to know each other it's one of the
reasons why i love that pegina signed me
this
because i get to meet all these powerful
women so why don't
you begin by telling me and those who
may not know you who are part of this
wonderful growing community
a little bit about you so we get to know
you
a little bit about me yes i
am a speaking coach and corporate
trainer and i work with
business leaders and non-profit leaders
and
people who want to learn how to engage
their audiences better
in order to grow their reputation their
credibility
and their influence through speaking
that's the job
that's the work and uh and
personally i live in a little tiny town
called ojai
california and some people have heard of
it because um there were some things
filmed here i think brothers and sisters
was filmed here
and um the byron katie institute is here
a lot of very
spiritual things happen here so some
people have heard of it and if you're
anywhere in southern california
you know about it so it's a lovely
little very
green very nature
oriented town and i live here with my
famous cats benjamin and ernie

sherry
i see sherry just popped in awesome i'm
glad that you're seeing that
um great so you mentioned that you help
um those who want to get in the speaking
business or those who are speaking
who exactly is your ideal uh
yeah my ideal client is a business or a
non-profit leader
um an entrepreneur
uh a person who is management or
executive level in a company
i do work with some professional
speakers just because i've met so many
through nsa that i do work with
professional speakers but that's not my
target audience my target audience is
people who are
wanting to grow their business their
organization their their influence their
credibility
and that kind of thing through speaking
so most of the people i work with
do conference speaking or speak
at uh you know business type
events i love that i love that so you
have a very nice
niche there i love that yes yes yes yes
i wish i had met you last year would
have invited you to our strategic growth
summit because we were actually
uh teaching um
business owners who were not speakers
how to leverage speaking next time you
do it now you know
now this year we're doing it but we
already got all the speakers too for
this shoes but this year we're targeting
actually speakers
so we're going to be actually using
speakers but i'm this is why this is
good because
yeah now i know and of course
i also downloaded your freebie which i
know we're going to talk about before
the
this and before we end today because
i download and i thought wow this is
some good resources that you're giving
away so we definitely want to make sure
that those are shared i just posted it
in the facebook comments
awesome great awesome yes and i love
your pictures i have to say
i love your pictures they're just so
happy pictures they're happy
i'm just a goofball what can i say
but i love it and now you know i've been
watching your post
because i know you had a little accident
and yet i see that you are working
just as hard or it appears as though
you're still
working is that true i am still working
so for those who are watching who don't
know this although i think most of you
do by now
on the fourth of july i broke my right
leg
uh falling down the stairs in my home it
was it was pretty gory it was an open
fracture
uh i broke my tibia and my fibula in
three different places
had to crawl on the floor to get to my
phone to call 9-1-1
and then to crawl to the door to unlock
it to let the emts in because my husband
was at work
so it was very dramatic and i had
surgery the next day they put in a rod
and screws
and then three weeks later discovered
that i had also broken my left foot in
the fall but
nobody had ever x-rayed it so
i have been on the couch for seven and a
half weeks
and getting around on a walker and um
you know doing physical therapy going to
millions of doctors appointments and
acupuncture and all that kind of stuff
and it's it's been rough but i have to
say just yesterday
i practiced at physical therapy walking
with a cane
and i'm about to switch over from the
walker to a cane
so i feel like my progress has been
really good considering the kind of
injury this was um but you know what i'm
a positive upbeat
person and um i'm an optimist
and i've also gotten so much support
from all of my friends and colleagues
uh to help with my healing and my pain
management and my
sleep and everything so i'm i think i'm
doing really well i think i might even
be a little bit
ahead of schedule um thanks laura
and um so because of that um i i will
tell you if you're gonna break a bone
and you have to sit on the couch for
weeks and weeks
covet is the best time i mean i'll i'll
be honest you know nobody was expecting
me to get on a plane
and uh and go do training anywhere
and so i've been doing all of my
training and my coaching
literally from the couch because my
office is upstairs
and i can go up and down the stairs on
my butt
but my husband does not allow me to do
that unsupervised and also i can't carry
my walker while i'm doing that
so once i get the cane i think i'm going
to be able to go up and down the stairs
by myself
we'll see if my husband approves that
he's very worried i'm going to fall
again so
that's why i'm sitting on the couch for
all of my meetings right now i've tried
to make my couch
area look look decent my office is
is a nicer place to have meetings but
it's amazing i've been able to do
all my work virtually and i really i
already was i mean i've been doing my
work virtually for years
but i was really forced to
adapt the virtual mindset uh because i
don't have a choice
so yeah that's what i've been up to i
applaud you
i applaud you i've been looking at you
and i'm like how does she do it
and then of course uh over a week ago
i was sitting here working my leg fell
