This episodes guest is Cathlyn Melvin, a  coach and copywriter who helps mission driven businesses and experts by providing not only bespoke copywriting services but also by TEDx Coaching, designed to guide her clients to create the TEDx Talk that will inspire and inform their target audience of their true and heartfelt motivation and message.

With a degree in theatre performance, a minor in writing, and over a decade as an educator, professional actor, and entrepreneur, she draws on diverse experiences to lift the voices of mission-driven leaders.

John and Cathlyn discuss the TEDx forum and how Cathlyn helps her clients access it effectively, preparation and nerves, theatre performance, introversion and social anxiety and the importance of cultivating business relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• TEDx talks are a maximum of 18 minutes and are on average about 12. Cathlyn helps clients distil their talk into an ‘idea worth spreading’.
• When giving a talk, preparation is key to defeating nerves. In TEDx talks, the only rules are timescale, no pseudoscience or religion and no promotions so the opportunity to express your individuality is available.
• Acting gave Cathlyn her skills and confidence in performance and presentation. Cathlyn is actually introverted and has social anxiety so it is perfectly possible to work in fields of public performance with these issues.
• The significance of relationships to find business is important.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The work that I do really is all about that message that is on your heart. I help my clients get that message out into the world because so much of the time as business owners we know what’s important to us, we know what we have that can really make an impact on the world, but we’re not sure of the words to use to channel that.’ – Cathlyn

‘The whole reason that you get up and talk is to connect. Is to share your feelings, not just your intellectual ideas but the feelings that those ideas are rooted in.’ – Cathlyn

‘For about eight years I also owned my first business which was touring children’s theatre. We would send theatre educators to all different communities across the United States.’ – Cathlyn  

‘What made you change? It sounds to me like it was quite fulfilling and was a good space for you to be in, what made you move away from the acting?’ – John

‘Even in a situation like this where, John, you and I are having a conversation where people are going to listen in later, those relationships are still being built. Even if I’m never aware of Susie who’s out there listening right now.’ – Cathlyn
