294: Attracting a Diverse Clientele with Solita Roberts
September 12, 2022 09:00 - 32 minutes - 45.3 MBI hit the “easy” button earlier this year. I say this not as an excuse but as a wake-up call for myself. It was May of this year and we had an incredible group of women join our Thought Leader Academy - and I couldn’t help but notice that almost all of them looked like me (white). This is in no way to discount how much I’ve enjoyed having each of them in the program, seeing their progress, and being incredibly proud and excited to see how they’re going to make positive changes in their com...

My guest is Monique Bryan, who runs a successful personal brand consultancy that he...
292: Your Net Worth is in Your Net Work with Colleen O’Mara and Jessie Nagel
August 29, 2022 09:00 - 42 minutes - 59 MBThis quarter on the podcast we’re focused on the theme of “Wealth.” We’ve talked about how to go from commodity speaker to thought leader (last week’s episode 291) to generating more leads from your presentations (on-air coaching call episode 290) to increasing your speaker fees (episode 289) to using our framework to create a signature talk for both impact and income (episode 288). Today we’re focusing on the wealth of your relationships. After all, your net worth is in your net work. ...
291: Speaking for Income & Impact: The 3 Key Elements You Need (and What’s Getting In Your Way) to Go from Commodity Speaker to Thought Leader with Carol Cox
August 22, 2022 09:00 - 50 minutes - 69.3 MBIf I take a look at your slide deck or presentation outline and I can’t tell that the content is yours (vs. another speaker on your topic), you’re in danger of being a commodity speaker. Commodity speakers are undifferentiated and interchangeable. This means that, as a commodity speaker, it will be harder for you to attract higher-profile speaking engagements, raise your speaking fees, and generate quality leads at your presentations. As more conferences, groups, and associations are ...
290: [Coaching] Get More Leads from Your Presentations with Monica Young
August 15, 2022 09:00 - 35 minutes - 49.6 MBOne of the best reasons to be a speaker is to increase brand awareness for your business and to generate leads and clients. Especially as social media gets noisier and the algorithms make it harder for our content to be seen, being a speaker standing in front of an audience (whether in person or virtually), with the built-in credibility and authority and attention that comes from that, is an incredible opportunity to connect with potential clients and take them to the next step on their bu...

August 01, 2022 14:45 - 20 minutes - 29.3 MBDo you sometimes sit down to create a new presentation and stare at a blank document or slide deck, not sure where to start or you feel like you have so many ideas you don’t know which to include? Or perhaps you’ve been delivering your presentations for a while and they’re not quite as effective as they could be for lead generation? Or perhaps you want to put more of your thought leadership and personal stories in your presentations but aren’t sure how to do that? This is why I created...

July 25, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 37.1 MBWhat can you expect when you work with a speaking coach? What are the outcomes and results you get?

July 11, 2022 09:00 - 13 minutes - 19.7 MBWhat kind of speaker are you? How would you describe your style? I’ve always told our clients that we don’t want to fit you into some type of “speaker mold” that doesn’t feel natural to you. Instead, I encourage you to take your natural speaking strengths and amplify them. This also means adding to your speaking toolkit by taking some of the elements that other speaking styles have and making them your own. I’ve been thinking a lot about this since we held our in-person client retrea...

282: Going Bold with Your Thought Leadership Message with Jodi Flynn
June 21, 2022 09:00 - 29 minutes - 43.2 MBDo you sometimes wonder how BOLD you want to be with your thought leadership message? You know you have something important and impactful to say, but you’re a bit uncertain on how it will be received and if there will be any backlash. I have definitely experienced this - and the benefits have far outweighed any negativity. My guest is Jodi Flynn, who is the founder of Women Taking the Lead, which helps corporate women advance in leadership, and the host of the Women Taking the Lead pod...
281: 6 Winning Ways to Open and Close Your Talks with Carol Cox
June 14, 2022 09:00 - 31 minutes - 44.2 MBHow should you open and close your talk? When we work with our clients on their signature talks using our framework, we always make sure to have a strong opening and closing. In the beginning, you want to make a good impression and set the right tone. You may also be nervous, so feeling confident about how you’re going to open your talk can make you feel better. At the end of your talk, you want to leave the audience feeling satisfied AND wanting more. In this episode, I’m sharing ...
280: Making the Shift from Expert Presenter to Storyteller in Your Keynotes with Katie Anderson
June 07, 2022 09:00 - 34 minutes - 48.4 MBLast year on this podcast, I did several episodes about the distinction between being an expert and a thought leader. As speakers, we often get stuck in what I call “the expert trap.” We get comfortable training and teaching in our area of expertise and we think that’s the only way to provide value to our audiences. The way out of this is to incorporate more of your personal journey and storytelling into your talks and to believe that providing your audiences with transformation is more ...
279: Building Trust and Connection Through Vulnerability with Dr. Katrina Skinner
May 31, 2022 09:00 - 21 minutes - 30.7 MBDo you have an experience that happened to you that you’re reluctant to share with your audience? What would happen if you did? So often we feel like our stories are too uncommon or unrelatable or not interesting enough to include in our talks. What I see happen is that speakers generalize their stories - and by doing so they remove what makes a great story. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s the specificity and details of our stories, the very thing we think is uncommon, that ma...
278: Co-Creating with Your Audiences with Shannon Hughes
May 24, 2022 09:00 - 32 minutes - 45.5 MBI took an improv class a couple of years ago and it has been incredibly helpful to me as a speaker, so much so that I had the attendees at our recent in-person client retreat do some improv games (they appreciated it, I swear!). Improv is not only useful for getting into your body as a speaker on a stage; improv is also a philosophy of engagement, vulnerability, and co-creation. This is what I talk about with my guest Shannon Hughes in this episode. Shannon melds business strategy with i...
277: The Authority Gap Women Face and What to Do About It with Mary Ann Sieghart
May 17, 2022 09:00 - 47 minutes - 65.2 MBI’m going to start this podcast with a bit of a controversial question: Why do we (and, yes, I said we) often feel much more uncomfortable having a woman in a position of authority than we do men? My guest Mary Ann Sieghart is a London-based journalist and broadcaster and author of the new book “The Authority Gap: Why women are still taken less seriously than men, and what we can do about it.” The authority gap isn’t just a challenge of how men see women but also how we as women see other ...

