Podcasts about Public speaking

A weak presentation closing can dilute your message and at worst, nullify your impact. In Part 4 of this series, Mark and Darren explore both principles for a solid closing, and mistakes that inexperienced presenters tend to make. This episode covers Step #5: CREATE YOUR COMPELLING CLOSE.   SNIPPETS:   • Your close should reinforce your premise   • There are several closing options   • Select the most appropriate closing for your specific presentation   • The DIALOG CLOSE is a flexible and easy option   • A compelling close is an opportunity to repeat and reinforce a guru's wisdom   • Internalize your closing; know it cold   • Prepare your closing and opening like choosing slices of bread for a sandwich   • Avoid the common mistake of delivering multiple closings   • Use Q & A to set up your closing   • NEVER end on Q & A; leave one final point that inspires your audience   How to Write Your Own Introduction: https://markbrownspeaks.com/set-up-your-success-with-your-introduction/   Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com

Alright, let's chat about the speaker's journey, shall we? Because let's be honest, nearly every one of us, when we first dipped our toes into the world of speaking, was juggling it with a "proper job." Speaking was our side hustle, our passion project, simmering on the back burner. But then, the magic starts to happen, the bookings pick up, the buzz grows, and suddenly, you're looking at that side hustle thinking, "Hmm, maybe this could be the thing!"On this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Podcast, we are delighted to welcome back one of my shining stars—a former client and friend, Trent Theroux —to share his incredible journey, from the corner office as a CFO of a major corporation to gracing stages full-time.If you are thinking about giving up your day job and making speaking your full-time gig, you simply can't afford to miss this episode!For access to FULL SHOW NOTES, including video and links, visit https://www.speakerlauncher.com/category/podcast/

Wait, who said introverts can't speak in public? That tired myth has silenced too many powerful voices for too long. This episode calls time on the idea that presence is pure performance. Public speaking isn't about being loud, comedic or extraverted. It is about being heard with impact. Whether you're leading a meeting, recording a podcast, or speaking truth in a room that prefers noise, your voice has weight. It is time to claim the mic, not for applause, but because what you have to say matters.   ** Key Points ** Public speaking is a learned skill Your voice is an act of personal agency Quiet, thoughtful communication is leadership   #PublicSpeakingForIntroverts #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

“I feel guilty to charge [money] for what I love to do…one woman said, ‘They should pay you because it's your gift, you shouldn't feel guilty about it.'”Few stories capture the grit and transformation behind a speaking business like Stephanie Dauphin's journey. This week, Grant Baldwin chats with Stephanie on The Speaker Lab podcast about investing over a decade in her craft—often speaking for free, wrangling self-doubt, and struggling with the idea that meaningful, joyful work can (and should) be well-paid.Her turning point wasn't just learning how to market herself or build a keynote. It was doing the mindset work: identifying and letting go of limiting beliefs around money, motherhood, and self-worth, many rooted in her upbringing. Stephanie is honest about the messy process, the fear of charging what you're worth, and the inner resistance that can sabotage your best opportunities.What shines through is her hard-earned wisdom: fulfillment comes from embracing your gifts, serving others, and having the courage to genuinely value yourself. Stephanie's story is proof that your passion deserves to be your profession—and that the most important shift is believing you're worth every bit of it. If you're doubting what's possible, let Stephanie's journey remind you that building your dream starts with betting on yourself, even when the path forward is unclear.You'll learn:How authority can be a speaker's assetThe challenges of remote work and its effect on workplace relationshipsIssues around charging for speaking engagementsStrategies for overcoming mindset obstaclesStephanie's experience with The Speaker LabAbout building a mailing list and using content to generate referralsThe importance of designing a speaking career around family needsStep for self-developmentAnd much, much more!“More and more people are working remotely, and it has a big effect on team cohesion.”Episode ResourcesStephanie's WebsiteGet 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.

How to communicate clearly in any context, from newsrooms to the world stage.All good communication, whether spoken or written, is built on the same foundation. In everything from police reporting for a newspaper to serving as spokesman for the Pope, Greg Burke has found the key: "Keep it as simple as possible."Burke has worked as a journalist for Time Magazine and Fox News, as Director of Communications at IESE Business School in Barcelona and Madrid, and even as a communications advisor and spokesman for the Vatican. Across his varied experiences, he's found that the biggest communication challenges often require the simplest solutions. From expressing “curiosity and real interest” in those we're speaking with to ensuring our messages are “clear, consistent, and timely,” he advocates for core principles that apply in all types of communication.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burke and host Matt Abrahams discuss communication strategies that work whether you're presenting to a team of five or millions of parishioners worldwide. As Burke shares, it's all very simple: “Know your audience, practice, and have fun.”To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Greg BurkeEp.22 Under Pressure: How to Communicate Clearly and Timely During a Crisis  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:56) - Asking Good Questions (03:49) - Writing Clearly and Concretely (05:28) - Editing and AI's Role in Writing (06:44) - Three Keys to Great Communication (08:33) - The Importance of Feedback (10:13) - Communication at the Vatican (12:57) - Crisis Communication: Lessons from the Vatican (15:59) - The Final Three Questions (22:40) - Conclusion     *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

