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

Perfectionism and the desire to be good enough

I had this belief, I needed to show up or at least appear to be perfect in the outside world. The truth is, deep down inside being perfect is a race you’ll never win. I discovered that by giving up my need to be perfect.

I got so much more, including clients, abundance, and opportunity.

I dive deep into this perfect topic (pun intended) and if you feel the need to be perfect I’m sure you’ll walk away with a few tips to try and ditch perfectionism.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How perfectionism showed up at the beginning of my speaking career and why I felt the need to be perfect
• What gifts were available to me once I dropped the need to be perfect and how it will work for you also
• How you can get started today getting your message out there while embracing and loving the very unique version of you, that no one else can ever mimic.

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?

Here’s a short rundown of this episode:

• 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

PLUS, if you’re just starting out in business, I’m sharing how you can build your business with the power of three in mind!

If you’re a high-achiever, you’re always on the lookout for that edge to goal setting.

Feel like your thoughts and ideas are all over the place? You got a thousand ideas of what to share in your keynote presentation, podcast interviews or videos. Whee do you begin and even better, where do you draw the line?

In this episode, I’m discussing this study that was done on children at a playground with and without boundaries. The first time I heard about this study, I found it fascinating. The findings are a great example of human behavior and you know how I geek out on neuroscience.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• The Playground study can be found here. 
• How you can use boundaries to craft a presentation that gets you booked on repeat. Also, consider how these findings can be used in other areas of your life.
• Writing a keynote, crafting videos or communicating with confidence comes down to sharing the right information, not all the information.

“Boundaries are not for other people, boundaries are for you. It is your job to enforce those boundaries.”

How to pitch podcasts for visibility is your gold mine to other people's stages.

There’s a right way and a wrong to pitch for those elusive free publicity moments. Whether you’re pitching yourself for podcasts, speaking events or TV, you’ll want to follow these guidelines to hear YES.

This week I’ve brought on Christina Nicholson, a mother of three, TV host, and business owner who knows more about pitching since she has her own PR Agency.

Christina started her PR agency, Media Maven, after working as a TV anchor and reporter for more than 10 years with an infant and toddler at home. In four years, she grew Media Maven to a million-dollar business with a remote team… and added another baby at home during that time!

Christina is also the host of the Become A Media Maven podcast and the founder of Podcast Clout, a podcast database that makes it easier for PR professionals to build podcast pitch lists.

In Boca Raton, Christina gave a TEDx talk titled, “Fake News: It’s Your Fault” that has tens of thousands of views on YouTube.

You can still see her in front of the camera as a host on Lifetime TV, in national commercials, on the TEDx stage, and read her work online in Huff Post, Thrive Global, Inc. Magazine, Business Insider, Fast Company, and Boss Babe. She was selected as an Oprah Magazine Insider and Ambassador out of thousands of applicants.
