Right now we are focusing on what we need to be ready to create our Signature talk, and offer to the world the ideas that only YOU can offer them. TED Talks have established a new norm. Because it's such a wildly popular platform, and because thought leaders want to stand on that platform, the expectations around speaking have changed. It cannot be about our business - it has to be about an IDEA. The TED Platform will not entertain talks that feel like selling. So - what I want to talk about today are three beliefs that you need before you can own the title of TED speaker and thought leader. 1) I belong on this stage. I belong on THIS stage. I belong on THE platform that so many people all over the world have on their bucket list! Because there's all of these expectations that surround the idea of what a TED Speaker is... it has to do with being "worthy" of it. Ugh. So - we have to know, deep in our soul - that we are worthy We don't always start at this point - but the process of developing your talk will walk you to this point. And though the process is difficult and will put you through a lot to get there - Even as a presentation coach, the process of me getting my TED talk ready? I remember at one point suddenly questioning everything I know, wondering if I really belonged up there. Because it's such a powerful platform, it will call into question your belief in yourself. so we have to start with our belief that you belong up there. So if you have this little idea in your head, "I want to do a TED Talk" - then that means that somewhere else in your brain is a voice saying "You belong up there." That's the voice we're going to listen to! 2) I don't know everything, but I know this. Your TED talk is built on significant AHA moments that you have learned and experienced. It can be about a slice or niche that is tiny. You are not expected to know everything; I fact, I think it's powerful to acknowledge that you don't know things - so that when you say 'but I do know this' - Do you know what you know? Because this TED talk will help pull this out of you, I promise!

Tiffany spent the last 20+ years being an expert and trusted “facilitator”, teacher and workshop leader - but NOT a speaker. Which is what brought her to me. Tiffany knew that speaking is good for her business - for her brand - for her movement and for her message. She WANTED to do it. She planned and strategized around it. She worked with a coach. She was thrilled to get the opportunity to step on stage as a keynoter at this big conference. And she was also scared. “I’m not a speaker” - she said. What?! You speak all the time!, I said! You lead workshops, and get on Lives and create videos… Why not be a speaker?! This has been our conversation over the last few years as we’ve worked together - How about you!?

Time. Do you have an abundance of it all of a sudden? Or - at least different kinds of time. TIME has freed up in the some incredible ways… and it opens up possibilities for us… I was on a Zoom call this morning (sound familiar?!), and this amazing entrepreneur I was talking to told me that speaking was "always on the list, but never at the top of it - Until now." Her business has slowed a bit, and now she has TIME - and she is taking that time to invest in her speaking skills, among other things. <3 I am so delighted in all of the ways people are seeing this time as full of POSSIBILITIES… possibilities are my JAM. They drive me. Think of all of the things happening right now because of TIME we didn’t have before…
We don’t know when exactly live events will be coming back online (no pun intended there) - but when they do, you want to be ready. This is an amazing time to do the thing that is always on your list - but never at the top of it… NOW is the time to create your signature talk. So you can say YES to the podcast requests without worry Seek out that conference opportunity you KNOW you’d offer value to To help build your brand - grow your audience - and become the thought leader in your space. Investing time in a core talk now that you can use in hundreds of ways - is powerful not just for your eventual conference talk or TED talk - it’s valuable for EVERY TIME you show up to offer a message, share your story, and LEAD. QUOTES: "This is an amazing time to do the thing that is always on your list - but never at the top of it." "Speaking is always on my list - but never at the top of it. Until now." "Investing time in a core talk now that you can use in hundreds of ways will help you LEAD in a more powerful way through this crisis, and after it." "Do this now so you can say YES to the requests that come your way." HIGHLIGHTS:

I was on Zoom with an entrepreneur recently who said - So let me get clear for you - because whatever we call it - we all need one: Signature talk - that one idea you’re known for - what no one else can talk about or do like YOU… Sometimes Signature Talks are in the form of TED Talks - in podcast conversations

Today I have a special bonus episode for you, sharing my most recent Movers Live - a monthly Q&A show where I take on your speaking and presentation questions. I took your questions about video - and how to present virtually, with confidence and authenticity. Then - I brought on screen with me YouTube Vlogger Josh Johnson, whose spirit comes to LIFE on video! Josh and I worked together for many years, and he's both a wonderful speaker and a wonderful person. He shared with us some of his key tips and strategies for reaching our to your audience, speaking to the camera, and simple tech tips to get you going. Hope you enjoyed this bonus episode - and I'll be back with you all on Monday talking about why NOW - yes now! - is the time to start working on your Signature Talk. (Not sure what a signature talk is? We'll talk about it!)
