Public speaking is said to be the most feared activity by people everywhere. Why is speaking publicly so important for writers, and can we really learn how to do it well? Linda's guest, Karen Porter, shares how anyone can be a better speaker by following a few time-proven strategies.

Karen Porter is a professional speaker and writer coach, an international speaker, a successful businesswoman, and the award-winning author of seven books. She is co-owner with her husband, George, of Bold Vision Books, a traditional publishing company. 

During this encore episode, Linda and Karen discuss:

  • How to find the subject matter to speak on?   
  • How to get comfortable on any stage.
  • The importance of having a "neutral" position.
  • How to build a speaking platform.
  • And more!

Karen says her greatest achievement is her marriage to George. In her spare time, she follows her lifelong quest to find the perfect purse.
