Success is more impacted by who you are being rather than what you are doing or saying.

The question isn’t necessarily, what do I need to say in order to be more successful, although that matters too, but the question we also should be asking of ourselves on the regular: " Who do i need to be or become? What does a successful speaker, communicator, look like? What types of behavior, mindset, values and habits does a person like that display and embrace on a regular basis?"

In today's episode we talk about the top 10 characteristics of highly successful speakers and how it goes beyond just what they say and how they say it.

Ready to become a highly successful and impactful speaker and communicator? I'm here to help. Book your Power Session with me and let's get your message heard. Loud and clear!

Today we are kicking off a 2 part series. We will be addressing the big elephant in most rooms. The capital F word, FEAR!

During these next two episodes I want us to look at how we can move from having anxiety around speaking to becoming a more FearLESS speaker.

Here’s what we will focus on during these next 2 episodes.

• Today we will dive in with discovering FEAR, where it comes from and is it real?
• We will also talk about what is happening in your body, physiologically and how understanding can take some of the fear away.
• And finally, today we will also look at how what you believe about speaking really impacts your success and you become a more FearLESS speaker.
• Next week we will go deep with how you can develop confidence and the competence that will accelerate your skills and comfort level.

Ever felt like you were drowning in the overwhelming busyness of life, with each day packed yet purposeless? I’ve been there. In 2010, I hit rock bottom. My days were filled with endless tasks, but none of them mattered. I was stuck, angry, and saw no future for myself. It felt like I was going through the motions, living reactively instead of proactively.

Thankfully, I had people who saw my struggle and helped me discover a new way of being, leading me to three pivotal decisions that completely transformed my life.

Here's what I cover in this episode:

• Upgrade Your Thinking
  • Decide to Change: Recognize the importance of a healthy thought life.
  • Create Awareness: Reflect on your current belief system.
  • Question Your Thoughts: Challenge and investigate your beliefs.
  • Reframe Your Beliefs: Replace false beliefs with empowering truths.
• Get Clear on What You Want
  • Trust your intuition and ask yourself what you truly want.
  • Understand the impact of lack of clarity on your life and work.
  • Set clear, specific goals that guide your actions and decisions.
• Cultivate Consistency
  • Show up for your dreams and goals regularly.
  • Measure your progress consistently to evaluate effectiveness.
  • Build trust with yourself and others through reliable actions.

By upgrading your thinking, gaining clarity, and cultivating consistency, you can set yourself on a path to achieving your big, audacious dreams.

Remember, it's about making intentional decisions that align with your true self and your purpose.

Excellent presentation skills are critical to every entrepreneur's and experts' success. At least the ones that want to share their message effectively in front of an audience.

At its most basic level, effective speaking is about communicating your message with clarity and persuasion.

Whether your audience is one person in a meeting, ten people in a boardroom, or 100 in an auditorium, connecting and being compelling with your presentations are your chance to solidify your expertise with an audience and your relationship with the host of the events you speak at.

So why do so many good people give so many bad presentations? What are some of the mistakes and pitfalls that we need to stay away from and how can they be avoided or fixed?

This is what I want to highlight this week: teaching you the mistakes that can derail your speaking success, and how to fix this so you can become more effective in sharing your ideas on a stage in front of an audience.
