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

The 4 February was World Cancer Day and so my guest for this episode, like me has fought cancer.

MMS founder, Patrick Melville uses his experience to help companies and individuals with their marketing and mental health.

He has a passion to take away mental health stigma and help others avoid burnout caused by work and personal trauma.

We discussed how he approaches uncomfortable subjects in his talks and presentations and how sharing through speaking and storytelling can relieve stress and give new perspectives to difficult conversations.

Speaking and listening are vital tools that Patrick uses in his work as a mental health first aider.

In this previously LIVE episode, I will be speaking about speaking with guest communication skills trainer & business storyteller, Andrew Thorp.

Bring along your question and interact!

My guest for this episode calls herself a Creativity Doula. It describes what Hollis Citron does beautifully.

But what is a Creativity Doula?

Listen to the episode to find out, of course, but in a nutshell, Hollis helps her clients 'birth' their creativity. She gives them permission and support to express themselves creatively.

A former art teacher, turned coach, multi-book author, publisher and host of the Creative Conversations podcast, she is on a mission to make creativity accessible to everyone and is passionate about helping people build the confidence to recognise, encourage, and express the innate creativity that they are born with. And she believes as do I that Creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush.

There is SO much synergy between Hollis and me that our conversation was a joy. We cover all things creative (obviously) but we also talked about parenting, labels, sharing stories and finding your voice.

And her definition of Creativity is profound!

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

In this previously LIVE episode, I spoke about speaking with Brian Hilliard, a Popular Speaker, Coach & Author of the Best-Selling Book “Networking Like a Pro!”

Since 2001, Brian has written 7 books, created 200 podcasts, and has spoken at literally hundreds of business meetings and conferences across the US on Marketing, Mindset & Personal Achievement.

Brian also discusses what meeting planners are looking for and the 6 groups that hire paid speakers.

There is so much valuable information in our conversation if you are looking to get paid to speak.

My guest is an online course mentor and former BBC comedy writer, Glen Long.

Currently, Glen is an online course mentor, helping individuals and small teams to create effective and engaging courses, cutting through the hype that surrounds online courses.

Before that, he was the "Course Creation Guy" for a 7-Figure Entrepreneur creating courses that generated over $1 million in revenue and served 1,000+ paying students.

And before that, he was a Writer, Editor and Producer for BBC Comedy Online and worked with new writers and performers to create viral comedy videos.

We had a fabulous conversation about his very interesting career to date. Talk about the career ladder as a jungle gym! Glen's path has not been a straight line.

We start with the Footlights at Cambridge University, and his (our) experiences at the Edinburgh Fringe (we both performed at the Bedlam Theatre there).

Then how he pitched comedy ideas (good and bad!) to the BBC, with some success.

Before moving on to his very successful online course creating career. If you have an interest in creating a course yourself then you really should have a listen.

Mark England is a TEDx Speaker and Co-founder and Head Coach of Enlifted. He has been researching, coaching and presenting on the power of language and identity for the past 15 years.

Believe me when I say this was a fascinating conversation!

Mark is a language expert and we discuss how the words used can define us and how we influence others. He shows me how, with subtle changes in the way we speak, we can transform our lives and relationships.

We also, discuss victim mentality, imposter syndrome and the pillars of architect language - projection, negation and soft talk.

Plus, Mark explains the actual meaning of those magic words Abracadabra and Spell, and how we should for the sake of our own well-being stop hoarding our stories.

In Mark’s TEDx talk, he addresses the power of words as a tool for change in perception and he describes his own penny-drop moment.
