  • 210: What MLK and Oprah Can Teach Us Today

    About a week ago, I got to see Oprah in action. #DREAMCOMETRUE.

    And today is MLK day. A day I cannot let go by without paying homage to his mission, his words - and his ability to lead and create needed change.

    These two amazing humans are very different leaders in their own right. And sitting in Oprah's audience I had a big AHA about what real leadership looks like - and what our audiences need from us.

    So - check out this week's episode to hear more about what MLK and Oprah can teach us as we bring our messages out into the world more this year!

  • 209: 2020, the year of the LEAP
    Over and over again, I hear even my experienced speakers say things to me like… Thanks for the nudge, I need to get out there more. And - I have been quieter than I want, I need to speak up. And - I have been struggling with some self-doubt, thanks for the encouragement. And part of what I LOVE to do, is help people take bigger LEAPS in their speaking. To not think small, think big. To move beyond the expected, to tell the story you've been secretly working on but aren't sure you can share.... In 2020 - We will take bigger leaps TOGETHER! And we'll start with this 4-part series on what Leaping in our Speaking really means. ARE YOU READY?!

  • 208 - Why Leaders Need to be Storytellers [Enrollment closes today!]

    So - today I'm talking about a BIG IDEA that's deeply embedded in my Speaking Story course that is open right now… and that is this:

    Speakers are Leaders and Leaders are speakers… But what about the need for STORYTELLING as a leader? We have something to say - but a story to tell? And, are we willing to tell it? I want to make an argument for you why storytelling is THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL IN YOUR SPEAKING TOOLKIT.

  • 207: The (real) ROI of a Powerful Story

    I believe in the power and value of story. But what's the real VALUE of a story? I've helped people tell a story that landed a multi-million dollar deal. I've helped people tell a story that went viral on YouTube and Facebook. I've helped peoples stand in their own vulnerable story, and watched it move an audience - impact people - CREATE the emotion and feeling that ushers in change.

    So - let's talk about the REAL ROI on a powerful story. www.speakingstory.com

  • 205: Three Things To Cut From Your Stories
    I'm a BIG BELIEVER in editing! Editing is one of those skills as a speaker we don't often talk about - but I think of editing as a leadership tool. It forces you to decide not just what you're going to say -= but what you aren't. It forces you to amok some decisions about what's most important, most needed. And as I was thinking about how editing interacts with storytelling - I kept thinking of a few "extra" things that seem to creep up in people's stories, and that just don't help you make your point well. They get in the way - they slow you down - they confuse the audience - they make it harder to deliver - they keep you from really excelling at this art form. So - let's dive in…. 3 things you need to cut from your story:

    On today's episode we're going to be talking about the biggest hangup I see again and again with speakers as they begin to develop their story… And I want to get it out there so that - even if you don't end up taking the course with me next month, you avoid this hangup…

  • 202: Which Story Do I Share?

    One of the biggest questions speakers ask themselves before starting a talk is… which story do I tell? We know stories are essential and powerful - but WHICH story can determine how well your audience connects with you, and your idea. Check out this week's episode to learn the 8 qualities that can help you assess your story (plus - a free download to help you!).
