Strategies for Powerful Communication   This week's special guest, Kathryn Janicek, helps people overcome something many of us fear more than death - public speaking. I loved this conversation because she shared so many valuable tips to improve in so many speaking scenarios, including presentations, interviews, and meetings - so much more than just speaking on a stage.  After being laid off by a network when she was working as their VP of News, Kathryn leveraged her expertise in coaching news personnel and pivoted to create a niche for herself. Today, she has found great success in media training and public speaking coaching for professionals.  Kathryn is a three-time Emmy award-winning media and public speaking trainer with over 25 years of experience. She has shaped the communication and presentation skills of executives across diverse industries, from small businesses to a hundred billion dollar companies. Kathryn's company, Janicek Performance Group, specializes in media interactions, board presentations, high-stakes communications, stage presence, and impactful messaging.  In this episode, we talk a lot about what it takes to overcome your fear of speaking, how to eliminate filler words, and how to self-coach yourself to show up and present better on stage or Zoom. We learn that professionalism is about more than the substance of our work. It's also about how we present our ideas, negotiate at the table, and build supportive networks.  Kathryn believes in the power of a compelling narrative, whether you're in front of a camera or addressing a boardroom. Her personalized coaching sessions help clients master the art of storytelling and the nuances of effective communication that resonate with their audience.    Feel Your Best to Perform Your Best  Something as simple as ensuring you wear comfortable clothes and shoes can make a dramatic difference in your performance and presentation. When you feel good and confident in clothes that fit or know your makeup or hair was done by a professional, it is worth the extra money or effort because it will show in your delivery and presentation.    Scaling Your Business with Sustainable Growth  Scaling a service-based company isn't just about increasing client numbers; it's about creating a business model that generates a steady source of income, even in the owner's absence.  Kathryn shares her wisdom on structuring services, ensuring client retention, and focusing on monthly recurring revenue.    Enhancing Communication Skills  Kathryn insists that self-awareness, pausing effectively, and eliminating unnecessary filler words can significantly improve one's public speaking endeavors. This was a fun episode to record, and I can't wait to have Kathryn back! She left us with incredible, actionable advice that any of us can implement to improve our presence when addressing audiences in a one-on-one or one-to-many setting. Thanks for listening!   What's In This Episode Tips for improving stage presence and effective messaging The impact of societal expectations on women's stage appearance Strategies for addressing common speaking issues like posture and filler words Scaling a service-based business through diverse service offerings   What To Do Next Visit lisalarter.com/e149 for all resources from this episode.

That's how you get success.

For today's podcast, I met with Dr. Katherine Helm as we break down the do's and don'ts of public speaking. From facial expressions, why it's important to get vulnerable, presenting details, attributions, how to share more of your story, to making sure the audience is with you every step of the way…we cover everything you need to know before you step on stage. Tune in to Thought Leaders Amplified — Behind-The-Scenes Public Speaking Training for a TEDx Talk with Kathryn Janicek & Dr. Katherine Helm. What You Will Discover:  ✔️Have a natural performance quality. Facial expressions can get lost and forced, especially when you've practiced the same piece repeatedly. Be conscious as you speak to naturally convey the emotion when needed. ✔️ Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. Being on stage is a golden opportunity for you to show your authentic self. Share the most intimate (and necessary) details of your story to create a lasting impact. ✔️ Present real-world examples. Bring the audience closer to your story before they can say, “I can't relate.” This helps them connect your message to their experiences and deeply understand the core of your speech. ✔️Assume your audience knows nothing. When mentioning celebrities or prominent figures, give a title or a description so they won't feel out of the loop. Present all the important facts of your story along with the emotions your past self would have felt. Act as if your audience is your therapist. Katherine Helm, PhD is a Professor of Psychology and Director of Graduate Programs in Counseling at Lewis University, Romeoville, IL. She is also a practicing psychologist. Her clinical expertise is in working with a wide range of clients including couples. Katherine has authored several publications about racial and cultural issues in mental health, couples' issues, and pedagogy in multicultural courses. She has participated in counselor training at multiple levels and was a 2021 recipient of the Clinical Supervisor of the Year award from the Illinois Counselor Educators and Supervisors division of the Illinois Counseling Association.  Katherine is a sought-after presenter, professional trainer, clinical supervisor, and author.
