“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

That’s a famous and overused quote from Maya Angelou - that really applies to speakers.

Because people won’t remember your name or the exact words you say, but they will remember how your message made them feel.

And that is what I want to talk to you about today.

In this show I’m covering:

What an idea with impact looks like.
The checklist for idea success.
What can get in the way of creating an idea that lingers.
Some tips to help you nail your idea.
Why it’s worth the effort to get there.

Enjoy!

I saw Lee Warren speak at the Professional Speaking Association summit and he was one of the star turns of the event. The theme was standing out, and his talk was aimed at helping speakers to do exactly that, for the right reasons. Lee was a magician by night and a sales director by day before he fell into professional speaking. That was 15 years ago and he has been speaking consistently since then using his background in sales, performance, and psychology to help audiences at global brands to become more compelling, confident and connected. He is also the author of the award-winning book 'The Busy Person's Guide To Great Presenting', and is visiting faculty at The University of Oxford. If that wasn’t enough he is also a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association, and a recipient of the UK's highest award for Professional Public Speaking - The Hall of Fame Professional Speaking Award of Excellence. In this show I wanted Lee to share the inside track on what it takes to get going, to stand out and stay at the top of your game as a professional speaker. He didn’t disappoint. The tips and advice you get from Lee in this show are worth their weight in gold and I know that your speaking will level up if you put them into action. What you’ll discover: How Lee got into magic and how it’s influenced his approach to speaking. How he got his first paid speaking gig. The big lesson from magic that separates the great speakers from the amateurs. How his content and delivery have evolved over his speaking career and why. The distinction between different types of speakers, trainers and workshop facilitators How Lee tailors his keynotes for different audiences across different industries without reinventing the wheel every time. Some of the mistakes that people make when transitioning from free to paid gigs and how to avoid them. Lee’s tips for building a strong paid speaking pipeline. How the landscape of paid public speaking changed since Lee started in the industry and how speakers can make sure they stay relevant going forward. Why reading some of the great works of fiction can level up your speaking. Enjoy! If you'd like to watch the video of the episode, you can do that here.

Changing the Narrative with Gethin Jones - 304 1:00:22

πριν 16 weeks1:00:22

1:00:22

Trigger Warning - this show briefly discusses difficult topics including self-harm and suicide. Gethin Jones is a survivor, but what few people would have believed, (including Gethin), was that he would also become an international speaker and thought leader. Growing up in the care system, he spent a total of 8 years in prison, battled intravenous heroin addiction, and was trapped in destructive patterns that seemed destined to lead him to more prison time or an early death. He found the will to change his life and a way to transform his own narrative arc, and today he shares his story and offers hope and a different future to others incarcerated and employed within the justice system. Gethin leads Unlocking Potential, a company that works within prisons, probation services, local authorities, and charities across the UK, Australia, and America. He delivers keynote talks, workshops, training, eLearning, and consultancy, aimed at helping individuals, teams and creating a justice system that is fair and fit for purpose for everyone. If you are struggling to overcome imposter syndrome, or finding it a challenge to get traction with your message, then listen up because you will get inspiration and insight from Gethin’s journey from inmate to international speaker. Enjoy! What you’ll discover: The story of Gethin’s transformation from inmate to international speaker. What prison pipelines are and how Gethin is trying to change the justice system. How he busts the myths to shift the narrative about reform. How he positions his talk and services to connect with a business audience. The mindset and practical steps that enabled Gethin to build a speaking career from one networking meeting in 2016. Gethin’s advice if you feel that you have a message that no-one wants to hear because it is difficult and challenging. How Gethin approached the first talk he gave. Why Gethin always approaches speaking as a pupil with something to learn. Where speaking fits with moving his mission forward.

Business Book publisher and business author Alison Jones said “for business book writers a signature talk changes the game.” Arel Moodie, Professional Speaker, Disney Show Host and Founder of Talkadot said: “If you feel like you are not getting booked enough. You need a signature talk. If you feel like you are constantly chasing clients and they aren't chasing you. You need a signature talk. If you feel like you just need to be given a chance but keep feeling like the best-kept secret in your niche... You need a signature talk.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” That’s a famous and overused quote from Maya Angelou - that really applies to speakers. Because people won’t remember your name or the exact words you say, but they will remember how your message made them feel. And that is what I want to talk to you about today. In this show I’m covering: What an idea with impact looks like. The checklist for idea success. What can get in the way of creating an idea that lingers. Some tips to help you nail your idea. Why it’s worth the effort to get there. Enjoy!

The definition of ‘self-expression’ is the expression of one's feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through words, choices or actions, especially in writing, art, music, or dance. Sounds easy doesn’t it? The trouble is that we are all so bogged down with messages about how we should look, think, speak, and act; that it can make it difficult to let go of expectations and simply be ourselves… and for women this conditioning has many additional layers! What about you? How fully self-expressed are you? Do you want to speak on stage but feel like an imposter positioning yourself as an expert in your niche? Maybe you do speak, but on stage you find yourself playing safe, or trying to be what you think a presenter should be instead of sharing your personality with the audience? Well, my guest today will be sharing some ideas to help you to be more you. Michelle Minnikin is a Chartered Organisational Psychologist, speaker coach, and author of Good Girl Deprogramming. For many years Michelle struggled under the weight of expectations, playing small, putting herself last and being a ‘good girl’, without even realising she was doing it. Eventually she discovered she was suffering from ‘good girl conditioning’! In this show she shines a light on what that is and how it has disempowered women for years, decades, and generations. And whether you’re a man or a woman, who is burdened by how you are told you should be … you will get tips in this show, for how to deprogram that conditioning and set yourself free! What you’ll discover: How Michelle became a rebel and why Why Michelle is to women like Orpheus is to Neo in the matrix What’s on the other side of good girl conditioning. The resistance she has encountered to her book and ideas. How you can tell if you’re a good girl. How good girl conditioning may be holding you back. The three biggest things organisations can do to enable women to fulfil their potential. What obstacles you might encounter on the way to being fully self-expressed. The biggest challenges Michelle has encountered in creating her signature keynote All things Michelle: Good Girl Deprogramming Ebook and Paperback available at all good bookshops Good Girl Deprogramming (Amazon) Good Girl Deprogramming (Audible) Find out if you’re a Good Girl at https://goodgirlquiz.co.uk/ Website - https://www.michelleminnikin.com/ Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mminnikin/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/goodgirldeprogramming TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michelleminnikin Books & Resources*: Be More Pirate by Sam Conniff Allende Playing Big by Tara Mohr Speaking Resources: Grab Your From Blank Page to Stage Guide and Nail the Topic for a Client Winning Talk Want to get better at finding and sharing your stories then check out our FREE Five Day Snackable Story Challenge Thanks for listening!
