“Chill out. It will all work out.” -Grant BaldwinJeffrey Feldberg and Grant Baldwin discuss the importance of public speaking and how it can be used to grow a business. They also discussed the need to have a clear strategy and goal when it comes to speaking and how to make sure to avoid common mistakes. Finally, they discussed the esteem associated with being a speaker and how it can be used to influence, network, and make an impact.Grant recommends that speakers practice and prepare a lot, use stories to connect with the audience, and be vulnerable when telling stories. He also suggests capturing stories as they happen and being clear about the point of the story.Grant suggests that when crafting a story, speakers should always ask themselves two questions: "So what?" and "Now what?" He also emphasizes the importance of playing to one's strengths and being authentic, as well as delivering the story in a way that matches the size of the room. He suggests enunciating clearly and speaking at a speed that the audience can follow, as well as looking into the camera when making key points.Click here to subscribe to The Deep Wealth Podcast to save time and effort.SELECTED LINKS FOR THIS EPISODEThe Speaker Lab (@thespeakerlab) / XThe Speaker Lab (@thespeakerlab) • Instagram photos and videosThe Speaker Lab / FacebookThe Speaker Lab | LinkedInthespeakerlab /TiktokCockroach Startups: What You Need To Know To Succeed And ProsperFREE Deep Wealth eBook on Why You Suck At Selling Your Business And What You Can Do About It (Today)Book Your FREE Deep Wealth Strategy CallResources To Have You Thrive And ProsperThe Deep Wealth Podcast helps you extract your business and personal deep wealth.

"I think speakers are being called to be even more dynamic, more impactful, and a greater return on investment if they're addressing someone or having the pleasure of addressing someone in person and live."Joey Coleman joined us on the podcast this week to chat with Grant Baldwin about his journey of building a speaking business, leveraging books to create credibility, and learning how to eb with the ebbs and flow with the flows as the speaking world grows and changes to accommodate virtual and in-person events. "Every presentation I give, I try to think about, what do each of those three separate groups want? What do they need, and how does my speech serve them? So what is the ROI for the check signer? It's going to be a much tighter dollar ROI than for the person sitting in the crowd. But for the person sitting in the crowd, it's going to be a behavioral ROI."In this episode, Grant and Joey dig into: Joey's speaking history and expertise The shift in booking timelinesHow to engage crowds virtually What your marketing materials should target How to make sure everyone sees the ROI of you as a speaker Book publishing for your credibility How to run uber specific discovery calls for success “It's my personal belief in my worldview that humans are humans. Regardless of industry, customers have certain things that they're going to do. I don't care whether you're buying a loaf of bread or a tractor. You have certain desires, innate feelings as a human being, and the same holds true for employees. If you're a brand new employee, I don't care whether you're the CFO or the call center rep, you're going to have certain human desires that you want. What I try to do is have as the foundation for everything I do the commonality amongst humans.”Episode Chapters:[00:02:37] How has covid changed the state of the speaking industry?[00:04:45] What is the percentage of your in person vs online gigs?[00:09:48] How do you provide better solutions when what they ask for isn't what they need?[00:14:13] What audiences do you need to impress with your content?[00:19:07] How to use common human desires to drive business outcomes?[00:22:12] What does it take to focus on customer and employee engagement?[00:27:37] How did you publish your books?[00:31:54] Why should we read your new book?Epsiode Resources: Connect with JoeyGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As a speaker, it's often hard to find the balance between telling your story, building your personal brand, and serving your audience. No matter what your story is, you have to connect it to solving your audience's problems. Otherwise, you're just talking about yourself–and that's a surefire strategy for failure if your goal is making an impact. On Episode 458 of The Speaker Lab podcast, Grant Baldwin invited Bruce Van Horn, a speaker with a pretty extraordinary story, to help you walk that very fine line. Before Bruce was a speaker, he was a creative writing major who pivoted to a successful career in the software business. If you're struggling to connect the dots between what you studied, where you work, and what you want to speak about, his path will inspire you to think outside the box and buck expectations. Bucking expectations is a big part of Bruce's mission. On top of being a speaker, he is also a life coach, author, and podcast host. Through his various efforts to promote positive change using words, he helps other people experience radical mindset shifts and get unstuck from negative patterns in their life. On the show, he shares some of those strategies and a sneak peek into what he calls his “victory routines.” His podcast, Life Is A Marathon, invokes a powerful experience of self-reflection and mindset shift he had while training for a marathon during a series of tragic life events.You'll also learn all about: The drawbacks of basing your career choices entirely on money. How Zig Ziglar inspired Bruce to kick his victimhood mindset. What we can learn about from marathon training. How to leverage a podcast to get you more speaking gigs.

One of the biggest mindset shifts I experienced was at a time when I felt like I had my feet in several different industries and went to all the different industry conferences - coaching, speaking, authorship, podcasting, you name it. The mindset shift was when I realized there was really one business model, and all those roles fell under this one business model: The expert business model. As experts on a topic, we often find ourselves wanting to be a speaker. In today's conversation, I sit down with Grant Baldwin to delve into the state of the speaking industry in a post-pandemic world. Grant sheds light on the industry's resilience, emphasizing the success brought about by virtual events and hybrid formats. We discuss the vital importance of treating speaking as a professional endeavor and investing in sales and marketing efforts. Grant shares invaluable advice on finding the right speaking opportunities and carving out a niche to gain momentum. Join us as we uncover the secrets to thriving in a competitive market, and unlock your speaking potential.
