Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 146: [Coaching] Finding Your Framework with Cha’Lea Stafford [Frameworks Series]
In last week’s episode, you learned why having a framework in your business and for your presentations and workshops is incredibly powerful and the many ways you can use it.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear an on-air coaching call where I help my guest find her framework.
My guest is Cha’Lea Stafford, who is the founder to a non-traditional leadership development firm that partners with purpose-driven organizations to engage the leadership of their workforce and connect their work to their world.
Cha’Lea’s been facilitating workshops for her clients using her leadership development approach, but hadn’t yet codified it into a framework.
You’ll hear the questions I ask Cha’Lea, that you can ask yourself, to extract the process she uses to get results.
We then turn that process into an acronym, so it’s easy for her and her audiences to remember.
What do we end up with for the acronym? Listen in to find out.
This episode is part of our series on Frameworks, episodes 145-148.
Need help creating your framework? Work with us in a 90-minute strategy session or create both your signature framework and signature talk in a Virtual VIP Day.
