Want to get better at public speaking AND you like games? This episode is for you!

I am a huge fan of learning through play (duuh - that is a big part of what I do!) and communicating powerfully.

However, I have my insecurities around public speaking, especially as English is not my first language, I think in images, and sometimes I keep debating in my mind what words to use from the 4 languages I speak to best express what I want to say.

That is why I reached out to Shelley and Mark from Remarkable Speaking, and they really helped me!  I got them on the podcast to demo some fun speaking games and debunk a few myths!!

Here is the rundown:

👉00:02:01 Rapid Fire Questions

👉00:15:40 Question 1: How can I stop using filler words

👉00:22:27 Speaking Game: Analogies Rapid Fire

👉00:32:57 Question 2: English is not my first language, how can I be a confident speaker?

👉00:43:17 Speaking Game: Snow Globe

More fun stuff:

🔥Why breathing will save your butt when speaking

🔥The most embarrassing story (that I wish I edited out…)

🔥How to help people to connect with your stories

🔥And many laughs, games and deep questions

More about Shelley and Mark:

As founders of Remarkable Speaking, Shelley Goldstein and Mark Bossert created a transformational and gamified coaching method serving those who speak to connect, inform, and influence with confidence, clarity and courage.

Shelley has been on a communications journey for 25+ years. Learning from her own speaking challenges, she realized that everyone can be a leader at every level and experience a true sense of belonging.

Mark started training in hypnosis and NLP 30 years ago with certifications in both disciplines. Behind that desire to be a better communicator was a deep fear of being fully seen, of being found to be “not good enough”.

Shelley and Mark have coached hundreds of people in over 40 countries from a vast array of industries. The duo’s unique and fun coaching methods help today’s top business executives and career professionals access full self-expression with meaningful and engaging speaking.
