[16] TRICIA BROUK: the speaking coach

The Entrepreneur Next Door 🏡

Everyone wants to get on stage and speak. Most of us are scared s#(#*@less about public speaking but overcome our fear for what we perceive will be monetary rewards that are worth the anxiety and efforts.
Before you dream about being a speaker, listen to these revealing, behind-the-scenes insights into what it really takes to succeed.
Tricia's high school yearbook blurb might as well have been "less likely to be a speaker." All she wanted to be "from the moment I saw my sister dance, I knew all I wanted to be was a dancer." She moves to New York City to pursue what would typically be a longshot career dancing with some of the most recognized names in the business.
"My dance career was complete, and I moved on."
What follows is an intriguing career that spins off Tricia's talents as a professional dancer; she is catapulted into choreography, directing, and producing, none of which she's done before.
There are many insightful nuggets from my conversation with Tricia, like " I was never someone who was entitled... when you think you can do something, that is you not owning the truth that you know you can. Reframe "I think I can" - your best isn't good enough and thinking you can means you don't believe you can."
If you're looking for accolades and adoration as a speaker, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. It has to be about being of service, and when you're clear about that, you'll become a better speaker."
Shed off what you think you know about speaking and listen to what it takes to succeed.
One book that influenced Tricia? Wait for it... listen to find out. It's a book about loyalty and the truth.