“When you are speaking and you're in front of people and you give them the momentum to look at life from a different perspective or do something they don't have the courage to do, you could help change people's lives.”Podcasts are full of powerhouse moments, but few stories capture the grit, honesty, and resolve it takes to truly make an impact the way Stacey Chillemi's does. On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Stacey sits down with Grant Baldwin and peels back the curtain on her journey—from overcoming epilepsy and setbacks in the corporate world to building a thriving career as a speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host.Stacey talks openly about the uphill climb, the self-doubt, the setbacks, and the reality that success is never an overnight story. For Stacey, building a speaking business meant reaching out to anyone who would listen, stubbornly persevering through rejection, and finding conviction in her own lived experience—even when the path forward felt unclear.This episode is a masterclass in resilient action. Stacey lays it out straight that your story is enough, but confidence comes from doing the work consistently. She reminds us that fulfillment isn't about chasing perfection but about putting yourself out there, showing up with empathy, and taking the first step, even when you're not sure what comes next. If you're someone waiting for the “right time” to chase your dream or if you need a nudge to believe your story matters, let Stacey's hard-won wisdom and relentless optimism show you what's possible when you bet on yourself!You'll learn:The unrealistic expectation of overnight successHow Stacey helps others by sharing her storyHow difficulties impacted Stacey's career pathThe power speaking has on creating emotional impactAdvice for when your story doesn't feel “big enough”Challenges of narrowing broad experiences into a focused messageThe value of cold outreachAnd much, much more!“I had self doubt and I had to work on building confidence in myself, and anytime I saw that I made some mistakes, I had to tweak it, and fix it, and just keep moving forward.”Episode ResourcesStacey's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet 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.

“When you understand going into [speaking] that it's going to suck for a while, it's going to take longer than you think and it's going to be harder than you think. When you know those things up front, when you meet them, you can anticipate it.”Stepping onto the stage as a speaker is about more than nailing your performance—it's about persistence, honesty, and the courage to start before you feel ready.

If you're waiting until everything is perfect before you step forward, Chase's story proves that consistent action is what moves you from dreaming to doing.

Heather boldly explores the idea that our true story isn't found in the circumstances we face, but rather in how we respond to them. We dive into themes from her powerful book, What If I'm Wrong?, discussing how passion is not about acclaim or abundance but about faithful presence even in uncertainty and failure. Together, we uncover how deeply God's faithfulness and presence are intertwined in our stories—especially when life doesn't go according to our plans. Heather's wisdom and authenticity offer a refreshing invitation to live with courage and purpose, even when we're navigating doubts and difficulties.

What happens when a lifetime of political loyalty no longer feels like enough? Deborah Burgess, scholar and education leader, takes us on a deeply personal journey from dedicated Democrat to politically unaffiliated voter during one of America's most turbulent political eras.The decision didn't come easily. After returning from six years in China where she helped build educational opportunities for children with disabilities, Deborah committed herself to Democratic Party activism. She worked tirelessly as a volunteer, house district captain, and eventually secretary, believing in the power of civic engagement. But something changed after watching how Democrats responded—or failed to respond—to aggressive political tactics from the right."Democrats are too quiet," Deborah explains with characteristic frankness. "They sit back and let stuff fly." Drawing on her background as a judo champion, she compares the current political climate to a match where "Democrats are getting choked and they're not fighting." This observation comes from someone who's seen the political landscape from multiple angles and continents.Our conversation explores the realities of voter suppression targeting Black and Brown communities, the alarming parallels between America's current situation and Hungary under Viktor Orbán, and the rise of Christian nationalism. We discuss how traditional Democratic messaging fails to resonate with younger generations and the importance of staying politically engaged even when party affiliation no longer feels right.Deborah offers practical action items for concerned citizens: familiarize yourself with the Constitution, diversify your information sources, watch corporate media critically, and engage at the local level. Most importantly, she urges listeners to think independently and draw their own conclusions rather than accepting singular narratives.Ready to rethink what political engagement means in today's America? Listen now, and join us for future conversations with Debra about DEI misconceptions and why more African Americans are considering leaving the US.
