308: Retro Episode with Jeff Goins

Have you ever met a fellow entrepreneur and thought: Yup, this person gets it. This person is going to do big stuff. This person is a thinker. Jeff Goins is absolutely that person. 

We’re going retro today and bringing back an oldie, but a goodie from a few years ago. This is my interview with speaker and author, Jeff Goins.

214: Mike Parkinson – How to Love Up Your Audience (even if they aren’t loving you)

I’m so thrilled to jump back into some awesome interview episodes to share with you that are FULL of some speaking goodies. 
Starting with Mike Parkinson, a fellow Presentation Summit presenter, keynote speaker and presentation designer. He is a GEM of a human who brings so much energy and love for his audience up in front with him. So, I wanted to talk with him about how we can love up our audiences, even when it seems they might not be loving us back. Take a listen!

287: The Million$$Mission Entrepreneur Panel

100 BeMoved speakers making $10,000 or more in speaking fees. And if that sounds bonkers to you, you’re going to really like this episode. I have brought together some of my all-time favorite entrepreneurial pals. Jenny Evans, Jenn Whitmer, Kevin Jennings. And Jayla Rae! The five of us talked about all the things, because we as entrepreneurs, we have got to tackle our money stuff!

289: Tasha Booth on What it Takes to Create a Million Dollar Business

Did you catch that moment in the show last week where I couldn’t even believe myself when I said that I was creating a Million-Dollar Business… which is a problem.

But that is what this million-dollar mission is all about!

So, today on the show, I’m bringing with me somebody who can actually speak to it for real – because she is a million dollar business owner. Tasha Booth is the CEO and the founder of The Launch Guild, an agency that helps entrepreneurs like us launch their programs, podcasts and courses. And last year they hit a million dollars. So we talk about: what did it take to get there? What was the mindset shift required in order for this magic to happen? Listen in and find out! 

245: The Journey Series – Rob Bell on Embracing Purpose

I got to sit in Rob Bell’s audience for an entire day. It was a day full of connection, insights, mastery… and this weird kind of “magic” that sometimes happens when a speaker is gelling with their audience. So, when it came time for the Q&A, I raised my hand and asked, “Rob, I’’m a speaker coach and I’d love to talk about what’s REALLY going on in here. This thing happening between you and the audience right now… ?“ With a twinkle in his eye (the one he has most of the time!), he said. “Awwww yesssssss….” I knew he would totally ‘get’ it – of course! – as the’s the creator and instigator and believer in just these things. And he delightfully reminded us all of the energy that passes between all of us… That energy? That’s at the heart of our purpose as speakers. It’s ultimately not really about how lovely our content is -it’s about our ability to harness the connection between speaker and audience. Thanks, Rob, for continuing to remind us what’s REALLY going on here. 

215: Travis Thomas – Speaking with a Yes, And Mindset

Travis Thomas from Live Yes, And holds a wide array of identities… improvisor, leadership coach, personal development guru, teacher, social entrepreneur – and of course, speaker.

In fact – speaking is where all these ideas blend together and come to life!

In this week’s episode, Travis and I have a pretty ‘meta’ conversation about the ideas of improv – and how we can not only USE them in our speaking to help bring our ideas to life – but how we NEED them as speakers and entrepreneurs.

217: Julian Treasure – Listening To Your Audience So You Speak With More Impact

Julian Treasure is a world-renown speaker whose TED talk is one of the 10-most watched TED talks of all-time, and whose vision is to transform the world by inspiring people to listen consciously and speak powerfully. He is author of the books How to be Heard and Sound Business. I am so thrilled to have Julian back on the show to talk about how we can tune into our audiences, listen to what they’re telling us – and speak so that people will listen. Enjoy!

284: Speaking Style Confidence with LaToya Bell

The moment you step out front (on stage, in Zoom, in that Facebook Live, in your workshop!), you are making an impression. And, even more importantly, our clothes affect how we feel (which affects how we speak)! So – if you want to be a more impactful speaker, you’ve got to be intentional about your clothes! I brought on the show with me LaToya Bell, a style confidence coach who helps entrepreneurs bring more confidence into their business by defining their style and making more aligned choices in their clothing.

What should I wear when I present? What clothes are best for speakers? How do I develop my speaking style? How can I develop my speaking confidence? How can I be a more confident speaker? 

087: Paul Tomes – On the Power of the Metaphor

Want to explain something complex without watching your audience’s eyes glaze over? Meet the metaphor — the hardest-working tool in a speaker’s kit. In this conversation, Paul Tomes and I dig into why a well-chosen metaphor does what a hundred bullet points can’t: it takes your big idea and wraps it in something your audience can see, feel, and remember. Because facts tell, but pictures stick. If your message ever feels too abstract, too technical, or too big to land — this episode is your shortcut.

247: Jenn Whitmer on Speaking and the Enneagram

Ennea-What?! If you’re not familiar with the Enneagram, I’m about to really blow your mind because the Ennegram is one of those ‘now that you know’ AHA frameworks that can be life-changing. Plus, it’s a super hot topic right now!

My Ennegram expert is the delightful Jenn Whitmer, one of my speakers and a pure joy to be around! Jenn is an Enneagram coach and she is going to help us discover our Ennegram number – and how that shows up for us when we speak. 

The Ennegram is full of AHA’s and insights – and this is so important because knowing ourselves is the #1 most important thing we need to do as speakers and leaders. 

Are you ready?! Let’s discover your Enneagram Speaking Style!
