I had the pleasure of sitting down with SALLY Z, award winning speaker, TedX presenter and speaker coach to sift through what makes a good speaker and busting some myths that surround it. Sally Z's theory of "BE AN UN-SPEAKER" was the basis of her TedX talk and what she teaches other speakers, leaders, entrepreneurs & change makers about bringing "themselves" to the stage. Becoming a great speaker can be learned but delivering in your unique authentic way is the key to engagement and succeeding.How'd she get started and how is she helping others find the courage to becoming "Thought Leaders"?  - LISTEN and FIND OUT!BIO:"Sally Z" is an award-winning speaker & speaker coach whose mission is to create talks that move their audiences and the world.

The journey IS the THERE. And it is SO TRUE for us as speakers, too: People come to me in such varying stages - some embracing the path opening themselves up to learning and growing and some - resisting the journey wanting to rush to the END, to this idea of THERE… When in reality - there is no THERE. It is a circular, constant evolution and iteration and growth process. So I decided help us ALL embrace this journey we’re on by sharing some of my all-time favorite conversations I’ve had about these really essential parts of the journey. The parts that even if we are on board with... we have to always keep working on. Cause the journey IS the there. Over the last four years I’ve talked with some incredible people - some of whom it’s fair to assume you’ve heard of - and others, you likely haven’t. And yet - ALL of these conversations held some AHA moments that will help us walk along in the journey more openly, more thoughtfully - more courageously. I've got 10 episodes for you, re-published favorites here on This Moved Me. And I can't wait for you to hear!

You cannot speak (well) without fear. And as we take on any new risk, new venture, new challenge  - we want to move through fear so that we can experience FREEDOM in our speaking.    Getting to FREEDOM means we want to act FEARLESS, even though we are afraid.    In this new virtual world - we need to be fearless in a powerful way.  Talking to an empty audience? - Move through your fear - your audience still needs you.  Attempting a Webinar for the first time to share your message? Move through that fear - your audience still needs you.  Trying a totally new approach in your message sharing? Show up, do the work, even when you’re afraid - your audience still needs you.    And on today's on the show I’m talking with Scott Savage - a pastor and frequent guest on This Moved Me - because he brings a passion for the craft of speaking and combines it with his wise and generous spirit. I wanted him to talk about how he’s moved his speaking virtually - and what that means for him - AND, I wanted to talk with him about the skills needed to do these kinds of things - because he himself has moved THROUGH fear. He is experiencing the FREEDOM in his speaking - and it’s inspiring. 

Listen to our brand new podcast episode from WHW member, Sally Koering Zimney of This Moved Me. Sally shares 3 Things We Need to Believe To Speak with Authenticity.

Imagine speaking in front of a thousand people for the first time. You practiced your speech over a dozen times but the moment you walk across that stage, you freeze. Your palms are sweaty, you can feel your heart beat fast, and your hands are slightly shaking. What you’re feeling is the adrenaline rush kicking in. You may start to feel awkward and uncomfortable at first, but that’s not a bad thing! There is power in embracing who you are and honing in on the art of telling your story. Our guest this week, Sally Zimney, presentation coach, speaker, and host at This Moved Me podcast, believes in the power of storytelling. Sally believes that your audience wants to connect with you, the vulnerable, raw, and real you. Being nervous is a completely normal human trait, everyone gets nervous about the things that are most important to them. When we embrace who we are and hone in on our storytelling, our audience won’t care if we forgot part of our routine. Our audience want to trust us and empathize with us. The moment we realize that it’s less about perfection and more about connection, the more people understand who we are. Download Your Speaking Superpower - all about figuring out what the 'thing' is about you that makes you, YOU! Find it at: speakingsuperpower.com   Topics Discussed: How to connect with your audience. The power of storytelling. How to enhance your production by shifting your rehearsal. The humanity in making light of your shortcomings. How the risk of vulnerability pays off. Changing your mindset from admiration to real connection. How to recognize your bravery.   Connect with Sally: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram -- Want to create more content but do not know what to share?

