If you want to stand out in any industry or company, learn to speak and communicate with confidence. Whether you’re a careerist, employed by an organization or working for yourself and building your own company, public speaking skills will have you standing out, being seen and the one that gets promoted and hired. From my executive coaching day, I know as you climb the corporate ladder, the more meetings you’ll attend and will need to speak up. Bright people get passed over for promotions because they didn’t want to stand out and speak up. After our work together they became more confident speaking to one and many. Career changer! Speaking is the fastest way to grow your business. The time to get seen and heard is right now. Stop struggling to build your business and fill your client roster, when you can easily be positioned as the expert and monetize your authority.

Check out this episode to learn more how speaking skills changed my life and how you can learn from the steps I took to now call myself a ‘reformed shy gal.’

Here’s a snippet of what you’ll learn:

• Most people aren’t afraid of speaking in public, they’re afraid of what others will think. That internal judgment is holding you back and here’s how to overcome that judgment.
• Speaking and communication skills never go out of style. Learn how to leverage these skills to elevate your personal brand to get promoted and hired by your ideal clients. 
• If you’re ready to get started, here are a few tips to get you started a little step at a time that you can incorporate into your career and business easily today.

It’s never too late to learn the timeless skill of speaking or communicating with confidence.

Improving your health and growing your business have more in common than meets the eye.

3 weeks on a restricted diet to cleanse my body gave me invaluable lessons to growing my business. The recommendation for the diet came at an important time in my journey to remain healthy and vibrant.

My health has always been a top priority of mine. I took a good look at how I prepared for this cleanse, had a start and finish date, set myself up for success and the data I collected along the way. I applied those exact principles to building my business.

How you do one thing, is how you do everything.

Besides releasing toxins and unwanted weight, I learned a great deal about growing a successful and profitable business. In this episode, I share the lessons I learned to improve my health and how growing my business is the same. 

Check out what you’ll learn:

• Doing the work and working the plan isn’t always glamorous and the results are never instantaneous.
• Any change starts on the inside before it’s ever seen on the outside by others. How your inside is the foundation to creating the results on the outside, which continues to feed your motivation and enthusiasm.
• How making a decision, going all in on that decision and seeing yourself at the finish line is exactly how all goals are achieved. There’s strategy and action behind every goal.

PLUS, I was launching a new program while in the middle of my cleanse and how that kept me busy.

Jeremy DeMerchant, a student of mine in programs I've hosted along with hiring me for a personalized approach to work on his signature speech and speaking skills.

We also discuss Toastmasters in this episode. Jeremy's a fan of Toastmasters, speaking contest winner and has held numerous leadership positions within the organization. We discuss how easy it is to hide and the limitations to really understanding the audience engagement within Toastmasters.
