine anywhere, anytime and I’ve enlisted the advice from a myriad of entertainment professionals so you can learn to: 

• Express yourself with clarity, confidence, and charisma
• Deliver effective pitches, interviews, keynotes, toasts and presentations
• Align your words with your body language, external surroundings, and untapped intuition
• Create messages that stand out, regardless of the medium or situation
