We’re wrapping up our podcast series on personal branding.

Today we're diving into how to amplify your personal brand.

You've started to define it, you're building it, and now, how can you leverage public speaking to really become a sought-after authority?

We're going to explore strategies that work - like how to find speaking engagements that are right up your alley, ways to refine your public speaking skills, and tips on using speaking opportunities to enhance your personal brand.

In this episode, Diane Diaz, our lead speaking coach, and I talk about:

Why public speaking is the fastest way to build authority and credibility for yourself
The journey from getting started with speaking to landing bigger stages
Strategies to lessen fears and nerves around public speaking
The benefits of speaking to local groups, even if they don’t have your ideal client in them
Using storytelling to make your presentations memorable
Tips for creating your speaker reel, even if you don’t have professional video clips (yet!)