Speaking in front of women is definitely something I love doing. And my good friend Laura Gmeinder does this in her own business: she is a public speaker who empowers women to uncover a career they love.   In this episode, we talk about negotiation in business, identifying the women connectors in your network, and how she asked for data on a guest post to define a speaking topic.   More about Laura:   Laura Gmeinder is a passion igniter.  She’s the Leading Lady at Laura Gmeinder Coaching & Consulting. Those in-the- know would tell you she’s a top rated coach, consultant and motivational speaker. Laura’s passion lies at the intersection of leadership development and business strategy. Her story? She survived a quarter life crisis, harnessed her reawakened sense of adventure, left her corporate HR job (after 14 years) and set out to make an impact in the world. She is an InBusiness Magazine “40 Under 40”, honored for her business savvy and civic contributions, a BRAVA magazine 2018 Woman to Watch and an Athena Young Professional Award nominee.

AmyK Hutchens is a speaker, teacher, trainer, entrepreneur and business strategist - and spends most of her year traveling around the globe speaking about leading a more productive and profitable life. She's a business and life coach whose job is to teach from the stage! She's got dozens of impressive accolades that clearly state she is a powerhouse - both on and off the stage. But I love that AmyK came to me from a referral from my friend and guest here on This Moved Me, Jenny Evans. Jenny insisted that AmyK would be great - and she was! We talked about how we as leaders can't just shove the message we think our audience NEEDS down their throats; no, we have to wrap that needed message in what they want:

This Moved Me helps purpose-driven changemakers speak with confidence, clarity, and authenticity so they can create talks that move the world.

Harris III - magician, producer, creative guru - and the man behind the now practically infamous STORY Gathering that I continually rave about here on the show. Yes, that's right - I went straight to the source to hear about how it all came to life - and how to create something both uncommon and universally moving - a challenging feat. I've had so many guests on the show that were inspired by my experience at Story - Jason Jaggard, Brad Montague, and now Harris. Hank Fortener - a favorite with my listeners - was also there last year. And it was first introduced to me by my guest Lindsay O'Connor who read some of Story's marketing materials for her This Moved Me Moment, and I gasped with awe for the beauty of the writing. That's what I'm talking about: beauty, creativity, risk, identity, community. These themes swirl in and around the STORY crew, and it makes for an experience that will nourish your soul and challenge us to do work that really matters. You guys - I realize that much of this sounds like a commercial for STORY. They are not paying me to say any of this. I get no kick back from this. I am just a real, live FAN because of my experience last year - and I want to see you there! AND! And! And. (I'm excited. Can you tell?) Since I recorded this conversation, Story has asked me to be a part of the experience in September. Live coaching, anyone!? Aw yeah. So - Let's do this! And listeners here at This Moved Me get a 10% discount if you use the code THISMOVEDME. Whoa! Do this! Ticket prices go up by $100 on May 31st - so now is an awesome time to join in. (And if you decide to go - let me know by sending me a quick note. I'd love to connect!) To all: enjoy.

This week I hit my 150th episode. WHA??? (I know, I feel the same way.) Almost three years ago, I ventured into this endeavor sure that I had something to offer - but NO IDEA really how to do that, or if it would work, or how much work it would be. Turns out it was a LOT of work - and that I love it way more than I ever thought I would! This Moved Me has challenged me to show up, and take a risk. (A muscle all of us speakers need to flex as much as we can.) And that sometimes people dig what I do! And sometimes, they don't. And that has to be ok if I'm going to do this. At the end of every one of my Mini Moved Me episodes for the last year or so, I have included a little something for those who stick with me to the end: a tiny little outtake - me, messing up somehow. There may be 3 people out there who hear them - but it's not really about that. It's about practicing the art of showing up, ANYWAY.

Rita Boersma has been with me since the beginning. Literally! She was my first guest way back in 2014 - and I thought it was time to bring her back to the forefront. Why? Because Rita is someone who brings her talent and insight so beautifully to her creations that I'm often in awe of what she can do. She is brilliant and funny - as a writer, a speaker, a coach and an improviser. And together, we've made some cool stuff.  So if you're new to us here at This Moved Me and haven't gone all the way back to the beginning - enjoy this little gem... the sound system wasn't up to par; the equipment was mediocre; but the conversation was rich. Enjoy! 

