Speaker As Preacher: Get Your audiences attention and keep it! SAS with guest Jon Burkhart #32

In this previously live episode, I speak with international award-winning keynote speaker, strategist and author of the world-famous Newsjacking, Jon Burkhart.

I know Jon as part of the You Are The Media community. He was the first person I ever interviewed in person for my podcast.

A firecracker when it comes to speaking, his energy onstage and off is frenetic and infectious.

As a professional speaker, he talks about the WHAT, HOW & WHY of what makes a brand more memorable and meaningful.

Jon describes himself as a 'firecracker' and he's not exaggerating!

He is dynamic, different (he started our conversation wearing a Panda's head!) and an advocate of 'dopamine storytelling'.

He explains what that is in our fascinating and all-too-short conversation. He tells me how he trained to be a speaker before he became a marketing strategist and we discuss amongst other things whether speakers are extroverts or introverts, and what makes him nervous on stage.

Plus, what he mean by Newsjacking and Fartstorming!

His answer to what makes a good speaker good and a bad speaker suck is quotable. So here it is...

'Good speakers always have the end in mind. Bad speakers always have themselves in mind.'

So true.

It's always great fun talking to Jon and I promise it'll be as much fun to listen.

The Risk You Take By Showing Up on Social Media. SAS with Jackie and Ella Orr #31

In this previously live episode, social media and LinkedIn expert, Ella Orr and I discuss how you use your voice on social media.

We talk about the platform you use, the content you create and the risk to your Personal Brand and status when you show up in front of an audience.

So... Do you Speak up or shut up?

❓ Do you consider the risks to your personal brand when you put yourself in front of an audience?

❓ Are you concerned that speaking up or standing up for your values will lower your status in the eyes of your tribe and alienate potential clients?

❓ Do YOU conform to fit in so as not to make waves? Ella argues that building a personal brand requires you to take a risk.

❓ Is that something that worries you and means you stay in your box and in your comfort zone?

A fascinating topic and an interesting, and lively conversation. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

How to choose the RIGHT Speakers, aligned with the values and theme of the event. #30

Welcome to Part 2 of my conversation with Mark masters.

There was some weird mix-up with Streamyard and/or Linkedin messing up the timing of the live stream, which goes out at 4 p.m. on a Tuesday. For some reason (maybe the algorithm got confused over BST, British Summer Time or that fact I was streaming from SWINDON!? 🤷🏼‍♀️) it scheduled it for 5 PM.

SO, my fabulous guest Mark Masters agreed not only to spend 4 - 4.30 live with me but again 5 - 5.30 p.m. just so we didn’t upset anyone who’d put the time aside.

Mark says he’s a marketer on a mission to empower people to create businesses that others naturally want to be with. And I know that to be absolutely true.

Mark is the founder of You Are The Media, a collaborative, creative community of fabulous people (including me!) where he shares his values of creativity, independence, visibility, experimentation, co-learning, community and self-sufficiency and where WE have become the media. Self-sufficient marketers!

Mark is first and foremost a marketing consultant but he’s also a speaker, author, community leader, event organiser, educator, and Thursday morning newsletter paperboy. Plus, (briefly) a stand-up comedian!

I’ll stop there - I could go on all day listing the fabulous things that Mark Masters is, suffice to say I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now if it wasn’t for him and the YATM community.

A huge thanks to Mark for showing up twice, even though in between he was in charge of feeding the kids! In this part, we chat homophily, the speaker as a celebrity or friend and how not being picked as an 11-year-old led to You Are The Media.

AI Can’t Replace the Human Connection You Create When You step on a Stage. #29.

PART 1.

There was some weird mix-up with Streamyard and/or Linkedin messing up the timing of the live stream, which goes out at 4 p.m. on a Tuesday. For some reason (maybe the algorithm got confused over BST, British Summer Time or that fact I was streaming from SWINDON!? 🤷🏼‍♀️) it scheduled it for 5 PM.

