This post is for my fellow #speakers! Imagine you have just exited the stage after giving a talk that seemed to land well with your audience. You received a warm round of applause and you feel so incredibly alive at this moment. You want MORE of this!But what happens when you don’t have another speaking gig booked? Will you get to do this again next month? In 3 months? Maybe in a year?Once you’ve sampled the world of speaking, of telling stories that inspire and lead people to improve their lives, it’s difficult to not have it in your life regularly. Finding an audience and attracting well-paying engagements when you want them solves financial problems, keeps you sharp, and leads to fulfillment.Getting to this stage requires professionalizing your approach to the speaking business and a willingness to challenge yourself.The motivation required to get what you want and overcome the challenges in your way RARELY comes from a place of comfort. Allow yourself to be hungry and uncomfortable. Accept that you still have room to grow, and refuse to be the person holding you back from your potential. Not sure where to start? My course, Mastering the Business of Professional Speaking, is launching soon. RSVP now and get ready to start changing lives, beginning with yours! www.speakingbizcoach.com/ ... See MoreSee Less

I was recently reflecting on gratitude 🙏When I think about this concept, what pops up in my mind are the teachers I had in my childhood whose impact still persists, decades later and an ocean away!I’m eternally grateful for these 3 in particular:My middle school teacher, SS, taught 13-year-old me how to write and present in front of a group. More importantly, she inspired a love for both, which I thrive on to this day. She was demanding of her students and showed that demanding and inspiring were indeed possible together. When I’m demanding in my own work now, it’s with her voice in my mind.My kindergarten teacher, LS, taught 5-year-old me how to use my imagination and how to feed whatever interest showed up. During the pandemic, I co-launched a company doing virtual team training – we took people to Mars, and our activity wasn’t that different than when I flew to the moon in Mrs. L’s class. Actually, many of my corporate team events have elements of kindergarten for adults!My French teacher, LB, inspired teenage me to have fun while learning languages. She made it light, about the culture as much as grammar, and about communication over perfection. I recalled that lightness when diving into new languages over the years, especially on the challenging journey to develop fluency in German. Do you have teachers who impacted you in ways that still show up many years or even decades later? If so, share the story, and let’s share some gratitude for these wonderful souls who touched our lives!#gratitude #reflection ... See MoreSee Less

The most powerful launch decision I ever made was in 1995. I woke up one morning and finally told myself, enough is enough! Back then, I was a sedentary 20-something who had yet to find my footing in a career, finish a university degree, or commit to any new pursuit for more than a couple of months. I decided I had to launch a new phase of my life, starting with improved nutrition and triathlon training. I set the Ironman Triathlon as my first goal race, as it was audacious enough to snap me out of stuck mode. I launched down that path hellbent on finishing the race (which I did 10 months later). The most meaningful life impact happened with the parallel commitments that the weight loss and training led to – completion of a couple of degrees, building a successful career, and traveling the world!These moments of decision & commitment aren’t as exciting or glamorous as a book signing party, graduation celebration, or fancy dinner to celebrate a victory, but without them, the latter moments would have never happened. If it’s been a while since you’ve committed to a new passion project or launched down a path that scared you but you knew was right, tell yourself that enough is enough, and you aren’t going to let any more time pass. Action creates new chapters, and those chapter can be life-changers! ... See MoreSee Less

The most important speaking skill you can have is energy.Mastery of energy as a speaker is a worthy quest. It's what turns ordinary into extraordinary. It's what makes mistakes in the speaking process forgettable in an audience's mind. Think for a moment about how you perceive the following ways of working with energy:Radiating: this is the authentic energy that you send out to the audience. When you are being yourself and in your zone of expertise, this energy comes across with purity and power. Sensing: this is the energy you read from the room. Sensing energy is your ability to perceive how an audience is reacting to the venue, the event, and to their time with you. Receiving: this is how the audience's energy lands on you and does or doesn't influence you. When you receive an audience's energy, it triggers and influences your emotions. You may also choose to not receive it, for the good of yourself and the group, or to allow it to land fully.Shifting: this is your ability to shift the audience's energy by artfully managing the above. A shift can be a complete change or simply a boost or reduction.While talent plays a role in one's ability to radiate, sense, receive and shift energy, it's ultimately an important #covetedspeakerskills -- a skill that can be practiced, refined, and mastered. ...

What comes to mind when you think about a “launch”? 🤔When I work with clients using the Reconnect > Navigate > Launch approach, the launch phase marks a new beginning, not just an end-of-phase celebration! While we tend to throw parties to celebrate launches 🎉 (such as books, companies, new lines of business, etc.), the moment of most importance is actually when you made the decision to commit to this new path. Way back at the start is when you developed the conviction that you must overcome any challenge that appears while you are on it. This is what got you unstuck, created a new wave of energy, and helped you transition from whatever phase you've overstayed.So while the launch itself is very exciting, don’t forget about the willpower and dedication you showed to begin the project and see it through. That’s something absolutely worth celebrating! ... See MoreSee Less
