In this previously live solo episode of Speaking About Speaking, I talk about my acting training and experience of being an actor. I explain how I use them to get clients comfortable with their content, confident in themselves and excited to be in front of their audience. I discuss the importance of a physical warm-up for your body and face, and how to breathe for performance. Why playing games builds trust and positivity and why fully owning your ‘back story' helps you to speak confidently. I'll also touch on Master Voice Teacher and author, Patsy Rodenberg's concept of 2nd Circle energy and how you can use it to ‘reclaim your presence'. Fascinating stuff!

Jon chats with Jackie Goddard, a voice and acting coach. They explore the benefits of public speaking for architects and architecture practice owners, offering practical tips to overcome the fear of public speaking. Jackie, who has extensive experience in acting and coaching, shares her insights on how effective communication can aid in personal and business growth. They also discuss the significance of storytelling, preparation, and the three B's method: Believe, Breathe, and Be Prepared.Today's Guest...Jackie Goddard is a former fashion designer and recovering actor who's spent 30 years working in and around the arts, most recently as a voice and acting coach. Through her company, Power to Speak, Jackie now works with entrepreneurs, business leaders & teams to make them excited about sharing their ideas and developing their Power To Speak. She is often asked to speak to audiences about public speaking, but also to share her thoughts on topics like the acting process, resilience, joy, and failure. Since 2020 Jackie has hosted a podcast, talking to speakers, authors, actors, & entrepreneurs to discover how they use their voice, story, and creativity for their work & wellbeing.Episode Highlights...00:00 Introduction01:22 Meet Jackie Goddard03:34 The Benefits of Public Speaking for Architects06:29 Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking11:13 Transforming Fear into Excitement15:55 The Power of Storytelling in Public Speaking21:18 First Steps to Public Speaking27:29 The Three B's of Public Speaking31:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts32:45 Favorite Places and FarewellKey Takeaways...Preparation is Key: - Jackie emphasises the importance of thorough preparation in overcoming the fear of public speaking. Getting all your thoughts out on paper, organising them, and practicing out loud with someone are crucial steps. Preparation helps to internalise the content, making it easier to present with confidence and fluidity.The Power of Storytelling: - Incorporating stories into your public speaking can make your message more memorable and engaging. Personal stories are particularly effective because they are easier for the speaker to remember and help build a connection with the audience. The essence is to tell stories that resonate with the audience, not just boast about personal achievements.Shifting Mindset from Fear to Excitement: - Jackie explains that anxiety and excitement are physiologically similar, and by changing your mindset to see the act of public speaking as an exciting opportunity rather than a daunting task, you can improve your performance. Believing in what you are talking about and focusing on the positive outcomes can transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.Links Mentioned In The Episode...Grab Jackie's (free) guide: ‘Speak With Confidence 101'Visit Jackie's Website Connect with Jackie on LinkedInCurious about working with Jon?

She advocates for community building, indie-pendence for life choices, neurodivergence and home education. I saw Rosie on stage recently where she spoke about the importance of community and the role it plays in uniting people and shaping business. We discussed her obsession with community for connection rather than for ROI and how her community of software testers are asked to speak, sometimes for the first time to fellow members at the annual conference. Rosie lives in Brighton where she and her husband ‘unschool' their 5 children and run their business and several successful communities! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! A fabulous conversation.

Rebecca Leppard is an Indonesian entrepreneur who transitioned from a high-powered corner office at a 5-star hotel to the fast-paced and dynamic world of tech and consulting in the UK. I first met Rebecca at a YATM Lunch Club and again when we were asked to speak at a Federation for Small Business event. Most recently Rebecca was on stage for the YATM Creator Day where she spoke about her journey from 5* Indonesian high-flyer to pandemic refugee, having to work her way back up from nothing when the world was in lockdown. It's a fascinating story.   She founded Upgrading Women, a media company and marketing agency helping feminists in business go to market. The agency is a 15-women operation, each with her speciality from LinkedIn to podcasts to newsletters. From the agency's success, Rebecca launched Girl Brand Content Club, an affordable way for coaches and service providers to ‘steal' her content marketing best practices. Alongside talking to Rebecca about how she ended up a refugee in lockdown with no Visa and no job, we discuss how speaking and entrepreneurial culture differs between Southeast Asia and the UK and how she's rebranded and built a successful personal brand from nothing.

