What if you could go from a completely blank page - or in this case, a blank poster board - to mapping out and practicing your signature talk… all in just one day? That's exactly what happened at our recent in-person Speaking Accelerator Workshop in Orlando, and in this episode, you'll hear directly from three of the incredible women who participated: Lesline Pittman, Monica Mitchell, and Dr. Emma Jones. You'll get the behind-the-scenes scoop on what it's like to go from idea to delivery in a single day (yes, it's totally possible!) - including the unexpected improv exercises, vulnerable storytelling moments, and the real magic that happens when smart, passionate women come together to use their voice. In this episode, we talk about: Why each of them said “yes” to attending the workshop (even flying in from out of state!) How they went from “Can I really do this in one day?” to confidently practicing their talk on stage What it felt like to get feedback in real-time and push past perfectionism The power of sharing personal stories What they're doing next with their talks and visibility efforts You'll also hear some powerful lessons about embracing vulnerability, escaping the “expert trap,” and why your story absolutely matters, even if others are talking about similar topics. Whether you've been thinking about joining one of our in-person workshops or you just want some encouragement to get your own talk out of your head and into the world, this episode will inspire you to take that next bold step. Our next 1-day Speaking Workshop is on October 30, 2025, in Downtown Orlando, Florida!

Our guest on this episode is Monica Mitchell who’s the Main Street director in Cordele, Georgia. She explained the Main Street marketing concept and shares some of the downtown love—the heart of soul of the town. There are an average of 85 trains a day that go through Cordele —the locals say it sounds like money when those trains go through the community. There are only two other diamond tracks in the state of Georgia and one is in Cordele, Georgia. So much happening in this little community! Rural communities sometimes lose the young people, but through educating the public of what is happening in the area both the appreciation and love can grow. Monica shares insights of the importance of mentoring and what it’s like to raise a family in rural America. Song used by permission "Stomp" by Donica Knight and Jim Huff
