elevating your speaking skills

We’ve all heard versions of the phrase “there are really no new ideas” and “there are thousands of people who do what you do”, so when it comes to speaking on platforms and stages…

How do you talk about something that has already been heard?
How do you find an angle that’s unique and refreshing?
How detailed or broad should your topics be?
Can I talk about stories?
Does it all have to be “teachy” how to?

So. Many. Questions.

And if you’re anything like my clients, the truth is you have DOZENS of things you *could* talk about.

But the question is, how do you craft topics that are both compelling, but also align with your strategic business goals (remember those?😜)

In today's episode I’m doing something I’ve never done before and airing a REAL coaching call where I help a lucky business owner extract the genius out of their head and into 6 (yes SIX!) magnetic speaking topics that they can use for pitching podcasts and stages this year.

I hope this episode will get you fired up to nail your topics so that when invites come your way— or you find an opportunity you want to pitch— you are prepped and ready to pounce!

In the online space we’re fed this idea that selling should be hands off–but could skipping sales calls be doing your business a disservice?

It’s the tool every business owner needs so you’re empowered to confidently say yes, without needing to reinvent the wheel every time you take the stage. Tune into this episode to find out how to use a signature talk to keep you in the spotlight, build your brand, and cement your status as the go-to expert in your niche, even in your busiest of times.

Is your message catnip to your audience? 

Clarity in your message comes from taking action over and over. The more you speak, the more you learn about what creates those “aha” moments where your message clicks with your audience.  

Yet, so many business owners try to think their way through why their messaging isn’t landing. They’re caught in the perfection trap leading them to believe they don’t belong on stage until everything is figured out. The truth is they’d get a lot further faster by testing it in front of an audience. 

That’s exactly what Merritt Onsa, a dream coach, who helps Christian women step into their purpose, experienced. Fast forward to today, and Merritt just had FOUR speaking opportunities offered to her! 

Merritt dropped gems in this conversation that will hit home for any business owner wanting to improve their messaging, tune in to hear our conversation.

Imposter syndrome can strike anyone, leading to battles with self-doubt and an inner voice who notices every fumble so it hisses unhelpful things like, “you don’t know what you’re doing” or “you’re an idiot.”

After 20+years as a speaker, I know first-hand that voice never quite goes away. But, I’ve also learned there are plenty of ways to shush it. 

And that’s what Sydnea Lewis, a Signature Talk Accelerator alumni, joined me to discuss. 

Sydnea is an experienced brand and marketing strategist and college professor, yet a year ago she found herself sharing her ideas and avoiding social interactions with peers and on social media.

Yep, imposter syndrome had Sydnea in its grips, but her experience in the Signature Talk Accelerator gave her practical tactics to embrace the fear of speaking and move forward despite it.

Fair warning: As always, you’re in for a real discussion. None of us has it all together. We’re all works in progress, but the insights you’ll take away from our conversation will propel you forward on your journey to becoming a more confident speaker.

In this episode, Sydnea and I discuss:

• The imposter syndrome struggle experts face
• One mindset shift which hugely dials down your nerves
• The messy middle of getting your first talk done
• A strategy to keep your talk focused even when you go off on a tangent
• To script or not to script
• Why critiques are a crucial part of improvement, even though they feel scary
• The joy of the speaking snowball effect
• How getting comfortable with discomfort leads to growth in your personal life

Dream of making an impact with your message?

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or have a message in your heart you know the world needs to hear, your voice is the most powerful tool in your toolbox to reach the people you want to serve. 

By sharing your ideas and experiences it’s possible to profoundly impact your audience's lives. In fact, I’ll step up onto my soapbox and say if you have the ability to help others it’s your duty to do just that. 

Often people with a desire to help people feel conflicted about muddying their mission by trying to make money, but to effectively be a catalyst for change, you’ll need to confidently sell your ideas without guilt. And having a passion for helping others doesn’t need to equal pennilessness, friends. If you want to keep sharing your gifts with the world, you’ll need to make money too. 

In this episode, you’ll hear…

• Why honoring your audience is the cornerstone of driving real change
• One shift that elevates how you serve others with your message
• The relationship between money and mission
• How competence leads to confidence on stage
• The real deal on feeling weird about your calling
• A tough love pep talk on speaking with purpose
• What it means to sell your ideas

Are you an 11th hour presentation prepper? Pride yourself on your knack for ‘speaking off the cuff’ on stage? Consider yourself charismatic? 

While these qualities can help you navigate all kinds of scenarios, if you've developed a habit of preparing your talk at the last minute, then there’s a good chance your message is getting muddy.

Consequently, making it difficult for your audience to decide if they want more from you, because you’re forcing them to weed through stories, details, and ideas that aren’t necessarily relevant to them. 