In this republication of one of my most popular episodes EVER on This Moved Me, Hank Fortener and I delve into HOW he creates talks week after week with the same kind of passion and intentionality that he brings to each talk. Hank is a talk-crafting master, thanks to the thousands of hours he has spent building and re-building talk after talk. In this slightly longer episode (I just couldn't cut anything!) - Hank shares his insights, ideas and approaches to crafting a talk.

Scott Savage – a Twitter friend! - found me through one of my all-time favorite episodes – Hank Fortener. Hank and Scott have many things in common – they are both speakers, they are both pastors, they both have this wonderful combination of skill and insight that makes them both really good at what they do, but also WISE at what they do. These are my favorite kinds of guests – guests that dig deeper with me on why this matters. In Scott's life - whether as a blogger or speaker, his goal is to empower us with new perspective - and he makes good on that promise. And here’s what I really appreciate about Scott – he is so clear and honest on the WORK that it takes to become a transformative speaker. He believes in the opportunities that are in front of us when we “take the stage.” And he prepares, invites feedback, polishes, invests himself… and then starts over again the following week. That kind of dedication and commitment has earned my respect – and I can’t wait for you to also lean into his insight.   Show highlights: On Becoming Better [Tweet "#Speakers: "Nothing can replace experience." @scottsavagelive on @ThisMovedMe"]   On the show, we talked about: Scott's journey to experienced and skilled speaker, learning from those speakers he admired and that moved through him The importance and challenge of the rhythm of the pastor's speaking schedule What "transformation" looks like - and how Scott nurtures his talks to move his audience using a "Star Moment" - a moment they'll always remember And the role of feedback, failing and mining your life's bumps to bring insight to your audience [Tweet ""I got better because I gave lots of bad talks and got brutal feedback." @scottsavagelive on @ThisMovedMe"]   Resources/Links: Scott's Blog - Scott Savage Live Scott on Twitter  (he shares good stuff there - check it out!) Gary Vaynerchuck - and moving to more authenticity and courage Ira Glass - here's a link to his storytelling series on YouTube, which is awesome Blaine Hogan (who said, "Scratch when you don't itch.") Evernote - a digital filing app that makes it easy to collect, organize and stay inspired [Tweet ""The messages I give are the ones that have already wrecked me." @ScottSavageLive on @ThisMovedMe"] This Moved Me Moments: SALLY: I auditioned for the Listen To Your Mother event here in the Twin Cities! It was a moving moment for me because I haven't auditioned for anything in quite a long time - so it was good to be nervous, and good to put myself out there. [Good news! I got in! More on this soon.] For your viewing pleasure, take a look at one of my favorites on the LTYM YouTube channel! SCOTT:  Scott reminded us about the "me too moments" that can be so powerful in our talks. We think we're the only one, but when we hear another person's story we can find the universal in someone else's specific. I'm grateful, ******* And - THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS! Dr. Nick Morgan (a guest on This Moved Me) created the Presentation Prep Course. It's like having Nick coach you - which is no small thing! Nick is the ultimate pro - and I myself have walked through this course. It's so incredibly helpful and full of insight and tools. If you are prepping for a presentation and can't afford the costly hours of hiring someone live - check out this e-course!  And, I cannot forget the editing geniuses at We Edit Podcasts! They are so on the ball.  Just last week I hadn't heard from my editor - which was strange - and so I sent an email expressing my concern. I got a phone call back from the FOUNDER, assuring me all was well. That's what I call service. Please trust me - I have saved so many hours by having these folks take on the nit-picky task of editing my shows for me. If you have a podcast - or want to create a podcast - this is sooooo worth it. 

My website is broken - so I'm taking an early "spring break" - or hiatus - from my interview episodes to share with you a few This Moved Me Moments that have struck me in the last few weeks! -Send in YOUR This Moved Me Moment by tagging @ThisMovedMe in Facebook, Instagram or Twitter - and I might share yours on the show! Also - if you want to support This Moved Me financially (I mean, why not?! ) even $1 an episode can make a HUGE difference! Check out http://www.patreon.com/thismovedme to learn more.

