Everybody sees the TEDx, the book deals, the stages, the flights, the millions of downloads… But nobody sees the unsexy stuff that actually built my personal brand. In this episode, I'm breaking down the boring, uncomfortable, behind-the-scenes discipline that made my brand trusted, global, profitable, and unforgettable. This is the truth no one glamorises, but everyone who wins does. Here's what we get into: • Why personal branding is a long game, not a “go viral this year” game • The consistency and self-leadership required when life gets messy • Showing up even when your mood says otherwise • Turning your quirks and edges into your secret sauce • Why paying for proximity changed everything • How doing things for free (strategically) accelerates your growth • The unglamorous sacrifices behind every “glam moment” • Why details matter more than you think By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly why your brand isn't where you want it yet, and what it will really take to build something iconic and unforgettable. This is the work most people skip — which is why most people never get there. If this landed, DM me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence and tell me your biggest takeaway. And if you are SERIOUS about blowing up your personal brand in 2026 final applications for the Queens Table cohort are open: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/

Quick question. You're born with your sexuality, and it stays the same your whole life... right? Well, no. This may be much further from the truth than initially thought. When I first watched Dr. Lisa Diamond's TEDx talk on sexual fluidity, which began with a question very similar to mine, I immediately knew I wanted to interview her. Diamond is a psychologist and professor at the University of Utah whose groundbreaking research challenges the “born this way” narrative that has dominated LGBTQ rights discourse for decades. It might surprise you, as it surprised me, to learn that the “born that way” argument is outdated and scientifically inaccurate. However, Diamond's research on sexual fluidity offers us a more sophisticated understanding of human sexual development. As a graduate student, Diamond had unearthed something that surprised many people when her book, Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire, was published in 2008. This is an utterly fascintating discussion that invited us to step out of the black & white, all or nothing ideology to embrace the neuroscience of neuroplasticity. We also discuss Folks on the Autism Spectrum who many naturally identify as bi-sexual, non-binary, or asexual. Diamond is brilliant and knows her social psychology research as well.

• Do you ever feel so burdened, overwhelmed, or stressed that hope feels out of reach? And do you wonder how to help your teens hold onto hope when life feels heavy—for them and for you? Summary Paragraph: In this inspiring conversation, psychologist, author, and speaker Dr. Julia Garcia shares why hope isn't something you passively wait for—it's something you practice, one emotional habit at a time. Drawing from behavioral science, storytelling, and her own lived experience, Dr. Garcia reveals the five habits that help us navigate difficult emotions, interrupt cycles of overwhelm, and reconnect with a grounded sense of worth and possibility. She speaks directly to the silent struggles so many moms carry—the shame, pressure, worry, and emotional load that can eclipse hope—and offers a compassionate, practical roadmap for finding your way back to yourself. This episode will help you cultivate hope in your own life and model it for your teens, young adults, and entire family. Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, author, and internationally recognized speaker dedicated to empowering people through the science of mental health and emotional wellbeing. For nearly twenty years, she has helped educators, students, business leaders, families, and individuals navigate fear, doubt, burnout, and hopelessness by building sustainable habits of healing. Her book, The Five Habits of Hope, blends neuroscience, emotional practice, and real-life stories from people around the world to show that hope is not merely a feeling—it's a daily discipline. Whether through her TEDx talks, interactive workshops, or national presentations, Dr. Garcia's mission is to make the tools of hope accessible for everyone. Three Takeaways for Moms of Teens and Young Adults 1. Hope is a Practice, Not a Personality Trait You don't have to feel hopeful to begin cultivating hope. Each of the five habits—reflection, risk-taking, release, receiving, and repurposing—creates a pathway back to emotional regulation, self-worth, and grounded optimism. 2. Your Feelings Don't Make You Weak—They Make You Real Emotions leads to overwhelm, burnout, and disconnection. Naming what you're struggling with, taking emotional risks, and receiving support strengthens your resilience and helps your teen see that emotional honesty is part of wellbeing. 3. Your Kids Need to See Who You Are, Not Just What You Do When your teens witness you engaging in passion, joy, creativity, rest, advocacy, and purpose—not just managing logistics and meeting expectations. Repurposing your emotions into something meaningful teaches them that hard things can lead to beautiful outcomes.

When most people hear the word policy, they immediately picture Washington, D.C., marble hallways, and people in suits arguing on TV.

