Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies

The Heart of Your Message: Why Emotion is Your Secret Speaking Superpower


Listen Later

As speakers and entrepreneurs, we often focus on the facts, data, and tactics we want to share – but what about the emotional connection?

In this episode, I talk about the power of finding the emotional heart of your message and why it’s essential for creating talks that resonate deeply with your audience and leave a lasting impact.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the emotional heart of your message is critical for building trust and connection
  • How mirror neurons make our brains wired for empathy and why that matters in storytelling
  • Examples from popular culture, including Hamilton and Taylor Swift, that demonstrate the power of emotional storytelling
  • How to uncover your own emotional heart by tapping into experiences of loss, struggle, or transformation
  • A personal story about facing resistance in my purpose – and the lessons I learned from it
  • Practical steps to include the emotional heart in your next talk or presentation

Think about a story or experience that’s deeply meaningful to you – one that still tugs at your heart. How can you weave that into your next presentation to create a lasting impact on your audience?