I’ve gotten to know Melissa over the past few months as she’s gone through our Thought Leader Academy to develop her speaking skills and create her keynote signature talk.

274: The Key to Booking More Speaking Engagements with Sarah Lynn Wallace
April 26, 2022 09:00 - 38 minutes - 53.7 MBSpeaking opportunities are increasing as more events and conferences are returning to in-person and organizations are looking to bring in trainers. Now is the time to get prepared and take action. This is exactly what our guest, Sarah Lynn Wallace, has been doing as she’s been going through our Thought Leader Academy this year.

There are ...
273: How to 10x Your Speaking Skills
April 19, 2022 09:00 - 27 minutes - 38.7 MBIf you’re a speaker who has in-person events coming up OR if you’re planning an in-person event, you won’t want to miss this conversation. We held our in-person client retreat speaking intensive a couple of weeks ago in Orlando, Florida, and it was incredible! We brought 12 women together to practice their speaking delivery skills (on a real stage!) and get professional videography they can use in their speaking reels. I asked two of the women who attended, Betsy Jordyn and Joy Spencer...
272: The Business Case for Speaking and Thought Leadership with Carol Cox
April 12, 2022 09:00 - 22 minutes - 39.4 MBAs entrepreneurs, we have a lot on our plate and fitting in the time to build our thought leadership platforms, create presentations, and pitch ourselves can too often get relegated to the back burner. However, if you’re a service-based entrepreneur who is not a volume business (you’re not looking for thousands of clients at a time), you need speaking and thought leadership to grow your business. The other thing you need is to say “yes” to opportunities even when you don’t feel prepared ...
271: Providing Transformation vs. Information with Carol Cox
April 05, 2022 09:00 - 17 minutes - 27 MBAre you providing transformation or information in your presentations and talks? Whenever I work on a presentation or a keynote or even the agenda for the in-person client retreat we’re holding in April, my default is to think of all the information I want to convey to the audience. You may be the same way. We’re usually good at coming up with lots of things we can share and teach. But, I want to challenge you (like I challenge myself) to reduce the information and increase the transfo...
270: The Hub and Spokes of Your Thought Leadership Message with Christie Rocha
March 29, 2022 09:00 - 34 minutes - 47.8 MBWhen you start putting your thought leadership out into the world, think of your overall message as the hub. You then have various spokes you can use to share the message and get others involved. These spokes can include your own podcast; a LinkedIn Live or Instagram Live show; a challenge; speaking (of course!); podcast guesting; and events you host. My guest Christie Rocha recently graduated from our Thought Leader Academy and we worked together on her thought leadership message and he...
269: Creating a Memorable "Bit" for Your Keynote Speech with Nicole Edwards
March 22, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 37.3 MBAs you’re working on your keynote speech (or aspiring to one), there are key elements to include that make it different from a regular business presentation or training. Along with stories and audience engagement (always!), you can also create what’s known as a “bit.” This is a section of your keynote, usually just a few minutes long, that stands out and becomes memorable for the audience. My guest Nicole Edwards recently graduated from our Thought Leader Academy and we worked together t...
268: Using a Signature Talk for Lead Generation with Kelley Carlstrom, PharmD
March 15, 2022 09:00 - 37 minutes - 52.8 MBWhat does it look like to create your signature talk and put it out there for the first time? Our guest, Kelley D.

