Are you an entrepreneur or coach struggling to get clients? You may not see yourself as a public speaker, but if you want to be a thought leader, make an impact in the world, and have people follow you and work with you, you need to use your voice – and that means you ARE a public speaker!

Showing your face and sharing your stories regularly is essential if you want to build a loyal audience that buys your products and signs up for your services.

“People are deciding whether or not we are for them based on how we show up for them in the every day.”

Sally Zimney

Quotes:

“Our relationship with fear changes. As we build more self trust. And so that’s my goal as a coach is to help build the sense of self assurance. I can do this. I’ve been here before I can handle difficult things, even if it doesn’t go perfectly, it’s gonna be okay.”

“We just build a different level of tolerance for that fear so much so that it doesn’t feel like fear anymore. It starts to feel more like what I call excitement. It’s the same physiological response happening in our bodies.”

“The words are a part of it, but the way in which the words are expressed is where the power comes from. And that is all about your body. So we want to sync those up.“
