Tasha Booth is the CEO and the founder of The Launch Guild, an agency that helps entrepreneurs like us launch their programs, podcasts and courses. And last year they hit a million dollars. So we talk about: what did it take to get there? What was the mindset shift required in order for this magic to happen? Listen in and find out! 


Are you ready to create your moment-making signature talk? The signature talk that you can deliver again and again, in any context and set you up as an authority, a go-to help you make more money, grow your audience, all the things a signature talk can do?

BUT: you're not quite sure what that single topic can be. I mean, how do you sum up your life's work in one talk? Well, I get it. It's hard. We're going to talk about it.

How do you feel about money? When I talk about making a lot of money, what comes up for you? 

We are all carrying around belief - including me! And as we continue on our Million$$Mission - I'm trying to share my money story and beliefs, become aware of what might be holding me back - because if I'm going to help lead you on this million dollar mission, I got to tackle my money story.

AND - I invite you to think about YOUR money story, as well!

A few months ago, my awesome strategist said to me, Sally, do you think people really know what's possible with speaking? And I was like, I hope so because that's all I talk about and blabber on all the time - and she said, no, The money. Do you think they know how much money you can make the speaking?

And I was like, Oh that, um.... maybe?  

So - we're going to talk about it. 

We're going to set bigger dreams and goals around money. 

And together, we're going to make a million dollars, and have a massive impact on this world. 

Let's go!

The moment you step out front (on stage, in Zoom, in that Facebook Live, in your workshop!), you are making an impression. And, even more importantly, our clothes affect how we feel (which affects how we speak)! So - if you want to be a more impactful speaker, you've got to be intentional about your clothes! I brought on the show with me LaToya Bell, a style confidence coach who helps entrepreneurs bring more confidence into their business by defining their style and making more aligned choices in their clothing.

What should I wear when I present? What clothes are best for speakers? How do I develop my speaking style? How can I develop my speaking confidence? How can I be a more confident speaker?

We are on part five of the How to be Memorable on Stage series. We have talked about the before, stories, the BET (beginnings ending transitions) - and the between.

Our final session today is all about how we show up in our bodies and the movement of our talk.

People think this part is pretty obvious. Most people come to me and they're like, I'm not as worried about delivery.

Not so fast... cause there's a lot to tackle here! Ultimately, we're trying to find that really difficult balance of being intentional without being robotic.

So let's dive in!

Also - come and join us inside the Emerging Speaker Society where we do the full version of these trainings, and I answer all your questions... https://www.bemoved.com/ess

Today what’s moving me is the idea that we’re never going to be done with virtual… and that this weird relationship we have with Zoom (and the like!) will continue. 

And YES - last week we were dreaming about getting back out on stage!... and we WILL! But today we're focusing on what really makes virtual speaking work. 

Enter Lea Pica!

Lea is a Data Viz expert - which means she knows how to help people present their data well. She is the host of the Present Beyond Measure podcast - and is an absolute GEM… 

Lea has had a long history of presenting not just in-person, but also online, virtually. And in this episode she shares with us the "Four Horsemen of the Presentation Apocolypse" - i.e., what we can do to make sure that virtual doesn't take us down!!  These ideas are essential - so I hope this helps you not just get through virtual speaking - but to really make the most of it.

Today on the show you’re going to hear from David Meerman Scott - the author of a BUNCH of books - as well as a global keynote speaker - having spoken on the biggest stages and the biggest conferences. 

David’s sharing with us strategies around building FANS - not just clients. And as speakers - one of the things we’re focused on is building an audience, and creating a genuine connection with that audience. And David, along with his daughter Reiko, studied the difference between those brands and people who create that powerful FANDOM - and those that don’t. 

Super excited for you to check it out. Here he is - David Meerman Scott

One of the biggest reasons people come to me is that they are holding two truths up in front of themselves…
  • 1) THEY KNOW SPEAKING IS POWERFUL AND A NEEDED PART OF THEIR BUSINESS…and:
  • 2) they RESENT it in some way… 
(And yes - both can be true!) 
They resent how it takes over their life before a big opportunity, and the panic/stress that seems to come alongside it. And what is so important to know is that IT DOESNT’ HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. 
STRESS AND SPEAKING don’t have to go together! Nerves/Excitement? - that’s a different story! There are things we can DO to take the time-suck out of speaking.
 
So on the show today I’m bringing you inside one of our trainings in the Move Your Audience Facebook group - where I break down three powerful strategies for saving time in your speaking - so you can focus more on your business.

Today what’s moving me is the difference between being a topic expert… and where we really want to be - which is a thought leader. Nothing wrong with being an expert - that’s an important and powerful place to START our work… but expertise alone doesn’t help you build towards 
  • RECOGNITION, AUTHORITY, AND IMPACT
And if you leverage speaking in the right way - thought leadership is a natural result. SO if you haven’t already started making the shift from information-giver into a more influential role - we’re going to lay out that path for you in the show today.

In the show today, we're clarifying some key terms so we can leverage them specifically in our business in an intentional way. They are connected to each other. And at the heart of an intentional approach to leverage speaking? A signature talk. 


Speaking is 80% MENTAL. 
Yes - we focus on the skills and finesse our approach and craft content that people care about… But none of that will go anywhere if we don’t have our head right. 
 
So today I want to share with you 5 harmful ideas we all think sometimes that you need to let go of RIGHT NOW - so you can finally and fully step out front and speak with confidence.

Today on the show I’m super excited to share with you an exercise that is the first step in building your authority and trust in your business and with your speaking.

Today on the show I’m so excited to be introducing you to Lauren Ready - an Emmy Award-Winning producer, videographer and documentarian… and one of my speakers! Lauren started her career as a TV reporter, in front of the camera - and felt a pull to tell the stories that often didn’t get told…So she stepped behind the camera and started producing stories, events and virtual experiences from that angle.

I'm so excited for Lauren to share her unique vantage point, focusing on how the speakers she’s produced have been able to overcome the obstacle of disconnection - and bust through that wall - aka the camera! - that too often exists in this virtual world… 


What made MLK such a powerful speaker? On today’s show - in honor of Martin Luther King Day - I’m gonna nerd out on the persuasive techniques that MLK used to geniusely persuade - and how YOU can bring your own persuasive power to life in your talks, too…

Movers - I scrapped my plan this week to take a raw moment to talk with you about words, and power - and courage. The idea that I've built my business on is that words can move the world. That idea is a neutral one, unfortunately - as we've seen these past four years. People can move the world in ways that harm others... But our words? - Our words are NOT neutral. So after listening to the show today I hope you'll step out into the world in 2021 with a renewed purpose to use this incredibly powerful tool we have - our words and our voices and our stories... for good. <3

We’ve all seen what a TEDx talk can do for your career, your credibility, your business, your growth… 

And what’s so powerful about a TEDx talk - is that it’s about the purity of the idea. With both good and bad results - many TEDx events are NOT focused on the quality of the speaking (at least at first) - they prioritize the IDEA. 

Which means that ANY OF US can get one. So - is it worth it? 

In today's episode we talk with TEDx Producers Brian Hart and Erin Perry Borron - about the power of TEDx, and how one of their speakers went from local to global, reaching over 1.6 million viewers.