She's spent decades working at the national level and then chose to move back to the “ground floor” of change—state and local work—where impact shows up fast and in real lives.Debbie and I talk about:Why most experts accidentally sabotage their own influenceHer 4E Framework for better decision-makingHow to translate complex, jargon-heavy research into something the public—and policymakers—actually understandWhy state and local advocacy can be even more powerful than federal workHow to work with people who disagree with youA surprising turn into AI—and how Debbie used my Automate & Amplify program to keep her content going while traveling the worldThis conversation is a powerful reminder that your voice matters, especially when you pair your expertise with a compelling story and a clear message.About My Guest: Dr. Deborah Stine is the founder of the Science and Technology Policy Academy, where she helps scientists, engineers, and health professionals translate what they know into policies that improve people's lives.

You Cheated. You're Not a Monster. Here's How to Understand Yourself and Become the Man You Meant to Be. You're not a monster because you cheated— you are a hurting human who never learned how to feel, name, and heal what's going on inside. And understanding that and forgiving yourself is the key to rebuilding trust, whether you stay together or not. This episode is a love letter—and a challenge—to the betrayer. Whether you're the one who cheated or you're the partner trying to understand how the person you love could hurt you so deeply, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's really going on inside the betraying partner. Lora shares honest, vulnerable insights from walking beside her husband through his infidelity, exploring why most men genuinely don't know why they cheated, how shame and unresolved boyhood wounds fuel destructive coping, and what it actually takes to become trustworthy again. You'll learn how to move from “I'm a monster” to “I made a devastating mistake—and I'm willing to change,” so both of you can stop walking on eggshells and start moving toward clarity, accountability, and healing. Top 3 Takeaways Why “I don't know why I did it” is often true—just not the whole truth. Most betrayers genuinely don't know the root cause of their cheating because they were never taught to identify or communicate their emotions. Until they can name what they're feeling—rejection, shame, emasculation, grief—cheating will continue to be a maladaptive coping mechanism, not a “character flaw problem” to shame away. Your actions don't define your core—but your accountability does. There's a profound difference between being a cheater and having cheated. Lora breaks down how to step out of the “cheater” identity and back into integrity through nervous system regulation, consistent follow-through (“do what you say you'll do”), and small, repeated acts of honor that show you're becoming truly trustworthy again. Healing requires feeling it all—without fleeing, fixing, or deflecting. From the sticky note that said “Feel it all” to simple somatic practices like standing in your integrity, brushing off old attachments, and speaking from your gut instead of your head, you'll learn concrete ways to sit with your own shame, regret, and pain and hold space for your partner's rage and grief—without collapsing, defending, or running away.

Join us for an informative discussion with John De Goey, a professional portfolio manager, published author, and dedicated advocate for financial consumers. John shares his journey into finance, which was fueled by a desire to challenge the "amoral" practices of the financial services industry and protect consumers from misleading information. This advocacy is the foundation of his work and his books, including his latest, Bullshift: How Optimism Bias Threatens Your Finances. We discuss the core problem: both advisors and investors often fall victim to cognitive biases, believing things "for sure that just ain't so". John explains that the industry benefits from keeping clients "bullish," leading people to ignore high debt, expensive markets, and other warning signs. To combat this, he champions Decision Hygiene—the active process of challenging your own assumptions and priors, rather than seeking out information that confirms what you already believe (confirmation bias). He shares why he transitioned to discretionary portfolio management to prevent clients' emotions from derailing sound investment plans, demonstrating that sometimes, letting a fiduciary make unemotional decisions is the best way to secure a client's wealth. An empowered human, John concludes, is simply one who is self-aware and makes choices based on truth, not just self-interest.

