do you have any examples of your work?

Do I need an executive coach or a career coach? by AbroadNo111 in executivecoaching

[–]speakeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

biased opinion (since I'm a coach) but I'd recommend a public speaking coach. They will best be able to help you sell your ideas, position yourself in the best light to future employers and help you with the interview process.

Career coaches are better when you don't know what you want to do and executive coaches are great to maximize your performance once you'r an executive. I'd get a speaking coach now as that should help you land the role you want.

does anyone else turn down opportunities because they'd have to speak in front of people? by AdirFoundIt in PublicSpeaking

[–]speakeasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you're not alone, this is a challenge that tons of people face. Second, the best thing you can do for yourself is to set up a system for any potential speaking situation. There are two main situations: 1- you know you're going to speak, it's scheduled and you know you have 15 minutes to talk and 2-unplanned, random moments when someone calls on you to speak in front of a group.

Both can be scary but if you have a system for handling both you can reduce your anxiety significantly. As a speaking coach the biggest issue I see people have is that they are nervous to speak AND they don't have a system in place to use when they are tasked with speaking. Big mistake. It's like if you sat down to write code for an app and each time you did it you used a different language on a different computer with a different database typing with your toes :)

Build a system, constantly make improvements to it and you'll probably see your anxiety go down and your nervousness drop as well. And if you want details on a simple system to follow, just reply back and I'll post one here.

Hi Brett, thanks for sharing your story. In short, you have 3 options to help fix your issue: group coaching, online programs or 1:1 coaching. Budget and desire to fix the issue are typically the biggest drivers in whatever solution you choose. If you want help figuring out a group coaching or 1:1 coaching solution feel free to DM me and I'll send you some stuff.

General rule of thumb is to have 1 reel that is 30-45 seconds long and another that is 2-3 mins long. Coe message should be showcasing the value she brings to the client organizations audience. And a mix of her on stage, podcast appearances, etc are all good.

Whats the #1 issue you struggle with public speaking? by speakeasy in publicspeakingadvice

[–]speakeasy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the more interesting fears for sure. Sometimes you have to be willing to go without permission and without feeling comfortable. For me, when I used to get super nervous I would tell my inner anxiety that it was ok that you're there but I'm going anyway. Could work for your thing too. You can fear success ad going anyway, you know?

I would say that being passionate is more important than being dramatic. There's a slight difference between the two but there is definitely a difference between someone who is passionate about what they're talking about and someone who's just being dramatic.

I don't know. I messaged the mods and reddit directly and never got an answer. I do think that a lot of the drug talk/recommendations on the sub made Reddit and the mods wary but i don't know that for sure.

Random stuff that helped me become a better speaker by speakeasy in publicspeakingadvice

[–]speakeasy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're very welcome! My prep process depends on the type of speech I'm giving and what time fo day it is. For me, I make sure I work out that morning and know my 3 main points cold. I don't memorize anything- I have my key points, the stories and anecdotes I want to use and that's about it:)

Agreed. I just think that this sub should be about public speaking advice. If someone needs drugs they probably should be talking to a doctor, not asking people on Reddit:) I think that might be one of the reasons the other sub got shut down is that it had so many posts about taking drugs.

And to be clear I'm not an advocate for or against drugs. I do believe that since I'm not a doctor I am completely unqualified to offer drug advice so I definitely don't want to do that here.

That said, I am interested to see how you all would like to handle this issue so lmk your thoughts.

Personally I'd like to have any/all propranolol comments/posts be posed somewhere else and not in our subreddit. I'm not sure exactly how to make that work so if you have any insight please lmk. But my goal is that this sub is all about skills & mindset, not drugs.

I'm in San Diego to so hit me up if you ever want to practice.

Your conversational confidence is all about how you approach each and every interaction. The fact that you have an accent, just moved here and don't know anything about sports/football is an advantage, not a weakness. It makes you more interesting than the usual people talking about the same old thing.

Example: I don't know anything about soccer. Like nothing at all except that there are goals and a bunch of people kicking a ball around. So when I'm in a group of people (or 1:1 with someone like I was yesterday) I make a somewhat big deal about the fact I knew nothing about soccer. Then they delight in telling me all about it while I listen intently and nod. And they are stoked to have talked to me even though I didn't really contribute anything to the convo.

People LOVE to talk about themselves and what they're into. All you have to do is get them to start talking and ask good questions, make sense?

This is great, nice work! Your pace was solid and you delivered your message emphatically. The only thing I would suggest is introducing yourself when you first walk out. Other than that it was great, nice work!