Michael Veltri came to me through Nick Morgan (one of our sponsors of this show, a guest on This Moved Me, and an all-around great human) - and we originally recorded a conversation this past summer. But as you know if you've been following along with me, I had some technical issues this summer (understatement - ahem). And then I got a new computer. And I think the combo invited in some terrible karma or something, and I lost the recording with Michael. (I know, how does that happen?!) So, he was kind enough to sit down via Skype - again! - and I'm so glad we did! Michael is an executive coach, consultant, speaker, entrepreneur - and he brings his life experience - as a cancer survivor, an Aikido Master, a Marine - into all that he does. Plus, he's in the midst of some major growth in his speaking career, so we got to talk about lessons learned along the way. Enjoy!

I've got a special edition of This Moved Me this week! I gave a big hint about it in my weekly This Moved Me newsletter a few weeks back... so, for those who are not signed up for these emails (why aren't you signed up for these?!), let me see if I can set this up for you.   A few weeks ago I attended the Minneapolis Foundation's 100-year anniversary conference. They had some HUGE keynote speakers lined up - Dan Buettner from the Blue Zone project (hilarious, I'm dying to interview him), Michio Kaku - the physicist futurist (he is really something - a total entertainer) - and then our guest for today's show - Dan Pallotta, founder and president of Advertising for Humanity and the Charity Defense Council.   You see, Dan invented the modern-day charity event, and in doing so, raised hundreds of millions of dollars for some of the biggest causes of the day. But it wasn't an easy ride. Dan's TED Talk - one of the 100-most viewed of all time - inspires and insists on a new way of thinking about how we treat charities and nonprofits so that these organizations have a fighting chance at actually changing the world.   Loved our brief 15-minutes to dig into how we can convince a sometimes unwilling audience!  

On this week’s This Moved Me, I got to chat with the awesome Jenny Evans, founder of PowerHouse Performance Coaching - and author, speaker, and expert on both fitness and resilience training. She has spoken in front of thousands, all over the world - and lucky for me, I've been one of those audience members! The thing about Jenny is she doesn't just do your typical corporate training thing. She pushes the boundaries - and that's exactly why she is such an engaging and dynamic speaker and person. Read more here: http://www.thismovedme.com/052-jenny-evans-on-pushing-our-and-our-audiences-boundaries/    

On this week’s This Moved Me, I talk with the famous TED-speaker, Julian Treasure. Julian’s 5 TED talks have accumulated over 20 million views worldwide! Obviously, Julian’s passion of talking about how we speak – how we listen – and how we create sound that people WANT to listen to – resonates! I was so thrilled to get some of his time to share his expertise with you.   In the show we talked about:  Julian’s story – how he started helping people create their brands through sound The experience of speaking at TED How to help your audience hear you The power of filters The importance – and difference between – preparation and practice When authenticity turns to artifice   TMM MOMENTS: Julian: The experience of seeing a student of his grow and improve, in one short day. When we commit ourselves to making a difference, it often comes back to us!   Sally: My husband and I went to Universal studios, and I got to see Hogwarts castle. It reminded me of the power of literature, and the connection we build with these characters and worlds.    

On this week’s This Moved Me, I talk with Jane Leyden Cavanaugh – speaker, improviser, comedian – and spiritual guide. Yes, that’s right – Jane is a hilarious prophet. So, we dove in to talk about the important connection between the truth and the funny.   In the show we talked about:  Jane’s time at the Groundlings – learning what funny really is When she finds the true in the funny – building her prophetic voice The importance of vulnerability in this work The power of imagery – inspired by Parker Palmer’s Let Your Life Speak And the realization that we have to find our wisdom and insight by doing the work ourselves.   TMM MOMENTS: Jane: This powerful quote by George Bernard Shaw: “This is the true joy in life – being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a might one; being thoroughly worn out before you are throw on to scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances.”   This quote has inspired Jane’s purpose to speak with a prophetic voice – a voice that lifts people up and leaves them with hope and an idea of what could be (rather than being a clod of ailments and grievances). Love it.   Sally: Jane’s TMMM is what moved me!