In this episode of The Determined Society, Shawn French sits down with Kwame Christian, a bestselling author, attorney, corporate negotiation consultant, TEDx speaker, and host of Negotiate Anything, the #1 negotiation podcast in the world.Kwame breaks down the real meaning of determination: making an agreement with yourself and keeping the promise, even when fear, conflict, or discomfort stand in the way.But this conversation goes far beyond traditional negotiation. It dives into the psychology of people-pleasing, childhood conditioning, internal self-talk, emotional regulation, boundaries, and what keeps so many of us from speaking up for ourselves.Kwame shares the origin of his compassionate curiosity framework, a simple but transformative method for navigating conflict without anger, defensiveness, or emotional shutdown. Key Takeaways-Determination is keeping the promises you make to yourself, even when it's hard.-Most people fear tough conversations because of childhood conditioning or people-pleasing habits.-Conflict becomes easier when you use Compassionate Curiosity: regulate emotions, ask better questions, and approach the problem together.-You can win an argument and lose the relationship. Focus on connection, not domination.-Discipline grows when you celebrate the pride of honoring your commitments.-Mastery comes from deliberate practice. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAKwame Christianhttps://www.instagram.com/kwamenegotiates/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this inspiring and deeply authentic episode, Mitch sits down with someone he recently shared the TEDx stage with - Dr. Angela Walker Franklin. Dr. Franklin is the President and CEO of Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences, and not only is she the first woman and first person of color to hold that role in the university's 125+ year history… she's also a licensed clinical psychologist, a published author, and a powerful voice for leading with empathy, courage, and clarity. They dive into her unique upbringing in a small South Carolina town - where her family ran a funeral home - and how that shaped her perspective on life, leadership, and compassion. You'll hear how her father made a bold, sacrificial pivot from medical school to embalming school to support the family's legacy… and how Dr. Franklin has brought that same spirit of service and innovation into her work today. They also explore the origins of her impactful TEDx talk, "How to Call Out the Elephant in the Room," and how she brought this strategy into leadership meetings, creating a safe space for honest dialogue and collaboration. This episode is filled with laughter, heartfelt stories, and powerful strategies for anyone looking to lead well, connect deeply, and navigate hard conversations with grace. Let's go!

Why does happiness always feel one step away? In this episode, we welcome back positive psychology expert Jodi Wellman to explore why so many of us keep “moving the goalposts” on our own success, and learn why accomplishments that once thrilled us eventually feel ordinary. Jodi breaks down why we convince ourselves that one more thing — a new job, a relationship, a move, a big purchase — will finally deliver lasting happiness. Using Gabe's own podcasting journey as a case study, the conversation exposes a mental trap familiar to anyone who's ever felt like their wins “don't count” for long. But this episode isn't just about naming the problem — it's about fixing it. Jodi offers practical, research-backed strategies to help you savor your accomplishments, find a healthier balance between ambition and contentment, and stop letting your inner critic erase your progress. Listener takeaways why humans believe they're always “one thing away” from feeling fulfilled what the hedonic treadmill is and how it sabotages our happiness how to balance ambition with genuine joy so you can grow without feeling miserable If you've ever wondered, “Why don't I feel successful?” this is the episode that can finally help you understand. “We like to dupe ourselves. It's just one of the features of our psychology. It all comes down to this idea called the hedonic treadmill. We think, and we go for it. We'll buy the pill, we'll make the move, we'll take the job, we'll buy the car, we'll do a thing. And usually it's external stuff, but sometimes it's internal, like, I will become the person that I've been meant to be and that will make me happy. But then, because we adapt so well, this is this hedonic adaptation, hedonic treadmill, we adapt so reliably, damn it. And we end up, over time, some of us shorter than others. Naturally, meh. Okay, well, how come it's not doing it for me anymore?” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living. She founded Four Thousand Mondays to help people make the most of the time they are lucky to be above ground.  With 25 years of corporate leadership experience (most recently as Senior Vice President of Operations at a leading health and lifestyle organization), Jodi has led private CEO advisory boards and coaches teams to work well and live even better.

In this Episode: Slow Down to Go Faster with Ralph Simone Episode Summary: In this episode, Mark and Theron sit down with Ralph Simone, a founding partner of Emergent and a veteran in leadership and organizational development with over 40 years of experience. Ralph breaks down his definition of leadership, "influencing and inspiring purposeful action" and discusses why the most effective way to speed up your results is actually to slow down your process. From the martial arts wisdom of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee to practical habits for "Success Planning," Ralph shares actionable strategies to help you live and lead with intention. Key Takeaways: The Definition of Leadership: Why leadership isn't just about authority, but about the ability to influence purposeful action and remain open to learning. Vulnerability is Strength: Why the best leaders (and coaching clients) are those willing to say "I don't know" and be vulnerable enough to learn. Success Planning: Ralph's 35-year habit of weekly planning to move from being "reactive" to "proactive." Read for Application, Not Completion: A unique approach to reading books where you stop once you find an actionable idea, rather than grinding to the end of the book. The "Slow Down to Go Faster" Philosophy: The story of how advice from Chuck Norris to Bruce Lee inspired Ralph's book title, and how strategic pauses can skyrocket your productivity. 3 Immediate Actions: Create "White Space": Stop scheduling back-to-back meetings. Build in 5–10-minute buffers to breathe, reset, and set an intention for the next task. Audit Your Learning Style: Determine if you are a reader, a listener, or a doer, and curate your education (books vs. podcasts vs. travel) to match that style. The Weekly Success Plan: Dedicate time on the weekend to map out your "Big Rocks" for the next 2-3 weeks, rather than just filling your schedule with immediate tasks.

