Power To Speak with Confidence. Conversations that will inspire and empower.

In this episode of Speaking About Speaking, I spoke with Master Practitioner in Mindful Eating, author of Boosting Breakfasts, podcaster, online course creator and speaker, Lori Weber.

As well as running the Mindful Eating Clinic, Lori, founded Perfect Pitch in October 2003 and works with leading associate companies in the training and development arenas.

Her dual background in performing arts & a number of business roles has equipped her with the skills and creativity to get the best out of people.

This was an interesting conversation! 

We discussed how a good speaker knows how to use pitch, pace and pause and how beneficial it is to anyone who needs to speak for their work to bite the bullet and attend a drama class. As I always say, actors' training is fundamental to confident communication, self-awareness and life in general! 

Plus, how you can amplify yourself to elevate your business and how you become a great podcast guest.

Enjoy. 😊

I have followed Lucy since I was recommended and bought her Confidence on Camera digital course back at the beginning of the lockdown (as did thousands of others).

I took on her challenges and tuned into her 'how to create a course' webinars, filmed in her spare room once her son was in bed and whilst wearing some very comical hats!

I've been inspired by her journey and success and am SO chuffed that she took the time to speak to me. 🙏🏼

Lucy helps people to live more, and work less. Her courses including Confidence on Camera have sold over 50,000 to date. She helps turn knowledge and experience into memberships and digital courses. She writes and talks about how to create passive income so that you can spend more time with those you love, doing what you love.

As a former TV journalist, she spent years working in Asia and the Middle East. In our extraordinary conversation, she tells me what it was like to be a woman in a war zone, reporting from the likes of Ukraine and Myanmar.

We also chat about life as an Airbnb host, a life and business coach and the creator of the highly successful Confidence on Camera online course.

She shares some truly amazing stories with me for the podcast but also more widely to her social media community.

Speaking About Speaking Meets Digital Circus LIVE

The first ever S.A.S. as a panel discussion.

And thank you to all the guests that popped in for a chat on my live stream which I re-titled for the day.

They were Tour Guide to Your Mind, Vanda Varga, Queen of Calm, Louise Miller and Web3 guru, Steen Stones. It was my first attempt at a round table discussion and I think it worked bloomin' well! We discussed the highs and lows of running workshops and speaking at virtual events, the best advice we've been given as speakers, self-awareness, being present and community! 

A jam-packed 30 mins.

With me for this previous LIVE stream is Speaker, LinkedIn guru and founder of Much MoreSocial, Ella Orr.

Ella, a former teacher of 30 years, retrained as a social media marketer and personal brand specialist.

As part of her own personal brand journey, she decided to share her experience, knowledge and story by creating (with a little bit of help from me) a Signature Talk. And since first stepping on a stage a year ago hasn't looked back, speaking to audiences online and in person.

I'm looking forward to finding out how she found the process and how she feels being in front of an audience. Also, asking whether it's helped her business and what advice she can give to help others. 😊

Speaking About Speaking (S.A.S.) is a weekly opportunity for me and another fabulous speaker or speaker coach to discuss all things speaking.

Except for this previously LIVE episode, it was just ME, Jackie Goddard.

I decided that at the end of every 6-week block of LIVES, I would take over the 30-minute slot to answer questions from anyone out there that would like like to know my take on speakers, speaking, how to prep and how to perform.

This was my first solo performance. 😱  It was totally interactive and so there were questions like: How do you cope with nerves when talking to strangers at networking or in a social situation, and how do you deal with interruptions during a presentation?

All fabulous questions but in true Blue Peter style I had a list of my top 10 tips on how to build your public speaking confidence that I'd prepared earlier!
