Jess Ponce's The A Factor®

How many of you have heard get your 90-second elevator pitch ready? I met “The Techie” in one of my workshops. He, like many others that attend my class and workshops, ran through his pitch and wasted his moment. Right now, here and now, let me tell you: You need to abandon this technique and instead come up with a 90-second CONNECTION. Within that 90 seconds that you are going up the elevator with that individual that you think is some important decision-maker, you gotta remember he or she has heard a ton of pitches all day and every time he or she is going up that metaphorical elevator, someone is objectifying them and looking at them as a yes or no person or not even as a person at all as a thing that is either going to greenlight your project or not. “The Techie” who was used to using his data was ignored repeatedly because he wasn’t engaging the decision-makers in his process.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and it is not quite in sync? Clarity is really important when it comes to having conversations because sometimes you might be talking to somebody and you feel like he or she is not listening to you as if they are in a completely different space.

We all have our favorite stars that we follow on social media, and we follow them not only for what advice or thoughts they might have, but also to know a little bit about their inside world.  As a media coach, I work with a lot of different celebrities and helping to cultivate that public image.  Although bright and beautiful, “The Model” was one person in particular that really struggled with this idea of being self-revealing. She had gone through a series of very tumultuous relationships that led her to be in the headlines, but was determined to expand her career into on-camera work.  Take a listen and find out how she learned to connect with her audience just in the right way, so that she gained trust and how you can also emotionally connect to your own audience, be true to yourself, and still remain accountable to them.

This podcast is for individuals who are constantly improving themselves, who are looking for different ways to create impact. The A-Factor is just the beginning. We're not only going to look at the audience, the agenda and the call to action, we're gonna look at our presence. We're going to look at how we create clarity, how to be more confident, and how to be more charismatic in our approach. Because communication seems simple, but it is not easy. 

We're going to share our stories and we're going to hear from experts and hopefully, I can offer some insights from my experience as a media coach and personal branding expert that can help you not only with your A-Factor, but also with your charisma. Who doesn't want to captivate people to be more confident in situations in which you may be uncomfortable and to be clear in how you deliver the message that you want? 

I want for all of us is to be seen and to be heard.