On this week’s This Moved Me, I talk with Malcom Chapman – speaker, Bush Fellow and community leader on the power of our speaking opportunities to move our community and really make a difference. Though we had some challenging audio - I decided to still share because the content of the conversation was so great. My apologies for the static - bare with me on this one! - and enjoy!   In the show we talked about:  Malcom’s Story The Bush Fellowship – and how we serve Malcom’s biggest challenges The power of family and our stories   TMM MOMENTS: Malcom: An ELCA Youth Gathering, where he experienced a Pastor preaching to console himself. The power of that story, and the vulnerability in that – Malcom felt like he knows him now.   (We also gave a shout-out to President Obama’s Eulogy after the Charleston shooting. https://youtu.be/RK7tYOVd0Hs)   Sally: This hilarious and stupid video about the impact of Helium Beer. Just TRY and watch this without laughing!   (https://youtu.be/3V9QHBgrPNY)

On this week’s This Moved Me, I talk with Aly Wallberg – speaker, communications coach, teacher and business professional – about the power of rhetoric to learn about ourselves, each other and the world.   NOTES: Aly Wallberg and I connected through her short and lively Ignite Minneapolis Talk where she analyzed Sarah Palin's Lipstick on a Pitbull convention speech. I loved the talk and thought Aly was brilliant and funny. So of course I had to have her on the show!    Aly is a speaker, communications coach and generally smart human who brings her expertise to her work in the corporate world, as well. It was so fun to connect with a person who has a similar passion and excitement about words and the impact they can have.   In the show we talked about:  The process of creating a somewhat controversial talk The role that studying rhetoric can have in the every day work world And the loftier benefits of studying rhetorical appeals - knowing ourselves and each other more powerfully   TMM MOMENT: ALY: The podcast Death, Sex and Money - a podcast about the things we don't talk about. The Living Alone and Liking It Sometimes episode.    Sally: 92Y - Check it out!  Especially liked the episode with Dick Cavett and Alec Baldwin.. compare that to fun and frivolous Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper episode.   

On this week’s This Moved Me, I talk with Bryan Skavnak – golf pro, author and speaker from The Happiest Golfer – about the connection between golf and speaking. There is one! Who knew!? (Not me.)

Scott Schwertly is a presentation design GURU. Honestly, I'm so pumped that we got a chance to talk (especially because he JUST HAD A BABY!) - but also because I really admire and appreciate his work at Ethos3. In this episode of This Moved Me, Scott and I talked about how he focuses on both the art - and the science - of presentation development.  Ethos3 works to "out-teach" the competition, focusing on the science behind all of those top 10 lists to becoming a better speaker.

And she lives it out, as well - pushing boundaries, challenging herself, innovating and creating change.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Paul brought to the table this idea of being a 4:3 person living in a 16:9 world. Intriguing! What does he mean by that?  Well, we dive into it here.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Hank and I delved into HOW he creates talks week after week with the same kind of passion and intentionality that he brings to each talk.

In this slightly longer episode (I just couldn't cut anything!) - Hank shares his insights, ideas and approaches to crafting a talk.

In this episode of This Moved Me, after having to reschedule due to technical difficulties caused by children (ahem, mine), Stephanie and I talk about how the way we present the information that fuels our research and work can help illuminate the ideas in essential ways. Without the right kind of platform for our data, it gets easily lost - and many, many people are hungry to figure out how to persuade people with their data. But there's an art to it!

In this episode of This Moved Me, Jeff and I talk about the process of bringing your voice into the world - and how Jeff has translated his core mission as a writer into the speaking world. Though it wasn't something Jeff set out to do, he realized that it's a critical part of sharing his message.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Sara and I talk about the process -and more importantly - the responsibility - of communicating a message full of heart, intention and guidance for the people in her congregation. Sara is a walking example of someone who loves people - well, beautifully, and often. (Lucky congregation!) So it was wonderful to get her insight on how she brings that love to life as a speaker.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Joe and I talk about taking all of this skills needed as a broadcaster and how he translated it to being on stage as a keynote speaker. As a journalist and broadcaster, Joe focused on stories of impact - and over time had gathered so many powerful stories that were not just about sports - but about how we can lead better lives.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Corey and I talk about his arc towards his speaking career, which includes battling real anxiety, facing it head-on and ending up being a stand-up comedian and prolific speaker.
