As a leader, you communicate constantly. But are you communicating in the most effective way? What are some best communication practices when there's conflict? What are some practical strategies you can implement today to better your public speaking? In this leadership rewind episode, I chat with Carrie Sharpe, a homeschooling mom of five, wife, and business owner. We dive into the topics of effective communication, including the best way to talk through conflict and practices to become a better public speaker. Carrie shares how she manages her different responsibilities + roles, and how she takes a rest from all the noise and busyness. This conversation originally aired in Oct. 2018 as part of our relationship series, and we're bringing it back into our podcast feed as one of the deep cuts that you may have missed. We think you will love hearing (or re-listening to) Carrie's story.

In our last episode we talked about how, after a LONG time, real-life, in-person networking events are a thing once more. Some of you might be full of joy at the idea, but an equal number of you will be horrified that you're going to have to get out there once again. So how can you make the best out of these opportunities and put yourself and your business out there in a way that still reflects your true, authentic self? To help you out, my guest today is Carrie Sharpe, a Communication Consultant, Speaker, and Co-Owner of He Says, She Says. She is also the co-host of the Speaking with Ryan & Carrie Sharpe podcast. With over twenty-five years of experience and training, Carrie coaches clients in communication and public speaking skills. We talk about how in-person networking (and pitching) should be like courtship. And don't worry, introverts - we've got your back! Topics covered include: The work that Carrie does alongside her husband, Ryan, and how they serve their clients What a networking plan is, and why you should be thinking about creating one How to approach planning for events of different sizes - from smaller in-person networking events, all the way up to multi-day conferences The way to build relationships at events without seeming gross - including how to create your ‘elevator pitch', and the importance of leveraging referrals from the people you connect with How to navigate large in-person networking events if you're an introvert - even down to where to stand in a large room Tactics to make the most out of the connections you make at events - making sure that we're engaging in dialogue and conversation rather than word-vomiting Why Carrie doesn't like to be pitched and prefers to be courted - with an example of what she means! I hope you found this episode useful and that it has given you some tactics which you can put into your next IRL events.

How do you cope as a leader when relationships are hard? How can you respond when you’ve been hurt, or when you disagree with those in leadership? What do you do when you are struggling in your marriage? We’ve been going through a series about Healthy Relationships, and the goal has been to help support you in your leadership to be able to develop and nurture healthy interactions with those around you. But we also know this: sometimes, relationships are just plain hard. There isn’t always an easy answer, and sometimes you can be doing all the right things, but nothing seems to change. In this episode, we address 3 of those situations and offer some encouragement for you if you are dealing with a hard relationship. We’re going to discuss what to do when you’ve been hurt, when marriage is hard, and when you disagree with leadership over you. When you’ve been hurt: Determine whether you need to address the person who hurt you. Refer to Episode 16 with Carrie Sharpe. She gave us 6 tips on how to deal with conflict. Give yourself time to process & heal. Writing. I’ve found writing to be extremely helpful during times when I’ve been hurt. Check out Episode 21 where Gayla Grace shared about how she’s used writing in her life. Self-Awareness. We learned a lot about self-awareness in Episode 17 with Beth McCord. One of the ways self-awareness can be helpful when you are in a situation where you’ve been hurt is to reflect on how you react to that hurt. Turn to God through prayer and scripture. When marriage is hard: We talked about marriage with our husbands in Episode 18, and we shared some of our stories and experiences as couples who lead together. But we didn’t share a lot about what to do when marriage is hard. Here’s a few brief ideas for you when marriage is hard. Take care of yourself. Physical wellness - Keep your body healthy, especially when you are under stress. This might include exercising, eating healthy, and morning and nightly routines. Spiritual health - Stay connected to God through your spiritual disciplines and stay involved in a church community and small group, if possible. Mental & emotional health - Find things that you enjoy and fill you up. Also, seek additional professional support such as therapy if needed. Relational wellness - Maintain relationships outside of your marriage such as friendships and extended family. Find other people who will encourage you and support your marriage. It’s important to know who is safe and have appropriate boundaries when it comes to sharing about your marriage challenges. This could be a friend, accountability partner, or mentor. Control your attitude and your mindset. This is super hard, but it can be done with God’s help. Look for little ways to appreciate your spouse. Our thoughts precede our emotions and our actions, so can you reframe your thoughts to find something positive to think about your husband? If you can’t find something positive currently, think back to a time when your relationship was healthy and remember something positive from that experience. When you disagree with the leadership over you: Understand that you may not have the whole picture. This means that your leaders may have information that you do not have. Trust them enough to handle the information and make decisions based off of that. Speak love over your leaders. Make sure that you don’t tear down your team members or your leaders. Key Quotes from episode: “There is no human relationship that can fully fulfill you.” “It’s important that we hold other leaders up and encourage them, even when we disagree with them.” For the full show notes for this episode, visit estherlittlefield.com/episode22.

