If you've ever dreamt of becoming a TEDx speaker, Cathlyn provides incredible insights and tips for how to do it, so definitely listen into our conversation.After getting her degree in theater, Cathlyn worked for over a decade as an actor and director when she launched her first business as a copywriter. After delivering a TEDx talk, she found herself being sought by other aspiring TEDx speakers wanting her to help them do the same.

Looking back, the skills that Cathlyn used as an actor are the same ones she leverages as a copywriter and TEDx coach. Her ability to put herself in someone else's shoes, take on other people's voices, and be a conduit for telling other people's stories are what have helped guide her in her business.Cathlyn shares that while becoming a TEDx speaker will likely not make you the next Brene Brown, doing so can bring you exposure and build connections that open up new opportunities. That said, she emphasizes that to be successful getting onto the TEDx stage, it's important to understand and respect the TEDx brand and what their mission is, which is having an idea worth spreading. If you've ever wanted to be featured on the TEDx stage, Cathlyn gives some great insights and tips to help you prepare.

Can creating a connection happen on a whim? It may not work out that way at all. Preparation is still key. In this episode, Denis and Peter tackle the importance of storytelling and establishing a connection by using the right words, tones, and approach to effectively convey our message. Peter Hopwood is a British Global Speaker Coach, Virtual Speaking Specialist & TEDx Coach, Storytelling for Sales Trainer, Worldwide Corporate Events MC & Speaker - lived in 7 countries, worked in 42, currently based in Split, Croatia - working worldwide on Zoom! Tune in as Denis and Peter discuss the impact of storytelling as leaders navigate their way to success and better positioning. In this episode: Peter discusses how he got into leadership and communication, his work as a speaker coach, and how leaders can connect with their audiences. Being animated and having gestures helps to show that you are more confident and in control. The way we speak and how we look will influence the way that people think about us. Peter emphasizes the importance of spontaneity in audio productions, which can be difficult to achieve with recorded messages. Curiosity is a key ingredient for a successful relationship with someone. When we are curious about someone, we are more likely to connect with them and feel comfortable around them. Leaders should use storytelling to engage their audiences and communicate their messages more effectively. Stories are an important way to connect with others, build credibility, and strengthen the connection between people. Good connectors are aware of their surroundings and manage to connect with others through body language, facial expressions, and other signals. Key Takeaways: Take advantage of gestures when speaking to provide emphasis How you present yourself matters in people's minds Remain spontaneous even when doing recordings Stay curious and authentic when communicating with others Leaders should utilize the power of storytelling for effective communication Tweetable Quotes: “It [effective speaking] is about the signals that you share, making sure that things are moving, there's something changing, there's something that's going to stimulate the brain… Anything predictable is not good.” - Peter Hopwood “When we know our intention, it's so much easier to share it.” - Peter Hopwood “It [creating connection] is something that we do constantly every day. So, why not say to ourselves, ‘I'm going to get really good at this. I can practice this every day.' “ - Peter Hopwood Connect with Peter onhttps://www.facebook.com/hermann.simon.50 ( )https://www.instagram.com/peterhopwood/ (Instagram) andhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/peterhopwoodpublicspeaking/ ( LinkedIn), follow him on https://twitter.com/HopwoodMedia (Twitter), and check out hishttp://peter-hopwood.com/ ( website).

I remember in those early days when you're called to run a workshop, or moderate a panel conversation, you feel like you need to do things "by the book". I remember my panel interviews being very pedestrian! Now I think (I hope) I've developed more confidence, and I'm willing to create some banter between panellists, and let some personality shine through.In today's episode, my guest Peter Hopwood and I also banter on presentation, panel and moderation tips.Peter is a British Global Speaker Coach, Virtual Speaking Specialist & TEDx Coach, Media Skills Trainer, Worldwide Events MC & Speaker.He has lived in 7 countries (jealous), worked in 32 (even more jealous) and is currently based in Croatia, working worldwide on Zoom.He is a communicator, confidence-booster & connector, travelling the world (virtually) to help professionals define, craft and deliver stronger stories and take control of their messages, storyline & speaking impact.In this chat, Peter also shares how you can keep any repeat sessions you deliver, feeling fresh (even if you've delivered it a million times!), how you can communicate more strongly on virtual calls, and tips for moderating panel conversations.Resources mentioned in the show:Peter's websiteConnect with Peter on TwitterFollow Peter on InstagramSend Peter an email: hello(at)peter-hopwood.comSupport the show (https://buymeacoffee.com/leannehughes)Shhh...

He shared with us what has changed during the past year, and how we had to move to the Internet and platforms like Zoom, in order to keep our lives and businesses going. The whole dynamic in our relationships had to change and how we have to adapt to new normal, and new ways of gaining trust and developing our relationships. He also made a point on how some things are universal, like perception and emotions and how it doesn't matter where you come from, some things, like how we see ourselves are the same. He also shared with us what are the differences between male and female clients, in regard to openness to listening and learning. In the end, he shared with us his plans for the future and how things are slowly returning to normal.

