This was a great conversation with Kathryn Yarborough because I had questions. We talked about payment or paying for speaking engagements, we talked about whether or not to use slides. We talked about the time involved. We talked about the backgrounds of speaking, and she had a lot of great advice and perspective on how she runs her. Speaking and what she's done and things that we can think about.Enjoy the episode!Timeline01:20 Getting to Know Kathryn03:29 Kathryn's Sweet Spot04:48 Hosting Summits: Kathryn's Passion08:15 The Women Loving Life Summit Series09:36 The Origin of 'Small Business Sweet Spot'11:47 Benefits of Speaking for Small Businesses14:37 Getting Started with Speaking19:32 Engaging Your Ideal Audience21:25 Payment for Speaking Engagements26:41 Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking28:53 Effective Use of Slides and Backgrounds34:13 Optimal Presentation Lengths37:25 Final Thoughts and Takeaways👉 For all the links and resources mentioned in this episode, check out the supporting blog post here.Stop second-guessing your to-do list and grab the Marketing Energy Matrix to focus on the tasks that actually get you results. 👉 ⁠⁠⁠https://compassdigitalstrategies.com/digital-marketing-services/marketing-energy-matrix/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Peek inside my toolbox for all my tools.⁠⁠⁠Visit ⁠⁠⁠Episodes I Like Playlist⁠⁠⁠ for other recommended episodes I've enjoyed.🗞️ Like newsletters?⁠⁠⁠ Digital Marketing Takeaway⁠⁠⁠About This ShowSmall Business Sweet Spot is a podcast show created by Compass Digital Strategies LLC.