It was through their experience in the NICU that sparked her speaking career. Carrie and I talk about the best way to share our message in our own brand. Carrie says that the best way is to find out what message you would want to put out into the world! You're allowed to make changes in your business but you should always make sure that what you're communicating is in line with your core value, beliefs, and what results; you want your clients to have. "What are you trying to communicate to your clients and what do you hope that they receive from you!" - Carrie Sharpe What are the best ways to communicate with your own team? Carrie shares a story of working with a copywriter and how she was very clear with her mission and when you tell your team what exactly that is, it makes it that much easier and you'll still be able to share your message in your own voice! How can you produce content and share your message in a clear way? Carrie says that she creates content in many ways but the main ones are video and/or audio and this works best for her business. It's about choosing what is best for you and your business! There are so many ways that you can reach out to your audience and it's up to you to choose what you enjoy using! If you don't like using Pinterest, there is no shame in that and you don't have to use it if you don't want to! They say it's just to be yourself in your business but should you share everything to everyone? Carrie shares how in her business, she chooses what she puts out to the world and what she doesn't. She continues to be herself and show her best self but there are certain topics that she keeps to herself because she doesn't want to alienate her audience!

When you want to grow your business, you need to build the know, like and trust factor. Our guest today is someone who helps business owners to hone their speaking skills and create effective speeches. Carrie Sharpe is a Communication Consultant and Speaker at He says, She says. She has been married to her husband, Ryan, for over nineteen years. They have five children, including twin daughters. Carrie believes that the foundation of every great relationship is effective communication, so she loves to help people overcome communication challenges and strengthen their relationships. She coaches clients in public speaking, marriage and family communication, workplace communication, and pageant interview skills. Carrie earned her degree in Political Science and Psychology from Lake Superior State University. She homeschools her children full-time, and she runs her communication business from home. She is a Huffington Post Contributor and has been quoted in a variety of publications. Carrie has spoken across the United States and Canada about marriage, relationships, and communication skills. IN THIS EPISODE 2:08 Carrie's fun fact is that she's worn a dirndl multiple times. 4:22 Confidence and comfortability is important when you are married and sharing a conversation. While someone may need to speak to their husband or someone else, it's a lot easier to talk to a third party about the problems instead of talking with that person about what's bothering you. You have to be courageous enough to get vulnerable. You have to be courageous to get vulnerable. 8:55 If there are brain patterns of having anxiety, getting yelled at, negative experiences, from the past, you have to work through those emotions and deal with them. There are mindset issues you have to walk through. In coaching, Carrie works through these emotions differently depending on what she's coaching on. 9:09 If it's a public speaking coaching, I try to get them to switch their mind from feeling scared to feeling excited. I tell them to say "I'm so excited to share this," "I'm so excited." 9:52 If it's networking, a lot of that fear comes from them not being comfortable with what they're selling. If I get them to understand that what they're selling is helpful and useful to their audience. 10:31 Change the brain. It's all about what you're telling yourself. If you're telling yourself that people are going to hate what you're offering, telling yourself that you hate this. If you change the story then you can change the outcome. 12:13 Start with a one on one conversation at a networking event. Instead of seeing the crowd, see a person you can talk to. If you do that, you'll get better results because you're building that relationship. Conversation starts can be asking good questions of someone. They feel like they can connect with you and they'll sing your praise. That will make them feel comfortable and you can build the conversation off of the answers they give. Names are really important to remember and if I say them during the conversation, it helps me feel important and remember the person's name. 20:23 What I hear from people is I know I need to speak and get my message out, but I don't know what to talk about. So I first dig into what they're already talking about and then we work on that message. So many times we're asked a few questions frequently. You find what you're most excited and passionate about are what you can develop into a message. Then there are other fears that are developed and questions that come up. That's when having a coach is helpful. We work on an outline for the talk and find an outcome for that talk. We set things up to support that one topic and it's 3-5 bullet points and every point needs a story. Stories are what make you human and what allows you to be human and memorable. Keep it simple and narrow down on one particular thing. 26:51 We know so much, we want to be so helpful and we want to cram it all in, but you're being more helpful when you leave it out. You don't need to change their life, you just need to change their day. 28:29 I love seeing results. I have clients who come in with so many ideas and then seeing them develop a speech, and deliver it is amazing. 29:34 Someone needs to hear your story. So get out there and share it. So many of us don't give ourselves the credit for the experiences we've had. 31:31 You've been given these experiences in your life for a reason, if you don't go out and share them, then your experiences were for nothing. You want to share them and make that experience worthwhile. And it doesn't have to be speaking, it can be online on Facebook Live, it can be in so many ways. [bctt tweet="Someone needs to hear your story. So get out there and share it." username="tonyarineer"] KEY TAKEAWAYS Confidence and comfortability is important when you are married and sharing a conversation. How Carrie works with her different coaching clients to overcome fear or anxiety. Changing the brain makes a difference in how you see a situation. How to handle a networking event. You don't need to change their life, you just need to change their day. Someone needs to hear your story. So get out there and share it.

