  • 28: Elevated Awareness: Your Comfort Zone Is Killing You
    Your comfort zone is killing you.
    If you ever wonder why you're not growing or transforming, why things are staying the same... most likely, it's because you are TOO COMFORTABLE.
    Transformation never happens within the limits of your comfort zones. If you want to see changes you've never seen, you must do things you've never done, most of which will be uncomfortable.
    How do you make stepping out of your comfort zone a habit? Tune in to this Elevated Awareness segment and be complacent no more.

    It's super important to not go over your allotted time, for many reasons (outlined in this episode). But it's not always as easy as it sounds. How do you condense your message, get your key points across, AND finish on time?
    Tune in to find out how to become an expert at this.

  • 26: Staying on Topic
    "Oh no. How could this happen to me?!"
    You ask this in your mind as you watch witness your train of thought vanish. You're abandoned, left with fear and uncertainty.
    Dramatic? Maybe. But this is how veering off topic while speaking to others can feel. This isn't something you, or your audience, should be subjected to.
    You should be able to deliver your thoughts with precision and accuracy. If you have issues with rambling and staying on topic, fret not. Tune in to flex your speaking muscles.

    What comes to mind when you hear word 'critique'? What about feedback?
    If they make you uncomfortable, or you tend to shy away from them - that's normal human behavior. We generally don't like anything that makes us uncomfortable. BUT: evaluation/feedback is one of the BEST ways to transform not only as a speaker, but a person.
    Find out why evaluation is the secret weapon that not many people talk about. This is not an overstatement: it will change your life.
