Episode 48: Take Your Gifts to the Stage! Building a Professional Speaking Career w/Dr. Carmen Landrau

SHOW NOTES:

This week next level entrepreneur Dr. Carmen Landrau and I took the conversation to another level as we chatted about becoming an influencer through building a professional speaking career

Highlights from the conversation:

Dr. Carmen Landrau

● Cardiologist and owner of Prestige Speaking and Coaching.

● Born and raised in Puerto Rico. After graduation from Kansas School of Medicine, she moved to Houston to do her residency in internal medicine and her fellowship in cardiology, both at the University of Texas.

● After graduation, she stayed with UT before opening her own practice in 2010. After a whole, she started looking into other things that could be done outside of clinical practice. In 2015, she received an email from the American Heart Association requesting people for a speaker’s bureau training.

● She then moved on to TV interviews (local and national), being the keynote speaker for the American Heart Association. After receiving an alert about a webinar for people in healthcare who wanted to be speakers, she realized this is exactly what she wanted to do.

The art of being in front of people

● Being a speaker is not about not being afraid. Professional speakers get nervous too. There are a handful of things that could go wrong. We overthink things such as !AM I going to have a microphone that works?” or “I hope I don’t trip and fall!” However, the way you get rid of that is by removing yourself from the equation.

● Don’t think about your hair, or your accent, or anything else. Focus on the message you are delivering. Let that message be your whole presence. And always try to make it shine. That way YOU will shine. Keep your audience engaged.

● Find what moves you. For example, for me: speaking plays a huge part in women’s empowerment. As a female and speaker, I can use my knowledge to identify and relate to women in the audience, I can also be an effective decision-maker. And that’s what’s necessary for women to be taught: speaking up, making the decision about our careers and being able to say them out loud, make our way to not get stuck in industries or positions we don’t feel like staying for the long run.

● Don’t be afraid of following other paths. Your talent and skills are and will still be within you.