Positive persuasion takes sincerity, honesty, and respect. You need to communicate effectively and build rapport with your audience, whoever they are. In this Speaking About Speaking episode, I discuss how you can speak confidently and persuasively. As my friend and fellow speaker, Andrew Thorp says, we are all in the persuasion business. Whenever we speak, we hope to influence, build trust, and create emotional bonds, whether for business, a relationship or as a parent but how do we do that without crossing over to the dark side of manipulation and arrogance? I start the episode by sharing my 5 top tips on speaking with confidence... 1. Believe what you are saying. 2. Breathe 3. Be prepared 4. Vocal variety 5. Tell a story And then I talk about the devices and techniques we can use to influence and persuade, in a good way.

My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking is coaching offer expert, Sales & Marketing Strategist and B2B Speaker, Janine Coombes. Janine's speciality is in positioning services and helping coach- shaped clients create sizzling hot offers. For me though it's her love of performing (she used to have a covers band!) and comedy which shines through her always colourful, sometimes irreverent and often hysterical posts on social media that makes her so watchable. With over 15 years of industry experience including working with big brands like Orange, EE and Europcar, Janine has also delivered many engaging talks both on and offline including Atomicon, You Are The Media, Elevate and MarketEd.Live. We obviously discuss her madcap videos, dressing up as characters and her love of improv but she also shares her best speaking advice, how she found self love through LinkedIn video and how you don't have to be a performer to sell your offers - but it helps!

At the end of last year Brand Strategist, Podcast Host, and Founder of Brand Compass, Shelley Röstlund asked me to help her prepare for a talk she'd been asked to give on stage to an audience of 200 peers for You Are the Media Creator Day in Poole, Dorset in April. She'd been on stage before but found it uncomfortable, so much so she couldn't even remember the experience. She explained during a conversation we had for this podcast in February how she was terrified of the ‘bobbing' heads beyond the lights! Well, she did it! I was there and can report, that in fact - she smashed it! Even better than that, she remembers the whole experience and she had some amazing feedback (she got mobbed in the ladies after!) This conversation was our first chance to have a full debrief about the day, the talk and the aftermath. We discuss the process I took her through. From ‘pulling out' the stories that were relevant and would resonate with the audience to getting her past ‘uncanny valley'. Shelley underlines the importance of storytelling for your personal brand. It was also something that she took away from our work together. The quality of conversations she had after the event surprised her. In our conversation she tells me she's learnt not to edit those stories because you don't know what will ultimately resonate with the audience. She says, ‘tell your story, in your voice and in a way that's comfortable for you'. I couldn't has said it better myself.   If you're about to give a talk or presentation and want to speak with confidence. Or if speaking to your audience is something you want to do more of, but fear is holding you back, then my conversation with Shelley is a must!   Find Shelley at: https://shelleyrostlund.com/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://powertospeak.co.uk/newsletter/ And subscribe to the channel for more tips and techniques on how to get excited to speak to your audience.

For this previously live episode of Speaking about Speaking I spoke with Michelle Haslam, a TikTok-preneur known as the TikTok Lady. The mid 40's mother of two uses her own experience with the platform to show small business owners how to use it to grow their business (without having to dance!) Having started her own small business in affiliate marketing in May 2021 alongside a part-time 9-5, she moved to TikTok to promote it. She admits being shockingly bad at first but stuck with it and after researching, learning and honing her videos to suit the platform's algorithm started making some traction. She is now making consistent sales and has over 95k followers on one of her accounts. Her mid-life TikTok ‘influencer' status means that she is now invited to speak on stages about her experience. She tells me how with my help she is now comfortable and excited to get in front of an audience (also, how I got her sweeping my kitchen floor with her finger tips!!) We also discuss how she how she monetises her TikTok feed, copes with the inevitable Trolls and how she managed to be featured in the Irish Sun Newspaper for rubbing banana peel into her face!

