Think you need to be a "natural" to be a powerful speaker? Think again. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Lisa Nichols, a transformational speaker, who breaks down exactly how anyone can go from terrified of speaking to magnetically captivating an audience.

We discuss the four types of speakers and why most people get stuck in the "information trap." Lisa reveals her signature "scooping" technique that makes audiences see themselves in your story, and explains why we're now living in an influence economy where connection trumps credentials every time.

Lisa Nichols is a transformational speaker, CEO, and New York Times bestselling author who co-authored The Secret and multiple Chicken Soup for the Soul books. She's built a multi-million dollar company and has spoken to over 3 million people worldwide. She now dedicates her time to teaching others how to master their message.
