Jeannette talks to Tricia Brouk, an award-winning director, author, producer, and founder of the Big Talk Academy. Tricia shares valuable insights on public speaking, personal branding, and utilising social media effectively. She emphasises the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and consistency in building a personal brand, with her invaluable insights being grounded in her experience of helping thought leaders and speakers find their voice and share their stories authentically. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tricia highlights the five-part structure for crafting a compelling speech: identifying a problem, introducing new ideas, painting a picture, telling a story, and providing a solution with a call to action. This structure helps speakers engage their audience effectively. By gradually increasing pressure levels, individuals can learn to coexist with their physiological responses and deliver impactful speeches. Speakers need to share from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, allowing for deeper connections and impactful storytelling. By staying consistent, aligned with values, and offering value consistently, speakers can shape a strong personal brand that resonates with their audience. BEST MOMENTS "If you are listening to this and you're on the fence about social media, just be yourself and be consistent and you will attract the right people." "Personal brand is, like you said, extremely important. And when it comes to shaping a personal brand, in my experience, it means being consistent." "It's all about trusting yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else." “Today is the day, tomorrow might never come. And if you show up in love, then you can trust that all is right with how you lived your life." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This episode came from a question I recently posted in our private Facebook group for speakers of The Big Talk, asking them what they would like me to share in upcoming solo podcasts. I received so many thoughtful questions that I'm excited to cover in the coming weeks! This particular request was from Jenny Lincoln, who is a community member, an alum of The Big Talk Academy, a former participant in The Big Talk Live, and a super amazing 1:1 client. She asked me to talk about the greatest moments in my life and career and how I embodied them further. She also asked about my toughest challenges and how I learned from them. So today, I'm talking about both! In this episode, I explore: The five most pivotal moments in my journey, including what it was like moving to New York City at 20 to pursue dance The reason my greatest moments and toughest challenges, both personally and professionally, are all linked How I embodied success and said ‘yes' to opportunities Why I practice radical self-forgiveness and the way you can do the same More from Tricia Elevate your impact with The Speaker Salon Video Series Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on LinkedIn Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Today, I am joined by an amazing speaker, advocate, and alum of The Big Talk Academy, Wendy Christie. You may remember Wendy from Episode 426 when we featured her powerful talk, “Michelangelo's Missive,” from the BTA Virtual Showcase. Wendy trained as a pianist in her early years before realizing how the power of words can transform and shape others in the way music can transform and move an audience. Currently living and working in New Zealand, Wendy has sought opportunities to speak about the power of music in education systems around the world. In this episode, we'll explore: Wendy's journey from being a pianist to finding her voice and purpose in education and advocacy Her experience inside The Big Talk Academy and the transformative impact it had on her ability to express her passions and beliefs The power of vulnerability and connection in communication How Wendy overcame self-doubt to start playing big Wendy's current favorites: Book: Margot Fonteyn's Autobiography, Speaker: Sir Ken Robinson, Podcast: Cleaning Up the Mental Mess with Dr. Caroline Leaf More from Wendy Christie Her first appearance on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 426 Her profile in The Big Talk Speaker Directory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-christie-36912595/ More from Tricia Step onto big stages with my Masterclass, The Art of The Big Talk Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on LinkedIn Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
I'm excited to bring you this compelling and insightful conversation with my friend Tricia Brouk and her co-author, Alexandra Stockwell, on a topic that's a new one for the show: menopause. Tricia and Alexandra share why they wrote their new book, The Invitation: Vital Conversations About Menopause, as well as their unique writing process together. But before I get into the specifics, I want to share why I wanted to have them as guests, given that it's an unusual topic for a writing podcast. First, I think it's important to support your friends who are launching books and building a business. Second, my wife just turned 50 and menopause has been a big topic of discussion in our house the last couple of years, and probably will be for a while longer. Third, a large percentage of people that I interact with on a daily basis are women, usually ranging from their 40s to 60s. There are a lot of exceptions, of course, but a good chunk of the people in my network and podcast audience are in this age group—in other words, women going into the age of menopause soon, dealing with it now, or having been through it in the not-too-distant past. Whenever you serve a particular audience, it's important to understand where they're coming from and what they're going through. So, this was a great opportunity for me to learn about this topic that affects every woman, and therefore, the vast majority of men as well. And fourth, I confess that I've never taken much time to learn about menopause. As writers, it's our job to be curious and seek knowledge about a wide variety of topics. And if you're a ghostwriter like me, it's especially important to know something about as many topics as you can. With that as the foundation of my interest in this topic, let me tell you a bit about my guests. Tricia Brouk helps high-performing professionals transform into industry thought leaders through the power of authentic storytelling. She founded The Big Talk Academy, where she certifies speakers in the art of public speaking. She was the executive producer of Speakers Who Dare and TEDxLincolnSquare, and is the producer and host of The Big Talk, an award-winning podcast and YouTube Channel. In addition to being the author of The Influential Voice, Tricia curates and hosts the Speaker Salon in NYC, and is being featured in a new documentary called Big Stages. Alexandra Stockwell, MD, known as “The Intimacy Doctor,” is a Relationship and Intimacy Coach and an Intimate Marriage Expert who specializes in coaching ambitious, successful couples to build beautiful, long-lasting, passionate relationships. Her mission is to change the cultural narrative so people everywhere know that intimate relationships can flourish and improve with time. Alexandra is the host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast as well as the author of Uncompromising Intimacy. In this conversation, we focus on two main things related to menopause. First, we dig into a basic understanding of what it is and how it affects women, with a view toward how men can better understand it to support the women in their lives. Tricia and Alexandra also dive into why and how they wrote The Invitation, particularly since the book doesn't neatly fit into their typical brands. They also share their publishing strategy and why they approached the book as a conversation rather than a typical nonfiction book format. I'll be honest: I felt out of my depth on this topic, so I'm grateful for Tricia and Alexandra's patience and openness. I hope you find this inspiring not just as a writer, but as a human being as well—whether you're a woman who has been through or will go through menopause, or a man who wants to better understand and support the women in his life. The Invitation releases on September 13, so I encourage you to support Tricia and Alexandra and pre-order your copy. I do want to mention that in this episode, we're discussing some mature themes, so if you typically listen to this episode with younger kids in the room, you may want to stash it in your queue for a later time. * * * A big thank you to our sponsors, who keep this email free for readers: Today's episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.

Have you ever tried… asking?! At the risk of sounding a little mystical and “woo” - you can have everything you ever wanted (except maybe the power of invisibility or flight without machines).

I'm so excited for today's episode because I am talking about an important part of any thought leader's journey. And that is how to navigate a rejection. Every speaker eventually has the experience of not being chosen to take a stage. This is normal. And the art of responding to this rejection can be learned. Recently, I addressed this with the members of The Big Talk Academy. The news of who would be taking the stage for our Virtual Showcase was met with a range of responses. And today's conversation is a part of the coaching call where we discussed these responses. In this episode, we'll explore: Why no one can take your voice from you What goes into a producing a show and why certain speakers are chosen The reason you don't get feedback from your applications How to respond to organizers and event producers when you are not chosen for a stage and why this matters More from Tricia Attend my 2-Day Virtual Masterclass The Art of The Big Talk Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on LinkedIn Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