Carrie is a communication consultant and speaker. She runs “he says she says” with her hubby and homeschools her 5 kids. Sunit says that the relationship with your partner is such a big part of parenthood. She brings up the article written about Giuliana Rancic's controversial comment about how putting her marriage first has actually been the best thing she's ever done. Carrie says she didn't like that women are laughing about the fact that their husband comes last. She asks “why even get married” if that's how you would feel. Marriage is a partnership and your husband should be your closest ally in this journey. Carrie says that if you don't make your marriage a priority, you won't have a marriage that lasts. Common reasons why women are not enlisting the hubby's support in the early days:the first 6-8 weeks goes so fast and is such a blur that if you haven't planned for it, you are so engrossed in learning how to be a mom, you forget to be a wife. Dads are so insecure about fatherhood because they are not given the opportunity to participate. Giving them the chance to participate fully allows them to make their mistakes and learn, and allows moms time to themselves. Plan to give dads a chance. Carrie talks about pre-emptively quitting law school to be a stay at home before she even had kids. She talks about Maverick and his health issues and how they ended up public speaking about their struggles. By the way:Maverick is healthy and happy today despite the fact that drs said he wouldn't make it and if he did he would be delayed. Ryan and Carrie serve women, men, and couples, BEFORE there is a problem. They work with couples whose marriage is GOOD but they want to be proactive and prevent issues. They teach better listening skills, better communication, and conflict resolution. Carrie also works with moms who need help communicating with their teenagers. Her husband works with dads. Together they work with couples. Sunit asks about the resources and packages on the their website and if it's self directed or led by Ryan and Carrie. Carrie says they have various offerings. Sunit asks what benefit there is in couples invest in themselves before baby comes. Carries says that it will help them not fall apart. Having a vision built up in your mind of what motherhood SHOULD be can throw you off if you're not well prepared. They talk about all the things that can throw off your marriage once you become parents. Carrie says the divorce rate for couples going through a traumatic birth or child illness is very high. You need to be aligned so you are prepared for all the things that could unexpectedly happen. Communication is the number one thing in relationships. What advice does Carrie have for the woman who says her husband does not like to communicate? Carrie says to have the talk but don't start it with “we need to talk”. Carries says you should lovingly talk to your partner about your wishes for parenthood. Sit down and talk about it. Women will say “my husband xyz” but 9 times out of 10 women haven't even talked about it with their husband. Don't make assumptions. Sunit brings up the article again and how important it is to place the marriage high on the priority list. It should be first BEFORE your kids. Carrie's OB told her to have a date night before her 6 week post partum check up. It's not where you go or what you do its about having time to reconnect without a baby in the mix. “Dad is the most important person in my life, Im the most important person in his life”. Have your bedroom be off limits. It's never too early to establish your marriage as the priority. It's hard but important for you, your marriage and your sanity. If there any dads listening today-who want to be a good dad and a supportive husband but need some tips to get started-what tips do you have for him? Carrie says be patient and roll with the punches. Hormones and emotions can be tough to deal with. Also, dads should be patient with themselves. It takes time to learn how to be a dad especially when you are working outside the home and don't have as much time as mom to get acquainted with the baby. Also, schedule date nights-regardless of whether mom says she wants it or not. Just plan it. Dads play their own role with their kids-you don't have to be the mom. Each of you have your own role. Sunit asks Carrie for one piece of advice:Start talking to your partner now and keep talking. Talk about expectations, hopes, dreams, fears. Talk every day and accommodate as they change. It's the only way to make sure conflict is resolved and you are continually evolving. Sunit asks Carrie to talk about what she has maintained or reconnected with about her SELF. Carrie realized after bringing her business online that she could fulfill her love for having her own businesses while still being a mom who homeschools and runs a business with her hubby.
