Imagine you’re standing on stage, and you’re nailing your presentation. The audience is laughing in all the right places, heads nodding, active participation, this speech could not have gone better. Until…

In episode 4 of The Rebel Speaker Podcast you’ll hear:

I’m getting ranty on the Rebel Speaker today chatting about my biggest speaking pet peeve ever.

It’s the pet peeve where I want to scream “The audience is on to you and we are NOT buying it anymore.”

Not only that, this pet peeve has made speakers feel like gross, slimy salespeople for far too long.

On episode 3 of the podcast I’m ranting about why Speak to Sell formulas are ruining the art of public speaking and what you, dear speaker, should be doing instead to grow your relationship with the audience.

• why speaking to sell is the antithesis to what public speaking is all about
• what you should be doing instead of pitching the stage
• why you need a marketing plan to nurture the relationship between you and your new found fans

You’ve heard the speaking tip:

Have you ever thought “how the heck am I going to do that?” Most blog posts and article tell you why you need to understand your audience, but they don’t tell you HOW.