In this week's episode, Anna speaks to Jackie Goddard about the various pivots in her career, from fashion to acting to coaching and speaking. Together, they dive into the art of crafting meaningful content for speaking engagements. They discuss the importance of believing in and being comfortable with your material, aiming to deliver relevant and valuable content to the audience rather than just creating noise. Jackie shares insights from her daily routine, which includes writing, organising her live podcast, and working with clients both in person and via Zoom. She provides valuable advice on overcoming nervousness when speaking and emphasises the significance of being open, curious, and engaging in your delivery. Anna and Jackie both reflect on their personal definitions of success, focusing on credibility, respect, and recognition, rather than fame or monetary gain. Jackie shares her unique journey from aspiring actor to fashion designer, and how motherhood and a need for career pivot during lockdown led her to establish "Power to Speak," a business dedicated to building confidence in public speaking. Tune in as we explore how to reframe public speaking as a positive, engaging, and confidence-building experience. *Resources mentioned during the episode* 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring - If you're looking for one-to-one support to help you achieve your specific life and business goals, Anna has a limited number of spots for individual coaching and mentoring. www.onestepoutside.com/coaching Join the free Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/onestepoutside/ Follow Anna on Instagram: https://instagram.com/annaselundberg  Get started with these free resources: Explore a broader definition of success https://onestepoutside.com/success  Find a way to quit your job and start your own business https://onestepoutside.com/roadmap  Get a free assessment of your business https://onestepoutside.com/scorecard Discover the book, Outside of the 9 to 5 https://outsideofthe9to5.com

My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking is Corporate LinkedIn trainer, employee advocacy expert and Keynote Speaker, Sarah Clay. In the past Sarah has trained as a lawyer, produced TV and music videos, and ran marketing and PR departments. Sarah loves LinkedIn and now runs her own social media business training people how to use the platform and speaks to audiences on the subject too. She grew up as the only girl with six loud and confident brothers which meant she had to quickly learn the art of making herself heard. Being raised in a male-dominated environment, she's a woman with a burning desire to change the world. Which she is doing by regularly stepping on stages and hosting her own podcast from her luscious Live Lounge. Sarah and I have met several times at You Are the Media and Digital Women events. And we've played pool and danced a couple of times too (I like to think if we'd we met at school, we'd have been BFF's!

Don't Worry About Worrying! It doesn't matter who we are or what situation we are in we all worry! We ALL get anxious. So should we worry about it? Does it mean there is something wrong with us? For this previously live episode of the Speaking about Speaking podcast I'll be sharing my thoughts on the subject and the advice I give not just to clients, but to family and friends when they are facing a situation that causes them discomfort. I talk about getting comfortable outside of your comfort zone, using status exercises so you don't have to 'fake it until you make it' and how to we ALL get nervous when we have to do anything for the first time. Plus I share other peoples thoughts on how to deal with walking in to a room full of strangers and feeling comfortable with small talk. What worries you? A social situation? A business network?

Stay humble, stay challenged. In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking I speak with Director, Financial Strategist, and former CFO of Gymshark, Philip Daw.   Chartered accountant, Phil spent 28 years as senior partner in general practice, before in 2019, he was tempted by fast-growing gym wear brand, Gymshark to join them as chief financial officer (CFO).   A brave move considering founder, Ben Francis, was only 27 and the average age of Gymshark employees was 28, but Phil embraced the challenge. During his time with them they became what's known as a ‘Unicorn' business, that is they achieved a billion-dollar valuation!   Now, as Director and financial lead at We Are Whanau, alongside former Gymshark president, Steve Hewitt, Phil helps other companies find their ‘North Star' and progress to Unicorn status.   Of course, this is fascinating stuff but - I hear you ask - what has this got to do with Speaking About Speaking?   Let me explain... I knew very little about Gymshark, the business or its ethos before Phil asked me in September 2021 to go to Gymshark HQ in Solihull and work with him and the team to help improve their public speaking skills. They were presenting to an important and formidable audience and Phil in particular needed a confidence boost.   As I always do, before heading off I did a little research and found that founder, Ben Francis, being an introvert, realised his lack of speaking confidence was making his audience feel uncomfortable, so decided it was his duty to learn the art of public.   I also found that the company motto is ‘Stay Humble.' Which I love! For me, humility is an underestimated but crucial quality that creates curious and compassionate speakers.   I was honoured and excited to have Philip join me for this conversation. We discussed all of the above. Plus, the power of ... Building a culture that empowers people. Influencer marketing. A simple business model. The sliding doors moment.

What is homophily and does it make the boat go faster? In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking I speak with Trainer, Coach and Speaker, Adam Armstrong, a former Head Boy of and teacher at the famous Italia Conti Performing Arts School. His acting credits include The Bill, Grange Hill, and The Minder. And his students have included Russell Brand, Danny Mays, Martine McCutcheon, and Claire goose. I met Adam a year ago when, alongside fellow acting coach, Peter Ferris, we designed an acting course for stunt trainees which we now run for the British Stunt Register. Adam also founded his own training company, Herald, in 2009, which offers bespoke presentation training and coaching around personal effectiveness, communication skills, creative thinking and change management. Also, he's studied Psychology and NLP, and he's ex-champion runner, completing a mile in very close to 4 minutes! Before I met Adam, I'd never heard the word homophily or the expression ‘Does it make the boat go faster?' Now I use both regularly!

