176 || [Pivot Session] Listening to the Cues That Will Help You Pivot || Katie Bulmer

Send us Fan Mail Katie Bulmer is host of the Truth for Your Twenties Podcast, a speaker to over 30 colleges nationwide and passionate about helping sorority women unlock their world-changing power. The heart behind her dream is to be who she needed when she was a young woman looking for happiness in the arms of boys, Bacardi, and attempts to be beautiful.   When the pandemic hit the U.S. in the spring, Katie’s scheduled speaking engagements at nearby colleges came to an abrupt halt. Her hope, like most of us, was that by fall things would be back to normal, college students would return in person to campuses, and her speaking career could resume. As we all know now, that wasn’t the case. Instead of letting the circumstances deal a fatal blow to her speaking career, Katie investigated what her target market needed most in the current moment and engaged them in conversations to come up with creative solutions. Those early decisions to adapt instead of quitting doubled her speaking engagements for the year, now in a virtual format, and opened the doors to dozens more campuses able to invite her to share her message via Zoom. I love this woman and her ambition, creativity, and energy so much – even if public speaking isn’t your thing, there’s so much you can glean from this quick 20-minute conversation. Listen and learn as she shares about: Trying new things, taking risks, and listening to what her audience needed most, Letting her true self shine through in her speaking, The value of the bite-sized message, and Just starting even when you don’t know what you’re doing.
