Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies Deliver Keynotes that Set You Apart: How These Women Are Stepping Onto Bigger Stages [Growth Series]
What does it really take to create a keynote that inspires, connects, and builds your speaking career?
In this Back Stage with Speaking Your Brand, I’m joined by three incredible women who attended our recent Master Your Message & the Stage Workshop in Orlando: Kait Richardson, Alfarena (Alfie) McGinty, and Niki Ramirez.
You’ll hear:
- Why they decided to work on a keynote talk
- How they used our Signature Talk Canvas® framework to build a clear and compelling structure for their keynote
- The challenges they faced with getting out of the expert trap and into transformational messaging
- What they learned about shifting their approach from teaching tactics to instead identifying 3 key pillars, lessons, or stages to guide their audience
- What it was like to practice on stage with real-time coaching and support
If you’ve been dreaming of giving a powerful keynote that grows your brand and thought leadership, join us for this behind-the-scenes conversation.