In this previously live solo Speaking About Speaking episode, I talk you through T.R.I.P.P., my acronym for increased confidence, creativity... and fun in your life. You may know me as a speaker and acting coach. It's my business, it's how I help people speak to their audience and I love it... But my reason for being is to use my training as an actor and artist to build connection, confidence, and resilience, through improvisation, play, and positivity. Follow TRIPP to help develop your creativity and your joy. So, what does T.R.I.P.P. stand for? T - Truth but can also represent TRUST. 'Confidence is a trust in oneself.' Cicero R - Resilience. The joy within. Finding and owning your story. I - Improvising but can also represent INNOVATION (creativity) "You Can't Use Up Creativity, the More You Use the More You Have" Maya Angelou P - Play. The difference between child-ish and child-like. 'Playful people are creative people.' Tom Morris P - Positivity. Passion and enthusiasm for life and work.

"Podcasting changed my life!" so says podcast Junkie, Harry Duran. In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking my guest, Podcast Strategist, Keynote Speaker, Author and Podcast Junkie, Harry and I discuss the merits of an actors training and how it can help you show and share your vulnerable side. Harry spent 20 years working in the Marketing departments of JPMorganChase and E-Trade before switching to the world of podcasting. He's hosted his own show since 2014 and has published over 300+ interviews across his 3 shows. Originally, with an interest in electronic music, he intended to podcast interview DJs but soon pivoted when he realised that tracking down and interviewing superstar DJs wasn't so easy! And so, Podcast Junkies was born, an interview-based show focused on, he says, the true superstars of podcasting, the hosts themselves. He's since founded FullCast, a full-service, done-for-you podcast agency and has made it his personal mission to help one thousand business owners launch their podcast and become the leading authority in their market. And if that wasn't enough, he founded and hosts the Vertical Farming Podcast. He explains what that is and why finding a niche, especially if it's on a topic that 'lights you up' can lead to success for you and your audience.

"The real biggest growth I got was when I started posting my vlogs [...] My content means something to them." My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking is Content Creator, Business Leader & Speaker, Matt King. I first met Matt on a Zoom screen in 2020 during the first lockdown. At that time, he was running his sales coaching business, Sales Change and hosting a podcast of the same name. Since then, he's evolved winning awards for his business leadership, becoming a brand ambassador, vlogger and blogger. Now he's all about helping teams grow to the next level. Focusing on collaboration, enjoyment, mindset, and everything that builds the momentum that leads to sales and growth - as long as it's fun! He's a modern-day renaissance man, curious, creative, collaborative and a consistent content creator. We talk about the journey (including stints in the military and broadcasting) that led him to speaking on stages and how congruence, consistency and creativity (so many great C words!!) have contributed to his success. We discuss the importance video content for your social media (Matt has become a bit of a celebrity with his clients by vlogging his adventures), and how even an employee needs a personal brand. Plus, how a haircut can help you speak with confidence to anyone, even to the most intimidating audience! Such a cool conversation! (more great C words!!)

Even though you know speaking in public is going to feel uncomfortable you have to grab those speaking opportunities to grow your business! My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking is one half of husband-and-wife duo, Yellow Tuxedo. The wife half that is, lovely Emily Braithwaite. Emily and husband, Alan have run a business together for over 10 years, firstly in the wedding and events arena and now in the Digital Marketing world. With their company, Yellow Tuxedo, they show small business owners how to increase their online presence. They also, launched a podcast last year called Digital Circus LIFE | The Small Business Podcast. Although Emily is an adventurous soul, receiving a medal from Queen Camilla for her services to scouting and recently heading a group of women on a trip to Malawi, she is just as happy at home with Alan, their 3 kids and the chickens. Although used to speaking to a virtual audience producing videos and webinars for Yellow Tuxedo's YouTube channel and its Digital Circus membership, Emily is now expected to speak on larger stages to live audiences which she admits to finding it uncomfortable. We discuss how she deals with the nerves and whether being part of a dynamic duo helps (or hinders!

