    Jackie Goddard explains how Acting training help you speak with confidence? #59

    In this previously live solo episode of Speaking About Speaking, I talk about my acting training and experience of being an actor. I explain how I use them to get clients comfortable with their content, confident in themselves and excited to be in front of their audience. I discuss the importance of a physical warm-up for your body and face, and how to breathe for performance. Why playing games builds trust and positivity and why fully owning your ‘back story’ helps you to speak confidently. I’ll also touch on Master Voice Teacher and author, Patsy Rodenberg’s concept of 2nd Circle energy and how you can use it to ‘reclaim your presence’. Fascinating stuff!

    How do you rebuild your confidence following a brain injury? Get on stage and speak about it! #58

    "The accident stripped my confidence." Alix is a freelance journalist, copywriter and certified cheese addict. She has a love for academics, having studied both journalism and law and having managed to combine the two – with one of her varied positions a media reporter for a criminal barrister on the island of Bermuda! Alix started out as a feature writer for lads’ mags in the early 2000s and learned early in her career that she had a knack for writing for very different audiences. From humorous articles one day, to in-depth white papers the next, she loves a writing challenge. Alix and I have met several times at You Are The Media events; I even gave her a very speedy hug at Creator Day this year as she attempted to break the most hugs in a minute world record (she came very close!) With her varied career and personal challenges, Alix has an incredible story that she wants (and should) share with the world. To that end, she has enrolled in my Speak Like a Speaker Club and very bravely put herself forward for Matt Denyer’s Failed Nights event next year, where she’ll speak for 15 minutes on her ‘failures’! Despite the title, it’s an uplifting and humorous event full of love and learning. (I spoke this year and had a riotous time!) This was a lively 30 minutes. Alix’s story despite the life-changing accident that nearly killed her is uplifting, humorous and inspiring.  To find out more about Alix go to https://alixking.com/ Connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alixkingcopywriter/ Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lixxxyloo/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://powertospeak.co.uk/newsletter/ If you’re completely lost when it comes to speaking to your audience let alone able to be persuasive then click the image to download my FREE guide to speaking with confidence: SPEAK WITH CONFIDENCE: The Ultimate Guide: https://subscribepage.io/speakwithconfidence 3 simple but effective steps to raise your confidence and prepare you for talking to your audience.

    Community IS the Business! Rosie Sherry explains how community is about connection and not ROI. #57

    "To be community-led is to have community at the centre of our decisions."  Rosie Sherry is the founder and CEO of the Ministry of Testing, the leading community of practice for software testing professionals. She’s an expert at community building and writes and researches around the subject via Rosie.land. She advocates for community building, indie-pendence for life choices, neurodivergence and home education. I saw Rosie on stage recently where she spoke about the importance of community and the role it plays in uniting people and shaping business. We discussed her obsession with community for connection rather than for ROI and how her community of software testers are asked to speak, sometimes for the first time to fellow members at the annual conference. Rosie lives in Brighton where she and her husband ‘unschool’ their 5 children and run their business and several successful communities! I’m exhausted just thinking about it! A fabulous conversation.

    Personal Branding saved my life and it can save yours! From lockdown refugee to founder. #56

    Rebecca Leppard is an Indonesian entrepreneur who transitioned from a high-powered corner office at a 5-star hotel to the fast-paced and dynamic world of tech and consulting in the UK. I first met Rebecca at a YATM Lunch Club and again when we were asked to speak at a Federation for Small Business event. Most recently Rebecca was on stage for the YATM Creator Day where she spoke about her journey from 5* Indonesian high-flyer to pandemic refugee, having to work her way back up from nothing when the world was in lockdown. It’s a fascinating story.   She founded Upgrading Women, a media company and marketing agency helping feminists in business go to market. The agency is a 15-women operation, each with her speciality from LinkedIn to podcasts to newsletters. From the agency's success, Rebecca launched Girl Brand Content Club, an affordable way for coaches and service providers to ‘steal’ her content marketing best practices. Alongside talking to Rebecca about how she ended up a refugee in lockdown with no Visa and no job, we discuss how speaking and entrepreneurial culture differs between Southeast Asia and the UK and how she’s rebranded and built a successful personal brand from nothing.

