Let's talk about something a lot of us ponder over—teleprompters. Do we love them, hate them, or just not want to mess with them at all? Well, as someone who’s spent years in front of the camera, here’s my take.

Teleprompters can be both a friend and a foe. They're fantastic when you're super keen on hitting all your key points, like when you’re talking about a new product or service. But, and it’s a big but, they can make you sound robotic. And that's a no-go if your aim is to connect deeply with your audience. Trust me, people want the vibrant, human you—not a monotone reader.

My advice? Ditch the prompter when you can. Jot down a few key bullet points and speak from the heart. Your authenticity will shine through, and that's what engages people. But if you find yourself needing that safety net of a teleprompter, practice until your reading voice sounds as lively as your speaking one.

In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn:

She shared her game-changing “3W Technique” (Wish, Want, Walk)—a method that helps professionals hone in on their ideal goal, their acceptable middle ground, and their dealbreaker. It was such a great reminder of the power of preparation and entering negotiations with evidence of your worth in hand.
