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

Once upon a time…..you won't believe what happened to me...I was working with this client….

Stories are all around us and can draw in your audience and prospective client with a few lines. Not only are our brains hardwired for stories, they help your listener picture exactly what you’re sharing. Maybe stories should be part of your customer experience.

Today’s storytelling expert and guest will tell us more.

Lisa Bloom, founder of Story Coach, works with organizations developing leaders, creative yet resilient cultures, and leading powerful change processes with the power of storytelling. She works with entrepreneurs and business owners to help them find confidence, attract ideal clients, and find their success story.  And she trains coaches to use storytelling as a powerful approach to impact their clients and grow their business.   

Lisa is a professional Storyteller, accredited Coach, Author, Mentor and Leadership expert. Her ground-breaking techniques have enabled her to grow her business and take to the stage where she speaks internationally about this approach to business, leadership and coaching.

Here's a snapshot of our conversation:

• Stories are all around you in the everyday moments of your life.
• Why stories (plural) need to be part of your everyday content and sales process.
• How Lisa got into and felt at home the moment she walked into a storytelling workshop, which changed her life.

Who you believe you are is what the world sees and feels.

It might seem trivial to start calling yourself a speaker even before you give your first speech but it makes all the difference in so many ways. Your identity is what you believe about yourself and impacts the way you’re showing up in the world and online. If you're waiting to call yourself a coach, consultant or speaker, you’re working against the current.

Learn how stepping into what you’ve been called to do and how you serve people will make a bigger impact with those you’re here to help. You acknowledging and owning the identity is the first step into you and those who are going to hire you feel comfortable and confident in their decision.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• What you call yourself is as important if not more so then the experience you have. This is especially true with speaking, because you don’t become a speaker after so many speeches.
• Your identity plays a huge role in how your show up and he energy you give off to the world.
• How fully embodying your identity will make those who are booking and hiring you feel more confident in their decision, which will get you more bookings.

The hardest and most gratifying work you’ll ever do is on the person you’re becoming. 

That’s what I believe and I walk my talk. My own personal journey has allowed me to find and dismantle what once kept me small. Walking this path and doing the work allows me to see exactly what the blindspots are that are keeping my clients from moving forward in pursuing their dreams. It’s these very things that also prevent them from deeply connecting with their audience when they speak.

This episode is about how the self work is never a wasted journey and touches so many areas of your life.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How not feeling worthy of anything puts you on the hamster wheel to prove yourself constantly and what you can do about it.
• 
  
• Learning to love yourself, leads to trusting yourself which is key to building a strong foundation for everything in your life. 
• 
  
• How all of my personal growth, experience and observations make me a better coach, person and speaker. 
• 
  
• The results my clients get when we work today is life changing because I see the signs what we need to work on to help them show up 110% as the real version of themselves.

What others say about you has nothing to do with you personally.

Too many times I see people taking feedback as a personal judgment on them and their character. That’s not what feedback is at all and it took me a long time to understand that. 

Today, I see feedback through a different lense and it’s the way I support my clients in reviewing feedback as well. I’ll take you BTS as I review feedback from a recent presentation and you’ll hear what I’ll do next time as a result of one person’s honest feedback.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• Feedback is never about you personally and how to see it through the lense of the person giving the feedback
• How I appreciate the neutral and not so positive feedback for my next speech. You can apply this theory to programs you run.
• How to be curious when reviewing feedback and what to do afterwards that will get you more opportunities, from speaking gigs to more clients.

PLUS, I’m walking you through the feedback I got from a recent presentation.

Stories sell ideas, products, services and beliefs! Tell the right story.

Telling yourself the right story is one of the stories that you need to be repeating to yourself but what about others? Stories are the mental picture books that help your audience see and feel themselves inside your story.

Sharing your story is part of building the know, like and trust with others. Your story needs to be a part of your marketing plan.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• 81% of people want to write a book and share their story. Few actually write or decide to tell their story and why you don’t need to be a part of that group.
• How stories need to be a part of your selling cycle and used when leading and influencing others.
• What your audience “sees” when they hear your story and the evidence it give them.

PLUS, why you only need a few stories to tell again and again.

I’m taking you behind the scenes or into my brain when I first start crafting a signature talk. This is the exact process I use for myself and my clients, which I created years ago.

STOP climbing more than one mountain at a time. 

Having a business and being successful means really dialing in to the right people to help. Most business owners try to cast a wide net to help as many people as possible and it works against them everytime.

The easiest and fastest way to get booked by clients and stages is to be crystal clear on the people who are in that audience. There is an association and industry meeting for every single group of people and interest. Getting specific will help you find the perfect people to talk in front of and serve.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• You’re doing your audience and industry a favor when you decide on the specific group of people you work with or the problem you solve
• Go an inch wide and a mile deep is easier said than done but will position you as the expert that gets hired
• When you climb to the top of one mountain, others can see you from the tops of other mountains.
