What’s your ‘big idea?”
We all can improve our public speaking skills.
Afterall, strategy & communications go hand in hand.
2. Heroic Public Speaking
Do you consider yourself a public speaker?
Well, if you’ve ever led a team meeting, briefed a PPT, or delivered a sales pitch – then you are a public speaker.
You may not deliver keynotes or travel on the speaking circuit…
But if you’ve…
interviewed for a job,
brought on a new client,
or translated your team’s vision into reality –
You are a public speaker.
The biggest part of a successful strategy is implementation.
And people can’t implement what isn’t clear.
Whether you’re a solopreneur or lead a team, public speaking skills are critical to success.
That’s why I recently spent two days in beautiful Lambertville, New Jersey with Heroic Public Speaking.
I took this photo in the middle of the Delaware River on the PA-NJ border.
The training was incredible. Everything from making your “big idea” crystal clear to creating content to how we use our voice & bodies as we speak.
The group in the room was delightful - entrepreneurs, small business leaders, corporate leaders, veterans, journalists, authors, and more.
It was so fun to be together in-person, sharing ideas, & learning.
When my kids heard what I was doing one said, “But mom, you already know how to talk.” (Touché)
“Yes,” I responded. “But consider soccer. You already know how to play, yet you practice to improve for game day.”
We can all become better public speakers.
And we must.
Afterall, strategy & communication go hand and hand.

What is one thing you can do today to drive greater clarity?
To your success,
