Pro Tips to Become A PAID Speaker & Own Every Stage (Including Social Media) with Judi Holler

from Earn Your Happy · host Lori Harder | YAP Media

I used to be terrified of speaking on stage. The fear, the pressure, the what-if-I-fail thoughts all used to paralyze me. In this episode, I sit down with Judi Holler, keynote speaker and creator of Speaker School. We talk about how to move through fear, build confidence, and actually get paid to share your message. She shares the tools she used to go from rock bottom to sold-out stages, how to expand your comfort zone, and the mindset shifts that help you own the room. I also share an embarrassing story about the time I tried to pitch Oprah.
