Getting Past Small Talk in Networking with Johanna Walker

It’s amazing to meet people who feel one hundred percent calm and confident on stage, but who feel timid and uncertain in smaller, unstructured settings. Johanna Walker is a speaking and storytelling coach in Boulder, Colorado. Listen to how she describes her work and the beliefs that drive it: “I crack open opportunities for people to experience pure, raw truth, then watch them nail their presentations and watch their careers and their lives soar. I believe everyone has a story that can make a difference in someone's life. I believe that no matter what message you're trying to convey, you won't get anywhere till you truly connect with your audience. I believe in the power of bringing your whole body & voice & breath & heart into the room, and speaking from there without apology, even when the idea of it scares the bejeezus out of you. I believe when you walk right up to your fear and shake its hand, tectonic shifts happen----in your life, your relationships, your business, your world.” I asked Johanna to bring some of the lessons she teaches about presenting onstage and to translate them for a different platform - the networking event.