A huge thanks to Mark for showing up twice, even though in between he was in charge of feeding the kids! (Tune in to part 2 to see how that went. 😂)

We had a fabulous conversation about getting on stage, how it started for him and how AI can’t replace human connection and of course community!

 

How To Get Paid To Speak, Boost Your Personal Brand and Become KNOWN, with Mark Schaefer #28

My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking was the marketing legend, Mark Schaefer.

I first became aware of Mark through the marketing-based community You Are The Media when during lockdown and with Covid he spoke at one of their Zoom events. He likes to say he was a Covid early adopter.

I feel incredibly fortunate that he agreed to come on my little ol’ podcast as not only is he a globally recognised speaker of 20 years, (his speeches have inspired audiences in 40 countries) but he’s also the best-selling author of 10 books. Including Belonging to the Brand, a book on the role of community in modern marketing in which he dedicates a chapter to Mark Masters, founder of You Are The Media.

He also co-authored The Most Amazing Marketing Book Ever with his own community, Rise. (FYI, my own podcast is referenced, and I get a mention in the Endnotes!!) His blog, GROW, and podcast “The Marketing Companion” are ranked among the top-rated publications in the marketing field.

He’s a futurist, business consultant and educator. And I was right - 30 minutes wasn't long enough.

However, the 43 minutes we spent together were incredibly insightful if you want to get paid to speak, write a book, develop your personal brand and become KNOWN!

Mark shares his humble speaking beginnings when payment was a chicken dinner. He tells of how he put on his 'big boy pants' and battled his nerves to get on stage. We discuss what should come first the book or the talk and how to monetise both.

He also shares some novel ways to get compensated for speaking and why, even though he coaches speakers he's never been coached himself!

And at the end of it all declares, Personal Brand is Everything!

Think You Can’t Speak in Public? Yes, You Can!#27

In this previously LIVE episode, I speak with public speaking coach and mentor, Adrienne Saunders.

Adrienne is the Founder and Director of Yes You Can Training which provides learner-based and practical public speaking and confidence training programmes to small and medium-sized companies.

The first line of her website says it all...
‘Every time you speak and there is someone listening, it's public speaking.' 

She works mainly with female leaders in a male-dominated business environment to enhance their communication skills so they can make themselves heard.

Adrienne’s background is in team gymnastics, achieving World and European Championship medals.

Her sporting skills led to success in a business career which she now shares with professionals to help them reach their full potential.

Obviously, we spoke about Adrienne’s medal-winning sports background and discussed how an athlete's discipline and focus can be used in the business world. Plus, how confident communication skills can make a leader's job easy! She also told me how she helps clients craft a talk and gets them on a TEDx stage.

So if you think you can't speak in public - YES YOU CAN!

Banish imposter syndrome and public speaking anxiety with NLP, with guest Vanda Varga. #25

My guest is Vanda Varga, the Tour Guide to Your Mind! Vanda is an accredited trainer and Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy and a Silva Method practitioner.

As a tour guide to your mind, Vanda can help you explore, uncover and re-map your map of the world.

I have recently been a student of Vanda's and what a fabulous experience it was. I took the NLP practitioner training course and am now an accredited NLP practitioner! 👏

She's an amazingly engaging and supportive teacher. A credit to her knowledge and experience of her subject but also to her communication skills.

She explains in our conversation one of the presuppositions of NLP - there is no failure only feedback - i.e., we either succeed or learn! She explains how what we shine a light on is where our energy flows, so choose where you direct your attention!

It was an enlightening conversation that also touched on Vanda's experience with the Silva Mind Control Method as a child and how it shaped her map of the world.

We also discussed her amazing tool bag of NLP techniques including The Circle of Excellence and anchoring that help build confidence and diminish the anxiety of speaking in public. As well as how to overcome imposter thinking by speaking more positively to ourselves.
