There's an interesting conflict my clients have when they first start working with me.
They know they have something to say, but they don't know how to say it effectively and to a larger audience. The frustration is real. They've done branding courses, marketing courses, some have even done media training before.
But they haven't done enough work on figuring out who they are and why they want to share this message on larger stages.
This is the real work of effective communication. It's not about avatars or breathing exercises. Those tools help fine-tune the process. The real work is exploring who you are and getting in alignment with the message.
It affects everything, from finding the right words, to creating the right tone, even having stage presence. This is what I explore in my conversation with professional voice actor and public speaker Renee Besson.
We both agree the first step to effective public speaking is to get your ego out of the way. It's not about you, it's about your audience.
Getting in alignment with your message is the core of what I coach. If you are struggling with knowing what to say and how to say it, check out our media training program Launch It Loud. Sign up for the full 12-week program or focus on the module that speaks to you.
