In your presentations and keynotes, you want to take your audience on a journey of discovery, sharing with them your personal insights and stories along the way.

As a speaker, writing a book gives you additional authority and credibility. Event organizers love speakers who have books because it shows that the speaker understands their material. But, how do you know what's a good idea for an entire book? On the flip side, if you're an author and public speaking isn't something you're jumping up and down to d…

If your ideas feel a bit - or a lot - messy and muddy, you’re far from alone. This is the #1 challenge I hear from women we work with. We're too close to our own ideas so we're not sure what our audiences will be interested in. We feel self-doubt or resistance that causes analysis paralysis. We try to put too much information into our talks (hello,…

Are you an introvert? If so, do you wonder if you are at a disadvantage as a speaker? There’s a common misperception that most speakers are extroverts.

A couple of months ago, I attended an event to honor non-profits. What was really cool was that each non-profit had 2-½ minutes to share their story.

Our conversation is a testament to the…

You know how powerful storytelling is in your presentations and talks. How can you go about integrating your stories in a way that truly connects you to your audiences?

I know you want to grow your business and brand and have a bigger impact as a thought leader. But, as high-achieving women, there are beliefs we have that get us stuck in the expert trap.

Today we’re talking about how to handle when things go wrong or unexpected or when you can’t plan every last thing. The more you speak, something will go wrong or something will happen that you didn’t plan for. The A/V doesn’t work, so you have no slides to show. You get asked a question by an audience member during Q&A that stumps you. You’re on a…
