When getting ready for a big talk, I bet you spend the bulk of your preparation time developing your content. Whether it's creating a mind map or an outline, writing a script to practice from, or jumping straight to it and creating a PowerPoint. Regardless, I bet you spend more time creating the content than practicing HOW you’ll deliver your message. But remember this: Your words matter (work on those), but how you deliver them matters far more. Because even when not speaking, you’re communicating to your audience. When you embrace this and get more intentional with how you communicate, you become far more influential. Learn how in today’s episode as I introduce my Delivery Core Four and share how you can elevate your skills.Take Action:What’s the one Delivery Core Four area that you really need to focus on this week? Do you need to get better with your tone, slow down your pace, or practice using your hands? Whatever it is, pick one and then tag me @theheathersager in your IG Storiesso I can cheer you on!Highlights from the Episode:(08:30) Every moment we are communicating like it or not. So once you become more aware and take ownership of the fact that you're always saying something, even when you're not, you can begin to do something about it to make sure that what you're saying in this world is what you want others to hear.(24:27) When it comes to showing up for your audience and delivering the message that you have in your head and in your heart, you have to bring the soul, you have to bring the fire, you got to bring the heat baby, and you do that through the Delivery Core Four.  EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode9/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.

Last weekend I attended Amy Porterfield’s Entrepreneur Experience Conference. If you weren’t there, just let me tell you it was amazing. I learned so much and I get the opportunity to share a little of what I learned in this episode of the Finding Your It Factor Podcast. One of the biggest takeaways was my realization that sometimes we focus so hard on how we show up on stage, but we don’t put a lot of energy and attention into how we show up for ourselves. Are you guilty of that?I loved watching Amy answer questions during Q & A time. She actually listened. She actually cared. She brought humility and passion and compassion and presence to each conversation. I bet if you thought about it, you do the same with your clients and followers, right? But what about you? Do you treat yourself the same way? Do you show up for yourself when no one else is around?Take a listen to this off the cuff episode as we talk about how to embrace Q & A sessions as a strategy to extend your content, as well as how to show up for yourself. Because, if we can’t be the best version of us for ourselves, well…we won’t be able to attract ideal clients or inspire other people. And isn’t that the goal?EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode8/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.

Are you a self proclaimed personal development junkie like me? Podcasts, audiobooks, actual books, online courses… scrolling IG or FB for doses of inspiration? It can fuel you with ideas for an ongoing list of dreams and goals… but it can also leave you feeling, at times, less than enough.It’s like those dreams and ideas become this looming to-do list of things you’ve yet to accomplish. And you realize that sometimes the goal you set for yourself isn’t the goal you truly want. It’s a terrible feeling to know that you could be making strides toward your big goal, but those other items on your list make you feel…stuck. And out of sheer stubbornness, you just don’t want to take an item off your to-do list. …and so, it sits there, week after week and month after month, making you feel guilty about the lack of progress you’ve made. Sometimes preventing you from working on the goals that really matter. You know, the ones that are actually going to make a difference?The good news? There’s a solution and it comes down to asking the following questions.Do I even want this?What’s going to be different in my life if I were to achieve this?Why is this so important to me?When I achieve it, what then will be possible for me?Imagine you’ve just accomplished your goal, how would you act today? Today, I’m giving you permission to slow the heck down and take a good, hard look at your list of goals. It’s time to get unstuck. It’s time to Marie Kondo the crap out of that list so that you can have the wins and successes you’ve been dreaming about and (bonus!) actually feel like you’re succeeding.  To do that, you have to take back control of your thoughts, your action items, and your dreams. Isn’t it about time?The truth is that your goals should pull you up not push you down and that’s exactly what this conversation is about today. Let’s get out of the mud and start living our dreams.

If you want to crush your business goals, you've got to embrace speaking opportunities. Does that mean you need to jump on stage in front of 1,000 people right away? Heck no. When most entrepreneurs think of speaking, they think of either professional speakers charging a fee for their talk or speaking for free to get experience… to eventually command a fee. But this concept of trading money for time wasn’t why you built your business. And speaking for free without a strategy isn’t going to lead you towards the results you want. The good news is that these aren’t the only ways to speak to get results in your business.In this episode, I’m sharing three specific speaking strategies you can use in your business to achieve your revenue goals. We’ll talk about the similarities and differences between speaking for a fee, speaking to sell your programs, and speaking to grow your audience.We’ll also talk about keeping your WHY front and center when it comes to picking a speaking strategy. That means, you choose the right opportunities to achieve your goals without sacrificing your business, your family, your health or yourself in the process.How do we do that? That’s the challenge.

Does the thought of speaking on stages get your excited or make you want to hide? As an online entrepreneur, you want to position yourself as an authority and speaking on stages is one of the fastest ways to establish yourself. But which comes first?

Many business owners sit on the sidelines waiting for the right moment in their business to step into the spotlight… and that’s a mistake. Finding the courage to get on stage, can be scary. And that’s why today I’m sharing with you 7 ways to incorporate speaking into your business besides a keynote (aka big stage) presentation. Listen in to learn how you can establish your authority and make a big impact while growing your audience.

What comes to mind when you hear the words role play, rehearsal and practice?Do you get excited? I bet not. You probably roll your eyes, become a little dizzy, and come up with a list of other things that are FAR more important in your business.The saying goes, practice makes perfect? Well, SCREW perfect. Nobody wants to hear or watch perfect. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t practice. If you want to show up with confidence and authority on your videos, webinars, live presentations and sales calls, practice is a necessity. It’s how you show your audience that you value and respect their time. It's how you NOT show up like a robot. When you practice, you can become more intentional with capturing their attention at the right times so they’ll go running to sign up for your email list (and buy your programs).But not all practice is created equal. In today’s episode I’m sharing my 4 Levels of Practice that you can incorporate into your day to strengthen your presentation muscles with your audience. EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode4/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.
