Episode takeaways you don’t want to miss:
It is important that you select the right topic when you speak at events. Find what works for you and your business.
You are representing your brand on the stage - own it and serve them in a way that feels good to YOU!
Ask a lot of questions! It’s important for us to know as much as possible about the event, our audience and the organizer’s goals before we ever start working on our presentation (really, before we even say yes to the opportunity).
Dedicate enough time to prepare your content for your presentation. Ensure that your content addresses your audiences pain points and delivers a transformation.
