How do you choose your signature speech? If you listen to Episode 2, you heard how Jenn started with her signature story. Today, let's talk about why it's important to stop telling stories and start delivering speeches that matter.

First, you look at your speaking topic(s). 

Then, you determine the relevance of your speech through the lens of UVP. Mindset tip: you may be asking the wrong question here.

This is where the turning point between motivational speaking and professional speaking lies.

Remember who the hero of your speech is, and how to keep them front and center.

Do you know how to turn your story into a speech that gets you booked? Share your thoughts with me.

The number one question people ask me is, "Jenn, how did you start speaking?" Today's episode is gonna be about how my speaking journey began. My hope is that you'll hear some insights there that will help you begin your own speaking journey. 

• From being bullied at school
• To emergency surgery one week before junior prom
• To losing a family member who showed me how to be a strong woman
• To inspiring my Toastmasters mentor to change her life

My first signature story revolved around my experiences with being a big loser.

But, there's a difference between a signature story and signature speech. This is often what separates unpaid motivational speakers from paid professional speakers.

What could be your signature story? Think about something in your life that you were really proud of.

Something that you achieved that maybe no one else in your family or your friends circle or your colleagues have achieved, that could be the beginning of your signature story.