Brand Strategist, Podcast Host, and Founder of Brand Compass, Shelley Röstlund has been invited to speak to an auditorium of peers in April for the You Are the Media Creator Day in Poole, Dorset and she's asked me to help her speak with confidence and get performance ready! This includes helping her shape an engaging, entertaining, and insightful 20-minute talk.   Shelley has been on stage before but found the experience uncomfortable. We discuss why she thought it necessary to work with a coach, how she's feeling with the event on the horizon and about the process I'm taking her through. She also tells me about her fear of the ‘bobbing' heads beyond the lights, the fear of not being funny and her past 'blank trauma'. I offer her some solutions and listen as she shares the story behind her talk and the video that prompted event organiser, Mark Masters  to ask her to speak.     If you're about to give a talk or presentation and want to speak with confidence. Or if speaking to your audience is something you want to do more of, but fear is holding you back, then my conversation with Shelley will answer some of your questions.

In this previously live episode, I speak with international award-winning keynote speaker, strategist and author of the world-famous Newsjacking, Jon Burkhart. I know Jon as part of the You Are The Media community. He was the first person I ever interviewed in person for my podcast. A firecracker when it comes to speaking, his energy onstage and off is frenetic and infectious. As a professional speaker, he talks about the WHAT, HOW & WHY of what makes a brand more memorable and meaningful. Jon describes himself as a 'firecracker' and he's not exaggerating! He is dynamic, different (he started our conversation wearing a Panda's head!) and an advocate of 'dopamine storytelling'. He explains what that is in our fascinating and all-too-short conversation. He tells me how he trained to be a speaker before he became a marketing strategist and we discuss amongst other things whether speakers are extroverts or introverts, and what makes him nervous on stage. Plus, what he mean by Newsjacking and Fartstorming! His answer to what makes a good speaker good and a bad speaker suck is quotable. So here it is... 'Good speakers always have the end in mind. Bad speakers always have themselves in mind.' So true. It's always great fun talking to Jon and I promise it'll be as much fun to listen.   To find out more about Jon follow him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonburkhart/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/h0x0h8 And download the FREE How To Impact, Influence and Inspire Your Audience E-booklet: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/r4g3m0

In this previously live episode, social media and LinkedIn expert, Ella Orr and I discuss how you use your voice on social media. We talk about the platform you use, the content you create and the risk to your Personal Brand and status when you show up in front of an audience. So... Do you Speak up or shut up? ❓ Do you consider the risks to your personal brand when you put yourself in front of an audience? ❓ Are you concerned that speaking up or standing up for your values will lower your status in the eyes of your tribe and alienate potential clients? ❓ Do YOU conform to fit in so as not to make waves? Ella argues that building a personal brand requires you to take a risk. ❓ Is that something that worries you and means you stay in your box and in your comfort zone?

My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking was the marketing legend, Mark Schaefer. I first became aware of Mark through the marketing-based community You Are The Media when during lockdown and with Covid he spoke at one of their Zoom events. He likes to say he was a Covid early adopter. I feel incredibly fortunate that he agreed to come on my little ol' podcast as not only is he a globally recognised speaker of 20 years, (his speeches have inspired audiences in 40 countries) but he's also the best-selling author of 10 books. Including Belonging to the Brand, a book on the role of community in modern marketing in which he dedicates a chapter to Mark Masters, founder of You Are The Media. He also co-authored The Most Amazing Marketing Book Ever with his own community, Rise. (FYI, my own podcast is referenced, and I get a mention in the Endnotes!!) His blog, GROW, and podcast “The Marketing Companion” are ranked among the top-rated publications in the marketing field. He's a futurist, business consultant and educator. And I was right - 30 minutes wasn't long enough. However, the 43 minutes we spent together were incredibly insightful if you want to get paid to speak, write a book, develop your personal brand and become KNOWN! Mark shares his humble speaking beginnings when payment was a chicken dinner. He tells of how he put on his 'big boy pants' and battled his nerves to get on stage. We discuss what should come first the book or the talk and how to monetise both. He also shares some novel ways to get compensated for speaking and why, even though he coaches speakers he's never been coached himself! And at the end of it all declares, Personal Brand is Everything!