Michael Davis Michael Davis passion for storytelling and public speaking was not obvious early in his life. As a child, he was shy and reserved – not an indication he’d grow up to be a professional speaker and public speaking coach. As a new financial planner, his seminars were poorly delivered. He was given an ultimatum – “Become a better presenter.... or ELSE!!” Because of that threat, he joined Toastmasters International in 1994. There he quickly discovered a passion for the art of public speaking. He learned that crafting and delivering impactful presentations is a learnable, repeatable skill. He also realized that he had a gift to help others improve these skills. That inspired him to start the company Speaking CPR. His business is focused on working with professionals to improve their confidence, communication, leadership and selling through improved speaking, presentation and business storytelling skills. Michael has worked with both individuals and company teams to master these abilities and increase their bottom lines. Past clients include: General Electric - Johnson & Johnson - The Ohio Association of Community Health Centers - The Greater Cincinnati Human Resource Association - Kroger He also works closely with speakers in the Ted X Cincinnati event, and has successfully coached competitors in the World Championship of Public Speaking. He is a contributing author to three public speaking books, and is the author of ‘THE Book on Storytelling’ and the Kindle book series ‘Sell More With Stories.’ He has been featured on podcasts like: ‘The Business of Story,’ ‘Speaker Match Radio,’ and ‘Speaking of Wealth.’ Michael is a candidate member of the National Speakers Association (Kentucky Chapter) and a member of Toastmasters International.

