April 15, 2016 100: MMM - On the Speaker Mindset, Part Three
It's part Three!
If you haven't yet listened to Part One ("I can't wait to share this with
them!")
and Part Two ("It is what it is, so I might as well
enjoy it.")...
Go for it.
Because Part Three is all about audience. Luckily, focus has
been brought to the audience much more in recent years. But this
isn't about creating your content so it's relevant for your
audience (which is essential, of course).
No - today is about keeping your HEART (and your mind) focused
on your audience.
Ultimately, this isn't about you; you are simply - and
wonderfully - the conduit for the message. So you can let go of the
me-me-me worries. No one is thinking of you quite as much as you
are.
The awesome John Noltner (a guest from Season 1) talks about how
he found himself as a speaker by reminding himself that he is
simply the messenger. It kept the focus on the right thing - the
impact we want to have, on the people who are sitting in front of
us.
You are there to serve your audience. And that idea should
liberate you - free you from the self-focus that can sometimes
weigh us down.
When you are interested in and care about your audience - they
feel that. And, perhaps more importantly - YOU feel it.

April 13, 2016 099 – Kenya Pope – On Overcoming Our Fear of What’s Possible
I have done some writing recently about how important it is to get a
handle on our internal mindset before we step out on stage. So
it was so wonderful to talk with Kenya Pope –
an author, speaker, artist and coach - whose mission is to help
heart-centered entrepreneurs make money while they make a
difference. To eradicate the “starving” artist notion! That is a
worthy cause!
And here's what I can tell you about Kenya: she has a beautiful
spirit! In our brief time together, we connected through her
artistry - her poetry, her singing, her stories. Clearly, Kenya
knows how to make an impact. She is unabashedly "woo-woo" - and
brings her fascinating and eccentric experience, world view, spirit
and love with her in this conversation. It's "woo-woo" - and it's
full of life. Enjoy!
(A small warning for those who are sensitive about language:
Kenya does use some spirited language a few times... nothing
shocking (and I love her spirit!), but probs not for the kids'
ears. Fair warning!)

April 08, 2016 098: MMM - On the Speaker Mindset, Part Two
Last week in Part One of this series, we talked about the
importance of walking into the room to give a talk with the mindset
of "I can't wait to share this with
them."
It's about turning your fear into excitement.
And I know it's more complicated than just saying it over and
over again in your head, but truly, saying it over and over again
in your head helps. Eventually, you convince yourself. (Not unlike
those power stances; sometimes we have to trick
ourselves into feeling confident.)
Today's mindset - part two - is about embracing the live theater
aspect to this awesome work. We need the mindset of "It
is what it is - so I might as well enjoy it."
Improv, anyone? Live theater! Who knows what will go wrong, but
you can count on something going wrong, and most of the time it's
not the thing we expect. How cool is that?! Sometimes, not cool
-but guess what? You can't do a darn thing about it.
So - you might as well make the best of it.

April 06, 2016 097: Michelle Mazur - On Being a Rebel Speaker
When I had the awesome Michelle Evans on the show a few weeks back,
she suggested that I connect with Michelle Mazur, my guest on
today’s show. The crazy thing is, I had JUST found Michelle
organically and was already in the process of scheduling some time
with her! I love this small world. Michelle is a “rebel speaker”
and presentation coach – meaning that she bucks the trends that are
worth bucking (something I always cheer on). Gotta love that. And,
she has a passion for encouraging women speakers on the importance
and value of the business side of speaking. She is passionate,
savvy and though she takes the business of speaking seriously, she
doesn't take herself too seriously - something I appreciate.
Let me just point this out right now: Michelle has a Facebook group for speakers that I'm
in, and that has been a wonderful way to connect with other
speakers who are trying to turn their love of speaking into part of
their business. Check it out!

April 01, 2016 096: MMM - On the Speaker Mindset, Part One
Something that comes up time and time again in my coaching is
the idea that this is an emotional journey as much as it is a skill
journey. We can learn how to deliver better and differently; we can
spend hours upon hours navigating and editing our content until
it's lovely and perfect; we can make a killer and beautiful slide
deck. But who are we when we step out on "stage"?
Let me be clear: I am not a psychologist. Not even close. But I
often help people with all the baggage that comes with us up on
stage. And we do indeed bring all our baggage with us up on stage
and into rehearsals! Fears, assumptions, myths, old adages and
leftover 7th grade scars. Yay! It's all a part of us!
Aside from doing the hard work of dealing with all of that -
some of which is beyond my scope as an armchair
psychologist/presentation coach, of course -
Well, we can do our best to control the incredibly powerful
thoughts that come into our minds.

March 30, 2016 095: Oscar Santolalla - On Giving a Killer Technical Presentation
Oscar is a fellow in this band of presentation podcast fellows,
which includes many wonderful people (see also: Lea Pica)! We support
each other. So, when Oscar let me know that he’s starting a
crowd-funding campaign for his next book called “Giving a
Killer Technical Presentation” and wondered if we could
talk about what that means… I thought two things: 1) what is a
technical presentation? And 2) You bet! Oscar is the podcast host
of Time to Shine, an interview-based podcast about public
speaking, and he has been studying and is now speaking about what
it means to give a killer technical presentation – the likes of
Steve Jobs and Guy Kawasaki.
I have to admit: these kinds of presentations aren't normally my
jam. The selling - the 'reveal' - but I'm reminded in watching
these and talking with Oscar how important they've been to us as a
culture. Taking our ideas and turning them into realities. Sharing
IDEAS as much as they are a commercial. When done right, they are
about more than the stuff.