What does it take to turn a life of chaos into one of purpose and impact? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Andre Norman, author, speaker, and transformational leader whose journey from maximum-security prison to Harvard University is nothing short of extraordinary. Andre opens up about the pivotal moments that changed his trajectory, from leading a prison gang to realizing he was built for something greater. He shares how education, faith, and the right mentors helped him rebuild his mindset and redirect his drive toward helping others do the same. Throughout the conversation, Andre and Darius explore the real meaning of redemption, why self-awareness is key to change, and how people can break free from their environments, no matter how deep the hole seems.

Exhausted from late diagnosed autism masking as an adult? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats with Wendela Whitcomb Marsh (Dr. Wendy), award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and US Autism Association board member, on neurodivergent self-acceptance, workplace accommodations, and advocacy for high-masking autistic adults—especially women/girls/trans/ND folks. After 40 years in special ed/psychology, Dr. Wendy founded (and sold) Adult Autism Assessment & Services, drawing from her autistic family (late husband + 2/3 adult kids). Her Adulting While Autistic series (Independent Living, Dating, Relating, Parenting, Working While Autistic) and SWAN Church (Scripture & Worship for All Neurotypes) empower underserved voices. Key insights: Adult vs. child autism: Masking hides symptoms (e.g., routines for eye contact/socializing); exhaustion from "faking normal." Late-dx challenges: Women/trans/non-binary often missed (3-6x overlap with autism); bullying/shame leads to self-doubt. Workplace/family support: Frame needs as productivity wins (e.g., noise-canceling headphones/WFH); believe autistic voices—no "faking." Clinician tips: Read autistic authors, seek ND-affirming pros; self-ID valid if no paper needed (for disability/accommodations). Advocacy ahead: Boa constrictor squeeze (hard times)—stay safe, speak out; churches need inclusivity (SWAN as model). For autistic young adults unmasking or parents advocating, Dr. Wendy's optimism shines: "Nothing wrong with you—world's not built for you."

Renaissance Man Thomas Harriot was noted for many things - devising the theory of refraction, creating mathematical symbols including ‘greater than' and ‘lesser than', and being the first person to draw the Moon through a telescope. But the contribution for which he's most remembered is bringing back the potato to Britain - an event commonly credited to 3rd December, 1586. On first spotting the vegetable on Roanoke Island, he wrote: ‘They are a kind of roots of round form, some of the bigness of walnuts, some far greater, which are found in moist & marish grounds growing many together one by another in ropes, or as though they were fastened with a string. Being boiled or sodden they are very good meate.' In this episode, Arion, Olly and Rebecca ask what a ‘versifier' is; come up with a new name for Accountancy; and discover the bizarre means by which Antoine-Augustin Parmentier popularised spuds in France… Further Reading: • ‘The history of the potato: The humble vegetable that changed the world' (Sky HISTORY): https://www.history.co.uk/articles/the-history-of-the-potato-the-humble-vegetable-that-changed-the-world • ‘Thomas Harriot (1560 - 1621) - Biography' (MacTutor History of Mathematics, St Andrews University): https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Harriot/ • ‘History through the eyes of the potato' (Leo Bear-McGuinness, TEDx 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xROmDsULcLE This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?