In this previously LIVE episode, I speak with public speaking coach and mentor, Adrienne Saunders. Adrienne is the Founder and Director of Yes You Can Training which provides learner-based and practical public speaking and confidence training programmes to small and medium-sized companies. The first line of her website says it all... ‘Every time you speak and there is someone listening, it's public speaking.'  She works mainly with female leaders in a male-dominated business environment to enhance their communication skills so they can make themselves heard. Adrienne's background is in team gymnastics, achieving World and European Championship medals. Her sporting skills led to success in a business career which she now shares with professionals to help them reach their full potential. Obviously, we spoke about Adrienne's medal-winning sports background and discussed how an athlete's discipline and focus can be used in the business world. Plus, how confident communication skills can make a leader's job easy! She also told me how she helps clients craft a talk and gets them on a TEDx stage. So if you think you can't speak in public - YES YOU CAN!   To find out more about Adrienne go to her website: https://www.yyctraining.com Or follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yes_you_can_training/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/h0x0h8 And download the FREE How To Impact, Influence and Inspire Your Audience E-booklet: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/r4g3m0

For this episode, I spoke about speaking with Anna Bravington, marketing strategist and co-founder of Those That Dare. Anna has 24 years of experience across digital and marketing and has worked on some crazy campaigns in partnership with brands like Microsoft and PlayStation whilst heading up digital marketing at GAME. In 2022 she was named one of the NatWest Telegraph 100 Female Entrepreneurs to Watch. Anna is a huge advocate for diversity in marketing and is investing in new ways of capturing diverse voices. Most recently Anna has joined 36 authors, from 10 countries, to collaborate on a Mark Schaefer project and write the first book ever created entirely by a Web3 community entitled, The Most Amazing Marketing Book Ever. In her chapter, Anna discusses Experiential marketing. She reads her own chapter and tells me how reading your own words is harder than it looks. Anna is also a speaker. She has presented at, among others at Brighton SEO and the You Are the Media Creator Day. She is multi-faceted and multi-talented. Among the questions, I asked Anna was what advice would she give to an introvert, i.e., somebody that's quite shy but knows they need to get out there and promote themselves by speaking in public? Her answer was to start where you feel comfortable and with an audience that will encourage and support you and also give you constructive (not destructive) feedback. And I agree. Take baby steps! Start small and start with an audience that loves and supports you. For Anna and myself that audience is the You Are The Media community, but for you, it might be a group, or online community you belong to, family or even your other half (an audience of 1 is still an audience). Anna also tells me how you can successfully market Christmas dinner in a tin! Be daring with your marketing, she says. She is a lover of data and says by using SEO correctly she can get CEOs excited about the metrics.

My guest for this episode calls herself a Creativity Doula. It describes what Hollis Citron does beautifully. But what is a Creativity Doula? Listen to the episode to find out, of course, but in a nutshell, Hollis helps her clients 'birth' their creativity. She gives them permission and support to express themselves creatively. A former art teacher, turned coach, multi-book author, publisher and host of the Creative Conversations podcast, she is on a mission to make creativity accessible to everyone and is passionate about helping people build the confidence to recognise, encourage, and express the innate creativity that they are born with. And she believes as do I that Creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush. There is SO much synergy between Hollis and me that our conversation was a joy. We cover all things creative (obviously) but we also talked about parenting, labels, sharing stories and finding your voice. And her definition of Creativity is profound!

It's just being confident…”Jackie Goddard has spent 30 years working in the arts.

And actually what that does is that keeps people very small because they're frightened of showing up as themselves. And so we hide, we hide behind the character we think we should be. So we play rather than actually being…” “… that is really important what you have there, that knowledge you have, that that message you want to share is really important. As your audience, you are telling me this and I'm listening.  As an audience, I can tell you that this is worth sharing.”“Doesn't matter how successful you are. I mean I've worked with CFOs of some very big companies and even they have a certain amount of imposter syndrome. So I don't think anybody escapes that.

