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?
226: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Tiffany spent the last 20+ years being an expert and trusted “facilitator”, teacher and workshop leader – but NOT a speaker. Which is what brought her to me.
Tiffany knew that speaking is good for her business – for her brand – for her movement and for her message. She WANTED to do it. She planned and strategized around it. She worked with a coach. She was thrilled to get the opportunity to step on stage as a keynoter at this big conference. And she was also scared.
“I’m not a speaker” – she said.
What?! You speak all the time!, I said! You lead workshops, and get on Lives and create videos… Why not be a speaker?!
This has been our conversation over the last few years as we’ve worked together –
and finally she had a breakthrough. At one of her recent speaking engagements, she finally felt like a SPEAKER.
How about you!?
Are you ready to BE a speaker?
Are you ready to step through whatever invisible barriers exist that are keeping us from those big stage moments?
So embrace the potential of our power and leadership?
222: Scott Savage – Fearless Speaking in this New World
You cannot speak (well) without fear. And as we take on any new risk, new venture, new challenge – we want to move through fear so that we can experience FREEDOM in our speaking.
Getting to FREEDOM means we want to act FEARLESS, even though we are afraid.
In this new virtual world – we need to be fearless in a powerful way.
Talking to an empty audience? – Move through your fear – your audience still needs you.
Attempting a Webinar for the first time to share your message? Move through that fear – your audience still needs you.
Trying a totally new approach in your message sharing? Show up, do the work, even when you’re afraid – your audience still needs you.
And on today’s on the show I’m talking with Scott Savage – a pastor and frequent guest on This Moved Me – because he brings a passion for the craft of speaking and combines it with his wise and generous spirit. I wanted him to talk about how he’s moved his speaking virtually – and what that means for him – AND, I wanted to talk with him about the skills needed to do these kinds of things – because he himself has moved THROUGH fear. He is experiencing the FREEDOM in his speaking – and it’s inspiring.

Here’s a look back at our conversation where we focus on EMBRACING COURAGE as a pivotal part of our journey as speakers.