Guy Kawasaki has had an amazing life and career.  After growing up in Hawaii, he went to California for college and later went on to what was then known as Apple Computer where he was a self-described "brand evangelist" during some of their highest growth and most entrepreneurial years.  He describes Steve Jobs as being optimistic almost to the point of being delusional, and working for him has inspired Guy to be interested in mold-breaking people ever since, hence the name of his popular podcast, Remarkable People. He has also written 17 books on a variety of subjects, his latest being Wiser Guy, which was released earlier this year.    Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Blue Sky  Bill Burke introduces Guy Kawasaki as a remarkable guest on Blue Sky, highlighting Guy's background as chief evangelist at Apple and Canva, and his extensive writing. Guy shares his preference for being a podcast guest due to less prep work, contrasting with the host's five-hour preparation time.  03:10 From Hawaii to Stanford  Guy recounts his childhood in Kalihi Valley, a lower-middle-income part of Hawaii, and how a public school teacher's advice led him to a private school, then Stanford. He describes feeling immediately at home at Stanford in 1972, despite it being pre-tech, and the campus's amazing atmosphere.  06:17 Apple, Steve Jobs & the 1984 Ad  Guy discusses his two stints at Apple, particularly his time in the Macintosh division under Steve Jobs from 1983 to 1987. He reveals the Macintosh team's mission to preserve democracy and freedom through computing and shares the behind-the-scenes story of the iconic 1984 Super Bowl ad, which the board initially wanted to pull.  11:49 Evangelizing Apple & Sales Skills  Guy details how Apple evangelized its new operating system in the 1980s through fervor rather than just money, contrasting with the corporate image of IBM. He also shares his 'checkered past' of dropping out of medical, dental, and law school, leading him to an MBA and invaluable sales experience in the jewelry business, which he considers essential.  17:02 Steve Jobs: Visionary & Demanding  Guy describes working for Steve Jobs as the most formative experience of his career, calling Jobs a visionary and passionate, albeit demanding and intimidating, leader. He emphasizes that Jobs was a 'mission-driven egoist' who cared only about making the best computer, disregarding personal biases like race or gender.  23:01 Remarkable People Podcast Origins  Guy explains his decision to start the 'Remarkable People' podcast, initially inspired by the lucrative ad model of another podcaster, and his realization that his access to remarkable individuals and business experience uniquely positioned him. He highlights the strategic advantage of having prominent guests like Jane Goodall to attract others.  30:08 Jane Goodall: A Source of Hope  Guy recounts his personal connection to Jane Goodall, stemming from a TEDx interview, and how she became his first podcast guest. He describes her as the most remarkable person he's interviewed, embodying hope and tireless dedication to her cause, even declining a rest offer at 90 due to 'too much to do.'  36:30 Optimism as a Strategic Advantage  Guy discusses optimism as a strategic advantage, asserting that it's crucial for achieving anything significant, combining realism with the belief that challenges can be overcome. He shares his experiences of taking up ice hockey at 44 and surfing at 60, attributing it to a 'growth mindset' and the belief that one is never too old to learn new things. 

In this deeply meaningful episode of The End in Mind, I'm joined by Marla Mervis-Hartmann — bestselling author of Be-Friend Yourself, TEDx speaker, Reiki Master, and the creator of Love Your Body Love Yourself.Marla is known for her compassionate and intuitive approach to healing emotional eating, body shame, and the deeper wounds that keep so many people stuck in cycles of control, restriction, obsession, or disconnection. Her work goes far beyond food — it's about coming home to yourself.Together, we explore:- What emotional eating really is (and what it's not)- How food can become a coping mechanism for grounding, avoiding, or bypassing deeper emotions- The difference between “dieting” and true nourishment- How spiritual connection plays a role in healing body image- Why so many high-achieving entrepreneurs get stuck in loops of “overthinking, overworking, and overeating”- How childhood environments shape our relationship with food and our bodies- Why getting into your body (not just your mind) is essential for healing- How to rebuild trust with food, your body, and yourself- Practical tools for moving through overwhelm without abandoning yourself- What to do when healing uncovers a “void” or identity gap — and how to fill it with self-love rather than old patternsThis conversation is filled with wisdom, grounded spirituality, and gentle reminders that we don't heal through force — we heal through safety, compassion, and connection.Connect with Marla & Explore Her Work:- Her Book: Be-Friend Yourself: https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/book- Free Gift — Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating: https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating- Website: www.LoveYourBodyLoveYourself.com- TEDx Talk: The Secret Ingredient of Feeling Good in Your Body: https://youtu.be/nEVjlT9B6dU?si=0--OdXuS_qTEi1X9- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/marlamervis- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfhttps://www.facebook.com/marla.mervis*Loved this episode?*Send me a DM on Instagram @meraki_media_management — I'd love to hear your reflections, your story, or what resonated most.

