Thanks to all who showed for today’s workshop! As Brave Academy evolves and more of you are ready to develop and share your story, we’re going to need practice and feedback sessions. 1:1 coaching is great for that, but so will the “Fireside Feedback” sessions I’ll be putting on the calendar. Your talks need to get out in the open and be rehearsed and developed to make your time speaking as impactful as possible. Not only that, but getting the chance to get true constructive feedback is an excellent way to build up your brave and help others do the same. You don’t have to deliver the be all end all talk of your life right away. Just get things out, see how it feels, then work with it, or try something else! This is as much a process of self discovery as it is one of public visibility. Try out the 5 minute Talk Chat GPT tool I created to get you moving. Link in the comments!

I just scheduled a session to help a new business owner with her with her plans for going live on social media. After my 90 live videos in 90 days challenge a couple of years ago - I demolished my nerves around going live. And I was a WRECK when I started. I just set up my studio to get back in the game literally THIS week. Want to learn more about how to approach this for your brand or business? Comment why you want to improve this skill.

Take a few minutes to be reminded of the power of your words, how long they can make an impact on others, and how you don’t have to be a perfectly composed speaker to touch many hearts and minds. Do you feel powerful? What does powerful mean to you?

I just created a new speech crafting tool for this month's Brave Beginner Speaker Series!! I would LOVE a few of you to test it out before the end of the week. Who's interested? Comment and say AYE! A 5 minute talk is the perfect way to get our feet wet. I sure hope y'all are up for a mini speaker summit by the end of the month. With all this support we're going to get you ready for the stage in 2025.