    How To Speak with Confidence and Get The Audience On Your Side. #55

    Positive persuasion takes sincerity, honesty, and respect. You need to communicate effectively and build rapport with your audience, whoever they are. In this Speaking About Speaking episode, I discuss how you can speak confidently and persuasively. As my friend and fellow speaker, Andrew Thorp says, we are all in the persuasion business. Whenever we speak, we hope to influence, build trust, and create emotional bonds, whether for business, a relationship or as a parent but how do we do that without crossing over to the dark side of manipulation and arrogance? I start the episode by sharing my 5 top tips on speaking with confidence... 1. Believe what you are saying. 2. Breathe 3. Be prepared 4. Vocal variety 5. Tell a story And then I talk about the devices and techniques we can use to influence and persuade, in a good way. 😊 Here are links to techniques I mentioned in the video: Belly Breathing: https://youtu.be/ajYXuhlEndY Box Breathing: https://youtu.be/n-FyY1qdyTQ Barbara McAfee TEDx: https://youtu.be/Ze763kgrWGg?si=p4fDrNMtPZWXc7cq To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://powertospeak.co.uk/newsletter/ And subscribe to the channel for more tips and techniques on how to get excited to speak to your audience.

    How do you sell your sizzling hot offer? Know your audience! #54

    My guest for this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking is coaching offer expert, Sales & Marketing Strategist and B2B Speaker, Janine Coombes. Janine’s speciality is in positioning services and helping coach- shaped clients create sizzling hot offers. For me though it’s her love of performing (she used to have a covers band!) and comedy which shines through her always colourful, sometimes irreverent and often hysterical posts on social media that makes her so watchable. With over 15 years of industry experience including working with big brands like Orange, EE and Europcar, Janine has also delivered many engaging talks both on and offline including Atomicon, You Are The Media, Elevate and MarketEd.Live. We obviously discuss her madcap videos, dressing up as characters and her love of improv but she also shares her best speaking advice, how she found self love through LinkedIn video and how you don't have to be a performer to sell your offers - but it helps! Find Janine at: https://janinecoombes.co.uk/ You can sign up for her free workshop on Thursday 13 June here: https://janinecoombes.co.uk/coaching-sales-workshop/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://powertospeak.co.uk/newsletter/ And subscribe to the channel for more tips and techniques on how to get excited to speak to your audience.

    Speak With Confidence: Tell your story, in your voice and in a way that’s comfortable for you. #53

    At the end of last year Brand Strategist, Podcast Host, and Founder of Brand Compass, Shelley Röstlund asked me to help her prepare for a talk she’d been asked to give on stage to an audience of 200 peers for You Are the Media Creator Day in Poole, Dorset in April. She’d been on stage before but found it uncomfortable, so much so she couldn’t even remember the experience. She explained during a conversation we had for this podcast in February how she was terrified of the ‘bobbing’ heads beyond the lights! Well, she did it! I was there and can report, that in fact - she smashed it! Even better than that, she remembers the whole experience and she had some amazing feedback (she got mobbed in the ladies after!) This conversation was our first chance to have a full debrief about the day, the talk and the aftermath. We discuss the process I took her through. From ‘pulling out’ the stories that were relevant and would resonate with the audience to getting her past ‘uncanny valley’. Shelley underlines the importance of storytelling for your personal brand. It was also something that she took away from our work together. The quality of conversations she had after the event surprised her. In our conversation she tells me she’s learnt not to edit those stories because you don’t know what will ultimately resonate with the audience. She says, ‘tell your story, in your voice and in a way that’s comfortable for you’. I couldn’t has said it better myself.   If you're about to give a talk or presentation and want to speak with confidence. Or if speaking to your audience is something you want to do more of, but fear is holding you back, then my conversation with Shelley is a must!   Find Shelley at: https://shelleyrostlund.com/ To find out more about Power To Speak coaching follow Jackie Goddard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiegoddardpowertospeak/ Or message her through the website: www.powertospeak.co.uk For tips and techniques on improving your public speaking and getting in front of your audience, sign up for the fortnightly Power To Speak newsletter: https://powertospeak.co.uk/newsletter/ And subscribe to the channel for more tips and techniques on how to get excited to speak to your audience.