This week, Helen and Sarah revisit insights from three podcast guests—Amy Gallo, Celeste Headlee, and Dr. Sunita Sah—to tackle a topic many of us shy away from: difficult conversations.From team conflicts and moments of defensiveness to speaking up when something feels off, these everyday challenges can shape how we collaborate, grow, and thrive.In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies to handle tension with ease: turning irritation into curiosity, using affirmations to stay grounded, and recognising the early “tension signals” that signal it's time to speak up. You'll learn how to navigate disagreements without defensiveness, communicate with confidence, and act in alignment with your values—even when it's uncomfortable.Episode 516

As we settle into the darkest stretch of the year (at least here in the Western hemisphere), my intention is to bring you the most light-filled conversations throughout December — the kind that help you remember your own eternal, sacred inner flame. ✨

Today I'm talking with Jason Reid about one of the hardest parts of parenting: having real, honest conversations with our kids about the things nobody wants to bring up. The messy things. The scary things. The things we hope aren't happening—but often are. Jason shares his family's story of losing his 14-year-old son to suicide, and the gained wisdom he's sharing with all of us. He reveals the number one mistake we simply cannot afford to make as parents, and how small shifts in our conversations can genuinely protect our kids. This isn't an episode about fear—it's about clarity, courage, and the kind of connection that makes all the difference. We talk about how to support our kids through their struggles without pretending we have it all together, and how to keep it real with our own emotions in the process. If you're wanting practical, compassionate guidance for navigating hard conversations, strengthening trust, and being a safe place for your teen when life gets heavy, this episode will meet you right where you are.   About my guest:  Jason Reid is a partner at CEO International, where he coaches CEOs on how to be successful. He co-founded National Services Group, which employs 2500 people across three brands nationwide. He is a leader, entrepreneur, and family man. Following the loss of his 14-year-old son to suicide in 2018, Jason started the foundation TellMyStory.org, a nonprofit organization built to educate and empower parents by sharing the best and latest resources they need to identify and understand how to support their children's mental health struggles. Through its sister organization, Mental Wellness Media, it helps generate awareness through powerful media projects that compels parents and kids to better communicate and share their stories. Jason has shared his experience in two TEDx talks, the documentary films Tell My Story, What I Wish My Parents Knew and Tell My Story's other educational programs.

Worried that giving the same talk more than once would box you in - or worse, bore you to tears?I've been there. And if you're a builder-of-slides-at-heart like me, the idea of sticking to one signature talk can feel a little… constraining.But here's the truth: the talk you give again (and again and again) is the one that becomes unforgettable - for you and your audience.In this episode, I'm joined by Thought Leader Academy graduate Kelly Mallery, who proves exactly that. Kelly works in the continuous improvement and lean space, and she discovered that honing one powerful talk didn't limit her creativity, it amplified it. And it opened doors.We talk about how she's evolved her talk, why a transformer toy has become part of her on-stage brand (yes, really), and how she learned to adapt the same content for both 20-minute and 60-minute speaking slots without losing impact.Whether you're speaking to industry peers, corporate audiences, or groups who've never heard of your topic before, what Kelly shares will help you rethink how reusable and scalable your signature talk can be.Kelly and I talk about:Why one signature talk can actually increase your impact, confidence, and clarityHow Kelly transformed her message by introducing her “Resistobots” (inspired by her love of Transformers)The power of refining the same talk through multiple deliveriesWhat changes—and what stays the same—when adapting a talk from 20 minutes to 60 minutesHow your ideal audience and your buyer can be two different people, and why it mattersThe importance of opening strong and closing with purpose (no rushing just to “get to the content”!)Why props, stories, and frameworks make your message stick—and lead to more speaking invitesLinks:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/453/ Kelly's website: https://www.kellymallery.com/ Watch Kelly deliver a 10-minute version of her signature talk = https://www.youtube.com/live/4ytvyFXfGU0?si=BH8Z-8qt8Npt2XWuDiscover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxKelly Mallery (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-mallery-coaching/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 345: Elevate Your Audience Engagement Skills with These Proven Strategies with Katie AndersonEpisode 355: What a Signature Talk Is and What It Should be Doing for YouEpisode 354: Finding and Developing Your Big I.D.E.A.Episode 440: No Need to Start from Scratch: Repurpose Your Signature Talk for Different Topics and Audiences
