1y ago25:53

25:53

Showing up and sharing your voice can be scary. It takes courage and trust. I’ve been researching the ways and layers of trust and have found it to be really helpful to see all the ways trust serves - and lack of trust can hurt - our impact and leadership. In this episode, I explore three layers of trust and how they have been a part of my own jour…

Ep #176: How to Make Boring Content Interesting 23:07

1y ago23:07

23:07

In the presentation skills training I facilitate, I’m often asked the question: What do I do if my content is just boring? The truth is, your content can’t be boring or no one will pay attention - it’s just the facts. The good news is - there is no inherently boring content! There is only content that hasn’t been crafted in a way that engages that …

1y ago24:42

24:42

There are many awesome ways to share your ideas on stage. That said, there is something special about speaking on a TED or TEDx stage - especially for people who are on a mission to change the world with their message. It makes sense.

Ep #173: How to Choose the Right Story 20:39

1+ y ago20:39

20:39

Story is magic for creating connection. When you tell a story that shows the people you want to serve that you get what they are experiencing, have been there yourself (or helped another person go through it), and come out the other side, you are a beacon light for them. This is why I call your Story of Transformation your Beacon Light Story. The t…

Ep #172: 5 ESSENTIALS of High-Impact Leadership 31:03

1+ y ago31:03

31:03

Why do some people get out in the world big and powerful with their message, and others hold back? In my 15 years working with leaders of businesses, I know for sure that it’s not their credentials, expertise or experience. In fact, I know way too many brilliant, highly educated, remarkably experienced people who have not made the impact they could…

1+ y ago20:54

20:54

Stepping into leadership requires that we make decisions often. Whether it’s when and how to share our ideas so they have the greatest impact or how to respond when someone disagrees with our approach, there are choices to be made at every turn.

21:53

This time of year can be full of special occasions, sparkly lights and delights, and possibly extra time off. And it may have none of those things for you. Whether or not you celebrate holidays this time of year, there is a good chance you are thinking about the big annual transition from one year to the next. This might mean looking over your prev…

1+ y ago38:02

38:02

There is no branding, strategy or re-vamp of your website that will create even half the impact that simply connecting in with your own excited energy in your business will bring.

Ep # 167: Creating Your Story Garden 25:40

1+ y ago25:40

25:40

The moment you need a story - in crafting a speech, a current conversation, writing your book, for example - is the hardest moment to come up with a great story. Knowing that story is a compelling way to bring a concept to life, to draw in attention or to make your content even more memorable, you’ll want to have a rich treasure chest of story at t…

1+ y ago27:54

27:54

When you know you are called to use your voice, expertise, and message to serve in our world, that desire can burn strong, even hot at times. It’s not just about saying the thing, telling the story… it’s about feeling fully expressed when you do it. And yet, especially for women and others who are marginalized in power in our society, we are taught…

Ep #164: Burnout & Taking a Sabbatical with Joanna Denton 44:33

1+ y ago44:33

44:33

It feels amazing to be in the flow of doing great work. Sometimes it’s hard to stop - to step away long enough to have a proper meal or get a full night’s sleep. And for short bursts of time, this can be just fine, if it doesn’t happen too often. When you spend too much time working, especially under a great deal of stress, it can be hurtful to you…

29:44

You know that jaw-dropping feeling when you watch a musician hit those impossible notes, or play that unbelievably complex piano piece… that sense that something even bigger and more magical than practice and great training is at play. This is when we use words like: “born for this” “they’re a natural” “supernatural” to describe what we are experie…

Ep #161: How Executive Coach Jill Griffin Makes a Powerful Impact Sharing Her Story 32:25

1+ y ago32:25

32:25

The most common type of question I get is: How did they do it? How did they get the 5-figure speaking gig? How did they land the interview in the media or on that amazing podcast? What does it take to really, truly build a business and/or meaningful impact on your story and expertise? The answer to that question is as varied as the people asking - …

41:04

As we grow in our careers, influence and leadership, our opportunities to shine and serve bigger audiences increase substantially.

One of those things we come up against is how to present ourselves physically at these large…

Ep #159: When You're Mean to Yourself 20:13

1+ y ago20:13

20:13

It’s common for us to think that telling ourselves we aren’t good enough will motivate us to do better work, perform better. And interestingly, there is some truth to that. Research does show that people who are realistic about what they need to do to perform at their highest level are likely to perform better than those who are overconfident. That…

1+ y ago28:21

28:21

Whether you are standing in front of an audience or trying to navigate the grocery store, you are going to deal with people who aren’t happy. Sometimes these people will be mean.

18:55

You walk around this world with so many stories, ideas, brilliant ways of expressing what you have to say… and sometimes it can be hard to access all of that great content. We’ve all had the experience of sitting at our computer screen, staring at a blank page - or stuck mid sentence on an idea that just won’t flow all the way through. This is when…

Ep #156: Speak Up Show Up 32:01

1+ y ago32:01

32:01

Sometimes speaking up is easy. But much of the time, it can be nerve-racking. What will people think? Will I say it right? Should I even be talking about this? The cool thing is, you get to use your voice any way you want. And I want you to feel so much freedom in that. Whether it is speaking on stages, having difficult conversations at work, commu…

26:22

Many of us share our messages and stories of inspiration from stages and in books because we want to help others see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

29:24

There are fundamental messages that I see as the most helpful ones to reveal the most authentic, powerful speaking and thought leadership in my clients. I’ve found that great speaking is way less about how to craft a great talk following someone’s formula, how to tell a story with jaw-dropping vivid action (though that can be awesome), or how to de…

Our brain loves to tell us that we have to get it “right.” We can spend many hours, days, weeks overthinking our next moves: Naming your business How to title your upcoming keynote speech Where to tell a story in our presentation or book If it’s okay to take a retreat while your partner takes care of home and kids or pets or other things You name i…

In January of 2022, I realized I was feeling super leashed up on social media. I had a lot of thinking about what I should and shouldn’t say or share on social platforms.

Speaking on stages, submitting your book draft, even hitting “publish” on that social media post takes courage, a willingness to be seen, noticed, and possibly judged.
