Could the courage to speak from the heart transform not only your life but the lives of others?How do you know when to trust your intuition, even when it seems completely irrational? What if failure was actually leading you to your true purpose? In this episode of The Courage To Be podcast, host Tania Vasallo welcomes transformational speaker and bestselling author Gail Larsen. Gail shares her journey from working with top executives and being part of The National Speakers Association to discovering her true calling in transformational speaking. She discusses how failure shaped her path, the importance of listening to intuition, and her unique approach to public speaking that goes beyond performance to authentic connection.Gail also recounts how a surprising phone call from President Ronald Reagan led her to the White House, how she overcame financial struggles by trusting her inner voice, and how writing her book transformed both her career and her understanding of speaking. She reveals the rituals she uses to ground herself before speaking, her perspective on divine guidance, and how transformational listening can bridge divides in a disconnected world.• Find Gail Larsen's offering at https://realspeaking.com/• Download your FREE Think and Grow Rich PDF book, the book that has made millions of millionaires!

How can you be a better public speaker? Author and speaking coach Gail Larsen shares her transformation process with the listener. Each of us brings a gift to the world that is original and is our form of art. Transformational defines when things shift; through our internal growth and throughout the planet. Gail's book reviews all the technical skills of Speaking, but approaches speaking holistically, starting with the heart of your Speaking. She believes that your original talents and skills are your Original Medicine and encourages her students to name their medicine and stand in the power of it. Her process distinguishes between the Comfort Zone of speaking and the Home Zone. The Comfort Zone encompasses the professional persona and credentials we traditionally associate with public speakers. The Home Zone defines your “Original Medicine” message and the story that only you can share. Gail says you find your audience if you are true to yourself. When we speak from our Home Zone, we are present in the moment with our true story. It's a place of vulnerability and truth. Gail believes that if what we share is not emotional, it will not touch the audience profoundly and transformatively. She shares a favorite quote by Martin Shaw, an acclaimed teacher of myth and storyteller. He claims, “You don't trap a story. You track it.” Gail's methodology and concept were also influenced by Angeles Arrien and her book titled, “The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrier, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary. Gail Larsen is the author of Transformational Speaking: If You Want to Change the World, Tell a Better Story, Gail has been in the world of speaking for decades, first as an SBA award-winning entrepreneur and soon after that as the first full-time executive of the National Speakers Association. Her study informs her work of cross-cultural and perennial wisdom. Her focus is on uncovering our true gifts before applying strategy so that our work is original, sustainable, and genuine. She offers Transformational Speaking to a global audience through her Online Academy and live immersions in Santa Fe, NM. She served on the faculty of Omega Institute from 2008 until Covid! Several of her graduates have been named to Oprah's Super Soul 100 as awakened leaders who use their voices and talents to elevate humanity. www.realspeaking.com
Everyone has something to give to the world. In this episode I'm going to share 3 things about storytelling and finding your truth that will motivate you to share more of your experiences, gifts and earned wisdom to change people's lives. And I'm also going to explain why so many people get stuck thinking they don't have a relevant or inspiring enough story to share. It's actually the ordinary stories that matter more than the extraordinary ones. In this episode, you'll learn: Why many women struggle to tell their story Why the loudest person is rarely the wisest How to find your story How to inspire people using your story and your gifts The meaning of your “original medicine” 3 important facts about storytelling The meaning of reciprocity and how to leverage it Quotables: “Nobody cares about the Everest you submitted unless they know about the training and shitty times of waking up at 5am, your fingers are bleeding. That's where we relate to your story.” “It's almost never the loudest person that is the wisest.” “Your story is not about you. It's a bridge of possibility for your audience.” Links mentioned in this episode: TYE 131: How to be a better public speaker with Gail Larsen Book “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” by Robert Cialdini Join The YES Effect Inner Circle Facebook Group for a behind the scenes experience about what it means to Believe, Belong and Become!

Gail Larsen teaches some of the world's best speakers to be better public speakers. People like Marie Forleo and Danielle Laporte have turned to Gail - someone who was once terrified of public speaking herself. Asked to speak in front of the US President, she found an intuitive way to get over her own fear of public speaking and now teaches it to others. It goes past the technical skills of public speaking and digs into your deepest story so you can tell it in a way that inspires, teaches and puts you, the speaker, completely in your “Home Zone.” Gail was my public speaking teacher, too. She's on The YES Effect to talk about how she trains world-class speakers to make an impact on their audiences through authenticity, self-discovery and practice. In this episode, you'll learn: How a telegram from the President of the United States thrust Gail into learning to be a public speaker Why Gail's method of teaching public speaking is different than most training programs How Gail has woven Indigenous wisdom into her coaching Why so many people can easily speak one-on-one but are terrified of public speaking Some of the exercises she uses to coach speakers How she coaches speakers to become better storytellers The mistake of focusing on what your audience wants instead of what you provide Quotables: “Every speaking program tried to get me into technique instead of essence. I think all of us are pretty bored with technique.” “Everything I do now is based on Indigineus wisdom that takes us back to our truth instead of looking for the next big thing.” “Most of us are good communicators one-on-one. There's something about public speaking that makes us think we need to be someone else.” “If we're looking to someone else for how we're supposed to be instead of the truth of who we are, we'll never get there.” “When you heal the storyteller you get to tell a better story.” -SV “The world is asking so much of us now. I don't want any speaker to leave a platform without talking about ‘what's the new story?' Because we need to be living into a new story right now.” “If you're trying to figure out what they want instead of what we bring, you'll never have a sustainable speaking career.” Links mentioned in this episode: Gail Larsen's website: https://realspeaking.com/ Join The YES Effect Inner Circle Facebook Group for a behind the scenes experience about what it means to Believe, Belong and Become!

Gail is the first woman to be awarded the Tennessee Small Businessman of the Year Award from the US Small Business Administration, the founder of Real Speaking® and the award-winning author of “Transformational Speaking: If You Want To Change The World, Tell A Better Story.” In this episode you’ll hear about:Authentic Presence.It's not about a “comfort zone,” it's about your “home zone.” How do you get home within yourself with a sense of how you are showing up in the moment, what you're discovering and what you'd like to reveal? When you are in your authentic presence you can invite that from others. Your Medicine.An inner knowing when you fully embody the message that you're here to bring to the world.The practice of embodiment is a lot longer than learning something in your head. You don't achieve mastery in anything by learning something in your head that you don’t embody. Alignment. Self-knowledge of where you fit and where your joy and service are. You can show up in joy when it's the right match. Without alignment, you're just heading off on a path that isn't your highest expression. “How is the world speaking to you? Don’t ignore it because it's not Verbal.” Plus:What if? Change your question.• Find your question and see how your life unfolds. If you don't like how your life is unfolding, notice the question you’re answering to and change your question.• Instead of focusing on the past or what no longer works - What if? Put your imagination to work around the world you want and watch what happens. And:What is the overarching story that holds it all?Recognize we have this tender, shared humanity, no matter what position you hold.“We see the world in a way no one else does. What is the story your life has prepared you to foretell?” Until next time! Be curious, be inspired, simplify the way… Gail Larsenwww.realspeaking.comwww.linkedin.com/in/gaillarsen

That each carries an integral thread that becomes woven into our tapestry. As Gail says, "something new always comes when you are in the home zone."