267: The Way to Gender Equality is through Public Speaking with Carol Cox (#IWD)
March 08, 2022 10:00 - 13 minutes - 22 MBToday, March 8, is International Women’s Day. This year’s theme is Break the Bias. I appreciate that on the IWD website, they write, “Celebrating women's achievements and increasing visibility, while calling out inequality, is key.” In this episode, I share the premise of the book I’m working on around the importance of women being public speakers as a way to advance women in leadership and gender equality and a new model of public speaking. What if I told you that the key to being mo...
266: How I've Found and Used My Voice with Carol Cox
March 01, 2022 10:00 - 21 minutes - 32.9 MBIn this episode, I share 3 ways public speaking has helped me to find and use my voice and the lessons I’ve learned along the way that may help you too. I take a broad view of public speaking = stages, in front of audiences, on TV, in the media, also virtual presentations and podcasting, live streaming, video. Public speaking, in all of these ways, helps you to get your message out, to share your thought leadership ideas, and to have a bigger impact. It’s also an incredible way for more ...

February 22, 2022 10:00 - 17 minutes - 27 MBWe’re wrapping up the month of February talking about how we as speakers can love our audiences. Why is this important? Because the more connected the people in our audience feel to us and to each other, the more impactful and memorable our presentations and talks will be. And here’s the thing about loving our audiences: it’s about relationship, which is much different from the standard approach to public speaking which tends to put all of the spotlight on the speaker. In this episo...

263: Finding the Emotional Heart of Your Message with Carol Cox
February 08, 2022 10:00 - 16 minutes - 23.1 MBSince we’re in the month of February, I figured it was a good time to talk about finding the emotional heart of your message. As speakers, we can get so focused on the information we want to share that we neglect emotions and feelings and making a heart-to-heart connection with the people in our audiences. If you want your talk to be memorable and impactful and you want to become a keynote speaker, be on bigger stages, deliver a powerful TEDx talk, you need to have an emotional heart to ...
262: The Four Layers of Thought Leadership with Carol Cox
February 01, 2022 10:00 - 23 minutes - 32.8 MBI remember last year I was doing some research and I googled “famous thought leaders.” Guess what the results were? All men. Now, we know there are women thought leaders: Brene Brown, Mel Robbins, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Minda Harts all come to mind. But, Google hasn’t caught on yet. Why not? Because we need MORE women thought leaders to flood the zone. This is where you come in and this is why I’ve been talking a lot on the podcast about thought leadership and the role it plays in your ...
261: Closing the Gender Speaking Gap with Kristin Oakley
January 25, 2022 10:00 - 36 minutes - 51.2 MBYou won't want to miss the story I share in this episode that made me so mad at the time. About 5 years ago, I was attending an event run by a very prominent women's organization and I couldn't believe who they had on stage. Here's a hint: It has to do with our topic today, which is the gender speaking gap. Similar to the gender pay gap, the gender speaking gap represents the disparity between the number of women and men we see speaking at events, from high-profile keynotes to panel di...
260: Self-Doubt Happens: Here's What I Do with Carol Cox
January 18, 2022 10:00 - 15 minutes - 22.2 MBOne of the side effects of going bigger with your message and putting yourself out there is self-doubt. Even when you’re excited about what you’re working on, self-doubt can creep in. Self-doubt can masquerade as procrastination, boredom, shiny object syndrome, distractions, filling up your to-do lists and calendar, even deciding to clean those areas of the house that never get cleaned. Self-doubt can also keep you stuck and not developing further as an entrepreneur, speaker, and thoug...
259: Connecting Your Business and Your Thought Leadership with Carol Cox
January 11, 2022 10:00 - 27 minutes - 41.9 MBHow is your thought leadership message connected to your business? Should it be related? I look at it this way: Thought leadership is the personal WHY to the WHAT (vision) and HOW (mission) that you have for your business. Think of your thought leadership as a parallel track to your business; it’s WHY you do what you do. I talk about thought leadership because it’s the way to get more of what you want: better speaking engagements, including paid ones, plus the way to reach more people ...

January 04, 2022 10:00 - 20 minutes - 28.1 MBHappy New Year! This is the 4th year in a row I’ve done a trends episode for the start of the year. What I mean by trends are not fads or cliches or gimmicks. Trends are like currents or waves of energy that move through our society and affect everything from business and politics and the economy to popular culture and media. How do these trends impact our public speaking and thought leadership? As speakers and leaders, our talks and messages have more of an impact if our audiences...

254: What Your List Wants from Your Emails with Kate Doster [The Medium is the Message Series]
December 07, 2021 10:00 - 37 minutes - 51.8 MBWhat does the *medium* of email want in order to be the most effective? What do *we* want when we look through our inboxes? The answers surprised me! We’ve heard for years that it's important to build our email list. Unlike social media platforms, you own your email list and can communicate with the people on it directly, without the filters of algorithms. However, just because someone is on your email list, that doesn’t mean they’re opening your emails, much less reading them and...
253: TV Can Make You Famous - But Don't Read the Comments with Dr. Christina Madison [The Medium is the Message Series]
November 30, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 85.3 MBIf you’ve ever thought that you’d like to be on TV as a contributing expert - or if you think you’re not qualified (you are!) - you’ll get so much out of this episode. We’re continuing our series “The Medium is the Message” and in this episode we’re focusing on TV as a platform that can quickly propel your visibility and credibility. Since 2005, I’ve appeared (too many times to count) on Orlando-area news stations as a Democratic political analyst. Being on TV can turn you into a mini-...