Trevor Young is a Strategist, Consultant and a Content Marketing & Communications coach. He's also an Author & Speaker, a Content Creator & Social Broadcaster. He provides "up-to-the-minute communications strategies and astute guidance for forward-thinking individuals and businesses wanting to grow their influence and create more impact in the marketplace." If you make content to promote your business you NEED to listen to my conversation with Trevor. A 'country kid' from Australia and son of a bank manager, Trevor grew up in a bank next door to the local newspaper offices. He went to sleep to the sound of the printing press. No surprise then that he became a journalist before moving into the world of social media and content marketing. He's been blogging since 2007 and has written 2 books, Micro Domination and Content Marketing for PR. He's also a personal brand mentor and guide (he's known as the PR Warrior), speaker, educator and content creator. We talk about his growing up in Warracknabeal (yes, that's a real place!), his initial fear of public speaking (he did his first 50 talks for nothing), his love of writing, the benefit (and pitfalls) of self-publishing and how writing a book has opened doors to other opportunities. On creating content, he says we should 'nail our colours to the mast!' What is it we want to be known for? We are our own media companies and should pick one platform, master it, and then move on to the next. He has some great advice on how to earn your audience and 'cut through the noise.' And apart from all of the above we just about had time to discuss when's a good time to write the great Australian crime novel and his time on legendary Aussie soap, Neighbours!! Seriously, there were SO many takeaways, from our conversation. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Jerry Seinfeld once quipped: “According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” We are always presenting ourselves, our story and our ideas, whether we're speaking on-stage or at a meet-up, in boardroom meetings, in our video content, and podcast interviews. But for many of us, it's not something we like doing, while others don't mind speaking in public, but they make a hash of it because they're not prepared, and they don't necessarily take their audience into consideration. Let's cut to the chase: Building a thought leader brand often will require you to communicate your message from multiple platforms. Not only is it a powerful proposition, but it's also a privilege to be able to present to an audience, whether virtually, in-person on-stage, or via our content (webinars, videos, podcasts, etc). This is the topic we chat about in this episode of the Reputation Revolution, and to help us do just that is JACKIE GODDARD, founder of Power to Speak. Jackie is a creative producer, acting, voice and presentation coach who helps entrepreneurs, leaders and speakers get excited about sharing their business ideas! In this episode, she shares how she works with her clients so they can step up and communicate confidently and powerfully on any platform. Jackie explains the importance of knowing why you're there (on the virtual or physical stage), and what the value is that you're sharing. Your story is your bedrock, she says, and you should be able to adapt it to different platforms. Jackie discusses: The power of gaining insights on what people think about you ( she refers to the “criticism sandwich” - good point, bad point, good point)Why creating a bank of personal examples and stories can give you the communications edge ("start a story journal" and collect anecdotes and stories, Jackie recommends)The importance of having a solid understanding of your audience. "You want to inform, interest, entertain your audience": What stories can you tell that will benefit? What do you want your audience to feel? What do you want them to go away and do? What action do you want them to take?Imposter syndrome, and why many people - as per Jerry Seinfeld's quote - are averse to speaking in public. "We have more knowledge on our subject than we think!" Jackie says. Whether you participate in podcasts, panels, meetups, boardroom presentations, workshops, Zoom presentations, or are asked to deliver keynote presentations, you'll find this chat with Jackie helpful and inspiring!

We talk to Jackie Goddard about the importance of finding your voice, to make sure you can be heard. That can be anything from being a speaker, to social posts or even just going on to Zoom calls. Let's face it, as a business owner, you even have to be able to communicate to your staff, let alone to your customers. But as a small business owner, you will likely need to be involved with sales, marketing and networking, so now is the time to get into the mindset of saying what needs to be said. We talk about changing your mindset to realise that people need to hear what you have to say. You have to enjoy yourself and believe in what you are saying. Find out more about Jackie and how she can help you find your voice at: https://www.powertospeak.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/powertospeakuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/-------------------------------------------------------------------------- SponsorsThe winner of our competition, this month's sponsor is Nicky Booton Coaching.

It's been said many times that it is important that people know, like and trust you. Likeability and reliability don't seem like the sexiest of success traits and yet, they are some of the most underrated ones, especially when we move away from the stereotypes of successful people being uncaring and lacking in empathy and we are awakening to the need to have a good relationship with our customers and the people whose products and services we buy. My guest Jackie Goddard has always had a passion for theatre and the dramatic arts and she saw a great opportunity to bring her experience and knowledge from that industry over to the world of communication skills and presentation training. Jackie's business and her podcast both share the name 'The Power to Speak' and if you want to hear me being a guest on Jackie's show, you can go here: https://apple.co/3vGA036 In this episode: How one person can directly affect the course of your life for good or bad Likeability & reliability as influence tools What it's like working with Dame Judi Dench What can we learn from theatre and the arts?

A lot of our content on Leaning Forward is about communicating a better story on the outside, but this episode looks within - the story of a great company culture. Our guest is Jim Liptrot, Managing Director of Howorth Air Technology based in Bolton, Lancs. He's played a huge role in creating a culture based around Purpose, People and Behaviours. Their work truly saves lives, ensuring ultra safe air quality in operating theatres and research labs.