I'm so glad you're here with me and so grateful that you spend the time to listen to what I bring to you because you'll get so much out of it over time. Every one of these guests is stellar in their field of business and that's why it's so much fun for me to interview them and it's so much fun for you to learn and change your business, your life, your finances, and particularly your sales. Let's talk a little bit about speaking and getting your mission out there. What is it that you want to share with everybody in the world? I know that you have a message that's so important and many people, many entrepreneurs come to me and say, "I want to do a Ted talk. Have you done a Ted talk? I want to find out how to go about doing that." Or, "I want to know how to put a speech together. I can't quite figure out how to put the best speech together. And I seem to get all tangled up in my words." Or another thing they tell me is, "I'm just scared to death. I don't know if I can do a speech. I don't know if I could stand on a stage. I don't know if I can do it at all. I'm absolutely terrified." And let me tell you, I was in that space in my life. I used to be extremely shy. Can you believe that? I was so shy and I never knew what to say in front of a group. Have you ever had that experience? I would just turn inside out and then one day this cowboy, and I mean really a cowboy. He was an older guy. He came up to me and he said, "You know, I think you have a huge mission and I think you should begin to share it." And I thought, how does this guy even know me? He came out of nowhere and he says, I have a huge mission. How does he even know? I don't even know what my mission is yet. Because at that time I certainly didn't. And I said, "What makes you think I need to go to Toastmasters?" He says, "I can tell you've always been afraid to speak in front of a group." And I said, "That's absolutely true." He said, "When did that start in for you?" And I told him it started when I was a tiny little child and I had to dance on stage, as a snowman, and I couldn't remember the steps. And from that point on I was scared to death to be on stage. Have you ever had an experience like that? You were even speaking in a small group and somebody tore you down or didn't like what you had to say and then suddenly you realize, Oh, well maybe my opinion isn't worth while. Well we all have something important to say to those who resonate with us here on earth. And I think that if you go to Toastmasters, like I did, that's just a stepping stone. Let me tell you. I mean, you can stay in it forever and get leadership skills and all kinds of really wonderful things. It's a tremendous package for so very little and it gets you beyond those fears. It worked for me. So I'll suggest it to you and if you do go to Toastmasters, or start looking for a group, try two or three. Don't just go to one and join because you want to go to one that resonates with you or that is a group of people in your target market for your business, or maybe they're all working toward a common goal. And some speak Chinese and some speak Spanish and some are in corporations. If you want to work with your business in corporations, I'd suggest you go to a corporation that has a Toastmasters. Outsiders can do it as well as insiders. If you don't have any interest in a corporation, then don't go there. Go where you feel the most comfortable. But let's get back to our guest today. Our guest is all about TedX talks and Ted talks and teaching how to put yourself in the bright light. Now, this gentleman is really amazing. He is an unapologetic speaker, author, leadership, TedX, and influencer coach. He's the founder of Unapologetic Enterprises. Boy, don't you love that name? And the creator of the Speaker of Mastermind Experience At Sea. As a long time theater producer, educator, and visionary leader, he's been on a mission to empower high achievers to discover, develop, and deliver powerful missions. Exactly what I'm talking to you about today. He wants you to create a powerful message or an idea worth spreading around the world. His philanthropic endeavor, Project UNX, dares to tackle bullying and build confidence and self esteem while funding dream projects for high school performing arts students and teachers. This gentleman provides an unapologetic approach that has made him the go to creative expert for on purpose executives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who want to become unstoppable global leaders. So let's welcome Davide Di Giorgio to the show. Davide, I am so excited to have you on the show because you have so much phenomenal information to share.Davide: Hello. I'm so thrilled to be here with you Shirlene. Thanks so much for the invite.Shirlene: Oh, you are certainly welcome. It's my pleasure. You are so good with speakers and getting them out there. What do you find is the biggest challenge that you have with those who do want to start speaking?Davide: Oh, that's a great question. The biggest challenge, I was having a conversation about this earlier today actually. People don't understand that if you want to actually speak, you have to speak. And the interesting part is to shift the mentality from this whole idea of public speaking to it's just speaking. You are being intentional as a speaker and you've arrived into this world as a speaker. And now when you've decided, okay, I want to speak from a stage, or I have a message that I want to share. It's just getting intentional about what you're saying and starting to package your thoughts in a way so that people respond and react the way that you want them to. Or so that you're delivering your vision to the world in a very specific way. So I think the thing that really stops people is that they don't, they don't realize that becoming a speaker isn't about sitting at your computer and trying to figure out what your keynote is going to look like or sitting and writing it out. Speaking is about going out there and speaking. And you know what, just like anything else in this world, it might not be so great when you start. And that's okay. But the more you start speaking, and even if you're speaking one on one, but in your mind you're like, okay, I'm going to be intentional with what I'm saying here and delivering an idea and a message. As you start speaking, things start to formulate and you start to realize how to deliver a message in a way that is very compelling. You pay attention to how people respond and react to you. And you start to repeat things that work and you get more confidence. And so really, like I said, the biggest thing that people don't do is they don't just go out and put themselves out there and just speak to networking events, small groups. Host a little event in your own home, even. Have some friends over and say, "Hey, I wanna, you know, I want to present something for 10, 15, 20 minutes even.Shirlene: That's a really good idea. Inviting people to your home because if you're trying it on. I love to talk to people about trying it on. Don't worry about making mistakes, but particularly if you invite people to your home and they happen to be your friends, then they'll give you some really positive feedback. Isn't that right?Davide: Absolutely. Now, here's the one warning that I give all speakers and especially when it's people who are closer to you, family and close friends. Be careful what you ask for. Feedback, when you ask people for feedback, just like that can be dangerous because everybody has an opinion. And oftentimes that opinion is not expert on speaking. However, if you ask people, look, I'm working on becoming a speaker and I want to be more intentional and I want to start sharing this message out there, here's what I want you to tell me after I'm done. What did you understand? What didn't you understand, or where did I lose you, and what would you love more of? And then what you're doing is giving your audience an opportunity to give feedback like, "Oh, I didn't get this part in your story or information. Could you explain a little bit more of that?" Which gives you information that maybe you need to add a little more. Or they'll say, "Oh, I love the part where you shared this story. I want to know more of the story." There you go. You got information about like, okay, I need to expand on that area. Right? So it's very specific feedback rather than I didn't get it, or I didn't really understand or I didn't like that, or I think you should like turn this way when you're speaking. All of that starts to get very subjective, right? But you want to be very clear with the kind of feedback that you're eliciting from your audiences.Shirlene: So it would almost be good to print out a little paper, that you hand to them, that asks those questions.Davide: Yes, absolutely. Just be very intentional with the kind of feedback that you want and reserve your expert feedback about the actual art and business of speaking for those who are experts on those topics.Shirlene: So Davide, what do you think is the best formula for putting your speech together? Because I've watched a lot of Tedx and you know some of it is so boring. So how do you get beyond that boring stage?Davide: It's so funny because even on the website for Ted itself, they warn against speaker coaches and people who are trying to sell a formula for what a great talk is. And on the website it says, "A great talk has a great beginning, a great middle and a great end. And you know, it seems almost trite to say that, but if you can commit to... So my background is in theater and performance and I really like the three act structure. Now there's ways to expand on that. But if you basically think, okay, I need a beginning which has to be compelling and hook the audience in, a middle, which is sort of the bulk of your information or the content or whatever it is that you're sharing and then you're ending again, has to be as compelling if not more compelling than your opening to really end on a high note. And when you just have a simple structure and you don't get lost in the weeds of all the content and all the ideas that you want to share. It makes it much more linear for the audience to follow. The other secret that I've discovered, with making a talk not boring is, and especially if we're talking with a Ted Style Ted worthy talk, you want to share one idea. So let me give you an example in popular music. Notice any song three, four, five minutes long. There's one idea and they usually repeat it over and over and over again in the chorus and the lyrics. I always like to joke. You know, Beyoncé is approaching billionaires status because she says a couple of things over and over and over again. And that really is the key. So what happens is speakers try to pack too much information into 10 minutes, 15 minutes, into 90 minutes, God help us. When you put less information in and you use, what I like to call the Beyoncé-ism of repetition, and you repeat ideas over and over again in different ways. People Latch on and it becomes much more interesting and exciting.
