Ep 96: Why Talent Isn’t Enough
This episode is for the exceptionally talented person in their industry who has been grinding away in their business doing incredible work. I’m willing to bet you're probably your industry's best-kept secret. You want to use speaking for business but remain hidden behind the scenes because you’re waiting for opportunities rather than seeking them out. I happen to know that some of the greatest talents in all of our industries are sitting dormant instead of driving change and sharing incredible messages. They have their heads down grinding away on the day to day operations but haven't stepped up on a big stage because they’re waiting to be asked. It’s time to stop selling yourself short! Today we're going to have a little conversation about where talent and exposure need to intersect to effectively use speaking for business because I know that you have so much to be proud of, so much to share with the world and so much value to bring to people.
