Public Speaking, Confidence, Storytelling, Selling, Personal Brand, Career Advancement: Be In Demand

As business owners, most of us know that a confused mind never buys. We understand that it’s important to not overwhelm our audience with too many options.

However, what about the power of choice? Is it possible that we’re losing potential clients by not having enough options?

• What’s magical about the number three to use in your business
• Understanding the human brain (and how this applies to potential clients)
• Why I always have multiple ways clients can work with me

Let’s face it. People hire EXPERTS. And there are 7,500 opportunities a day to highlight yourself as one.

Yes, that’s the magic of being a speaker! When you’re booked for events (in person and virtually), you’re positioned as the expert and your audience are pre-qualified leads.

What most entrepreneurs don’t know is this opportunity to speak happens 7,500 every single day and that’s just here in the US. Imagine the opportunities globally.

To top it off, you don’t need to have any previous experience in speaking! And you don;t need to wait till you’ve been in business for so many years before you get started speaking. What you do need is to know how to get booked for these events.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How you can tap into these 7,500+ opportunities
• Right now you have a warm list of places to reach out to today, hang around others so you can actually start filling your calendar with bookings.
• My theory on pitching yourself to speak to associations and events that actually works and builds relationships without sounding spammy.

There’s more to overcoming an obstacle than just satisfaction!

If you want to be in business, you’ll need to accept that obstacles are part of the game. There’s one thing to know when something hard happens, we want to avoid it at all cost. But you can’t avoid obstacles forever. You’ll need to face them.

In this episode, I dive deep into what’s really happening to you and your brain when challenges happen. You can do hard things and what you’ll teach your nervous system in the end will pay you back the biggest dividend.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• What’s really going on inside your nervous system and how you can use this information to hack or trick yourself into completing hard things.
• Hear my raw honest story about avoiding hard things and how I turned things around. I even include my mantra which I still use to this day.
• How my clients come to me not knowing how to speak with confidence in front of the camera or put a converting presentation together but learned. And now they’re able to leverage speaking opportunities and easily speak to audiences of all sizes.

PLUS, obstacles are like walls. They’re only there to see how badly you want to get to the other side.

Looking back to move forward with purpose and intentionality!

This has been a year of both ups and downs. I’m not disappointed this chapter is coming to end. Along with my love-hate relationships with rollercoasters, it’s a great metaphor for life. Learning from the ups and downs is where the valuable lessons are to utilize in the future.

As a coach, I’m always stressing to my clients to look back to move forward. Let’s look back on the past 365 days to move into the next 365.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How I lost sight of a goal because it wasn’t something I was tracking very well, which allowed it to fall off my radar. Here’s exactly how I reignited that goal and the lessons I learned you can use in reaching your goals this year.
• How speaking up without thinking has moved me forward multiple times in my business. This is exactly how I became the co-host of the Contagious Leadership Show, a weekly live show. 
• Why I took my unique process for crafting speeches with private clients and put it into an 8-week course. What I learned from the process about myself and how it’s helping more people at once get their message out into the world. To get on the waitlist for the next round of In Demand Signature Speech go to www.SpeakAndStandOut.com/SS
• How my human design both helps me and can hold me back.

Here’s to your great year filled with success and sharing your message!

Get off the social media treadmill to nowhere and start making an impact.

Speaking, in person or virtual is never a one-and-done event. As a matter of fact, when you’re the hired speaker at an event your audience is 96% more likely going to remember you and 67% likely to refer you to someone who needs your services.

In this episode, I dive into exactly how one event will literally open more doors for you in the future. I’m sharing my own experience, along with a client’s story, who overcame her fear of speaking and is now considered the Famous Home Organizer. 

Maybe you’d like to go from speaking to TV to being hired to write a book for your industry to becoming an Amazon Best Seller and creating an evergreen course. Yes? Well, let’s dive in.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• Unlike other forms of social media where folks are scrolling by, speaking allows you to have all eyes and ears on you. That captive audience will remember you.
• Audiences will follow you, join your email list, visit your website, and remember you the next time they need to hire someone with your expertise.
• Plus, I’m sharing a couple of real-life stories of myself and clients where one speaking event lead to more opportunities.

Give your business the gift that makes a difference for you and your audience.
