In this week's episode, I'm sharing the career journey of Beth Sherman. With a long-standing career as a comedy writer in Hollywood, including stints on late-night shows and stand-up comedy, Beth brings a wealth of experience and anecdotes to the table.
Around seven years ago, feeling the itch for a change, Beth began secretly writing personal speeches as a side hustle, gradually transitioning to 'punch-up' work for speeches. Now based in London with her wife, she’s fully embraced her role as a personal speechwriter and acclaimed speaker, already garnering nominations for speaker awards in the UK.
In this episode, Beth and Anna explore the nuances of pivoting careers, particularly from the high-pressure world of television to the intimate and impactful realm of personal speech writing. They discuss the importance of authenticity and emotional connection when speaking, as well as the power of humour as a tool for resilience and control. Beth shares candid insights about managing early success and the pressures it brings, emphasising the importance of pursuing happiness over external validation.
Join us as we delve into Beth Sherman’s inspiring evolution, her contributions to the London speaking community, and her heartfelt journey of finding and building her tribe. Whether you’re considering a career shift or looking to infuse more humour and authenticity into your personal and professional life, this episode offers valuable takeaways, and a lot of smiles.
