Welcome back! A lot of us are terrified to look wrong or less than perfect. We waste precious time and miss out on great speaking opportunities because we're being overly perfectionist about selecting the right speaking topic. What if I told you that it's NOT your speaking topic that converts. It doesn't matter how good your talk is... it will only convert if it's being delivered in front of the right audience. Instead of spinning your wheels about a specific topic, focus on your people. Zero in on the audience you are meant to serve and love speaking to. Your topic will come to you a lot easier when you focus on their needs and goals. If you've been dragging your feet or making excuses about selecting the right speaking topic before you'll take action and your pitch yourself, tune in so we can break down those barriers.

If you loved this episode and it motivated you to add speaking to your business, please take the time to leave me some positive feedback on iTunes. I'd also love to hear about your biggest takeaway. Take a screenshot of you listening on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag us @thecreativespeakerpodcast.

 

Episode takeaways you don't want to miss:

  • You don't need to have a speaking topic nailed down to take action on a speaking opportunity
  • Why focusing on serving your audience will help you come up with the right speaking topic
  • The importance of getting in front of the right audience for conversions vs stressing over picking a topic that will resonate with an audience you weren't meant to serve and will never convert.

NATO’s Road to Madrid Center for Strategic and International Studies | CSIS Hosted by Max Bergmann, director of the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program, “NATO’s Road to Madrid” explores how the United States’ most important alliance is approaching a critical process it has not undertaken since 2010: updating its Strategic Concept. The last time NATO endorsed a formal strategy, Russia had not invaded Ukraine, China was not yet thought to be a challenge meriting NATO attention, and defense planners were only beginning to look at the military implications of climate change, hybrid warfare, and other challenges. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has underscored the enduring importance of NATO. This podcast series will examine all these subjects, as well as how challenges from inside the alliance complicate its ability to respond effectively. Along the way, the series will try to help make sense of the inner workings of NATO, which are often opaque from the outside. In each episode, the Fellows will speak to experts on each item on The Damnaliens Speak (to you) Steven Sawicki An irreverent book review podcast done by damn aliens who look at 4 recent books in the sci fi, fantasy, horror persuasion and share their particular insights. You never know what they are going to say although it's often pretty funny. Hear The Nobodies Speak Saurav Sen We are all used to hearing people who matter. People who are popular. People who have won. People who are rich and famous. People who are beautiful. People who are somebody. For a change, in this podcast, I speak to the other half -- the nobodies, who make the somebodies who they are, in comparative light! Calling from the Wilderness Derek Miller The religious stories we grow up with can too often become so familiar that we spend more time reading meaning into them instead of letting them speak into our lives. We want to recapture a space for the text to speak to us, so here we are...
