The Mike Drop Moment

I know so many of the people listening to this show are interested in becoming online course creators.

Dr. Lindsay Padialla is on today's show to talk about online courses. Not just about the online marketing side, but about how to become an actual teacher.

She has a big mission of teaching teachers how to be entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, how to be better teachers.

We talk about online courses, being a good teacher and everything that it takes to really engage your students in this episode.

I was taking notes the entire time because I have a new online course and group coaching program I'm working on and I wanted to get it right, so I was excited about this interview.

So often as public speakers, storytellers, and entrepreneurs we ruin our stories by cutting to the ending too soon. We don’t bring our audience into our story.

In this episode of the were going to talk about why you need to show your audience the full monty.

Also, I’ve got a wine pairing this week that’s sure to make you perk up for this episode of Wine+Wisdom Wednesday.

So not only are we going to talk about getting familiar with your audience and helping get your audience familiar with your story. I’m pairing it with a really cool wine you’ve probably never heard of.

This week's wine is from Dirty and Rowdy Winery from California. I'm drinking the Familiar Mourvedre -- which pairs nicely with making your audience familiar with your characters.

D’Arcy Webb – a.k.a the Speech Diva – is the head of voice training for Heroic Public Speaking Worldwide. For more than two decades, she’s helped actors, performers, corporate executives, authors and speakers use their voices to connect with audiences around the world with power, eloquence and heart.

​As a member of the voice and speech faculty at the University of Arts in Philadelphia and Drexel University, D’Arcy works with hundreds of new and seasoned performers to make their words resonate with clarity, precision and confidence. 

Keynote speaker and retired TEDx Cambridge Executive Producer, Tamsen Webster, calls D’Arcy’s work “magic.” “She produces instantaneous yet lasting effects,” Tamsen says, “All while being the kind of person you want to hug (and do) or could cry in front of (and do).”

D’Arcy’s love of language is contagious. She believes every word is a story in itself. Her favorite words are diaphanous, ephemeral and squat. After just one session with D’Arcy, clients and students discover a passion for the power of the spoken word they never thought possible.