But what if you decided to strategically plan how to land the plane on your next talk, so your audience felt deeply seen and heard and you felt confident you’re on the right track to hit your goals?

Well, I know what would happen, and my instinct is you do too. Your next talk would have a more tangible ROI than praise, claps, or kudos. 

Tune in and hear:

• Why winging it on stage is an ego play, not a strategic move
• What your audience wants from you every single time
• Why being prepared isn’t the same as being boring or scripted
• The reputation and revenue risk
• Whether you might be a ‘Winging it Wanda’ 
• How to start preparing for the wins you want from the stage

When most entrepreneurs think of speaking, they think of either professional speakers charging a fee for their talk or speaking for free to get experience to eventually command a fee. But this concept of trading money for time wasn’t why you built your business, and speaking for free without a strategy isn’t going to lead you towards the results you want. The good news is that this isn’t the only way to speak to get results in your business.  

In today's episode, I'm sharing with you my interview on the Sweet Life Podcast with April Beach where I explain the two types of speaking business models you can use to grow your business. We’re going to dig into my unique approach to sales and will share with you the step by step process to effectively use speaking opportunities into a money maker for your biz.

This conversation is filled with GOLD and tangible strategies so be sure you don’t miss this one!

In this podcast interview with April, I share:

• How speaking fits into your business and how you can leverage this to grow your business
• The types of Speaking Business Models and understanding which one aligns with your goals and strategies
• The importance of having a signature talk—one that connects to your offers and to the solutions that you provide
• Why listening to your prospect and understanding the context of their problems are critical steps for a successful sales call
• My unique approach to sales—3 steps that you can follow to effectively use speaking to grow your business

Lindsay Rogers is a former journalist and founder of Raw Strategy where she teaches people to tell stories for a living, yet she found herself facing something relatable: having difficulty figuring out how to tell her own story and how to translate the message in her marketing materials to the stage.

That’s why when she was asked to speak, Lindsay raised her hand to join my signature talk program and later on, work 1-on-1 too.  

Lindsay’s story is proof you don’t need to earn the right to get paid to speak by putting in time on different stages. Instead, she knew she wanted paid speaking as a revenue wheel from the get-go. 

If you’ve ever wondered if your message or expertise is worthy of earning you money as a paid speaker, tune into this inspiring episode that will have you shooting for the stars.

In this episode, Lindsay shares: 

• Why she had to dismantle herself from the inside out to translate written messages to spoken messages
• All the internal junk that popped up, leaving her feeling exposed and how she handled it
• How she got paid well to speak right from the beginning 
• Why learning to trust yourself is the key to feeling confident on stage
• Her experience combatting the curse of knowledge with my Script-ish and bucketizing process 
• Figuring out what to do with her body on stage 
• On-stage moments that made her realize she was doing the thing she was meant to do
• How one talk led to $100,000 in the last year

Liz Wilcox is the Fresh Princess of Email and a keynote speaker, a former client of mine who built her signature talk in my program.

She’s got a big vision in mind, but she’s flexible about how she’s going to get there. Right now, Liz focuses on building towards that future one talk at a time. Because each talk she gives is an opportunity to connect with another person, build a new relationship and share her expertise to people who need it.

Over the last 12 months, Liz has spoken on over 100 stages, and as she says, “Baby, I’m taking over the internet!”. 

It’s true. 

Liz has used her talks to share her framework for making email marketing fun (and profitable) and as a result has added hundreds of people to her email marketing membership.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what speaking can do for your business, or you’ve had doubts that a signature talk can be used over and over again…this is the episode for you.

In this episode, Liz shares: 

• The atypical launch results that illuminated her gift for email marketing and made her realize she had a message people needed to hear
• Why she decided speaking was the best way to make a bigger impact 
• How her personal circumstances gave her no choice but to push past ‘head junk’ and speak even when though she still breaks out in a rash
• Her thoughts on why talent will only get you so far and how Michael Jordan inspired her to get disciplined with her speaking practice
• The simple ways she tweaks her signature talk and 
• Why her signature talk is still relevant over three years later

The way you communicate impacts how others perceive you and your business.

When you sound polished and professional, you’re seen as knowledgeable, trustworthy and confident – which establishes your credibility and helps you attract new clients.

And poor communication skills are COSTLY because when others don’t understand what you do and how you can help them, they certainly won’t buy from you.

That’s why raising your level of awareness and being intentional on how you communicate with your words, with your tone and with your body language is critical– and that’s what this episode is all about.

Today I deep dive on  the common mistakes I see so many entrepreneurs making when trying to elevate the level of polish and professionalism with how they speak and more importantly, how to correct it.