asleep i didn't realize that i got up
and i fell
so i cannot even imagine what you're
going through because i'm going to tell
you
just today i was telling one of my
coaches i am so
bored of having to and actually i've
been walking in this chair because my
my leg and then they gave me crutches
but i don't know how to walk with them
i'm worse with them in my
i'm and i discover that i'm out of shape
because
yes oh my goodness because i don't like
exercising and i told
one of my coaches today i said if
anything i've learned
that i do have to exercise because even
though i released a lot of weight over
the past year
i am in bad shape because
i i can't hop on the on the crutches so
i tell you i
admire you and i've been watching you
and i admire you for it number one
you look beautiful thank you you
are looking like you're fine
the background i love that background
because i love it red
i love that background my favorite
colors
me too so i salute you you are a power
woman and so
already today you have inspired me and i
want to thank you for that
thank you because i mean you had a
serious injury i've been hearing that
from a lot of people and i just feel
like this is just me
this is just the way i am um in life
uh but like you i'm not in great shape
and i have
i mean getting used to the walker at
first
my arms like well you know my arms are
like spaghetti
and i've had i've had to hop around on
one leg
and then once i discovered my foot was
broken i had to put a boot on the right
on the left foot
so then i couldn't really walk very well
with my left leg and ever my right leg
just
atrophied away you know it yeah being
out of shape it's
it's good to be in shape when you get an
injury uh already
but i'm gonna come out of this in better
shape then i went in like my
arms oh i don't know if you can see my
muscles my arms are getting
stronger from the walker and my physical
therapy is really helping a lot with
um i have a lot of scar tissue because
the way they put the rod in they put it
in through your knee
so my knee and my ankle both have a lot
of scar tissue as well
um i'm gonna be in better shape
after this is all over than i have been
in a couple years so
i don't advise getting
hurt in order to get yourself into shape
but you know like you you're discovering
evie
um when you have to hop around on
crutches and you have and everything
becomes
harder and more complicated you get
creative and you figure out and you
and you're probably going to go to
guessing you're going to go to physical
therapy too
you'll have to strengthen everything up
and you'll in the end of it you'll
you'll be like stronger than ever at
least that's what i'm telling myself
well i love your attitude and it's
interesting because i usually ask people
well how are they dealing
with this time how is their business
doing
but i mean on top of everything that has
been going on
you had this happen and yet what a great
example you are to all of us
you are cheerful you keep going you're
working
you're doing i i get your emails so and
i love getting your emails by the way
because you always got good stuff in
there you know and so i mean i applaud
you i'm serious because you are doing
a lot so a lot of people
may not have been ready for
coven 19 the pandemic and of course no
one is ever ready
to have an in-home accident
right i mean that you're never ready
so amidst all that that some people must
say
challenges how is it that you continue
succeeding and what kind of successes
have you
experienced in your business over the
past few months
it's funny that you mentioned that
actually um i've just posted a couple of
articles and i'm going to share this one
i posted this i posted it i just pasted
it into facebook the other day
but i'm going to share it here um the
article
is how to be comfortable with
uncertainty
and i've had some big revelations
due to breaking my leg and kind of
realizing
not just because of covid and not just
because of this
kind of historic election that's coming
up and and the racial unrest and all the
things that are happening in our country
but we uh we live in a time of
uncertainty every day every day of our
lives
is uncertain so i've been doing a lot
more reflecting and
thinking about that and writing about
these things
and today you know had another
kind of revelation um so the the current
campaign i'm working on is called
speaking up for change
some of you may have seen this the
hashtag is speaking up for change all
one word
and um
for me speaking up for change i actually
started this campaign last year and i
had a five day free challenge
for people to learn the the why what who
where
how and when of speaking up for change
but i realized we needed even more than
ever
this year so i've not only brought back
um
just the speaking up for change change
campaign but i've turned it into a
webinar
you know a 60-minute webinar to kind of
kick
people in the butt what is it you want
to speak about is it
the administration is it climate change
is it
uh you know racial um injustice what do
you want to speak about
and how can you get your voice
out there so i turned it into this
60-minute
webinar and it's going to be free [um, actually not free] i'm
going to do it next month
and i say next month knowing that that
really starts in a couple days it's not
going to be that soon maybe mid-month
but i wrote another article today about
this because a friend of mine was
talking about how
hopeless she feels about what's
happening in the world and how she feels
like it doesn't matter
what we say or what we do and i'm
i so disagree with that you know because
every time we speak up for change we
are influencing somebody we may only be
influencing one person and we may need
not even see it we don't
see the influence that we have in the
world
but we are we are influencing people so
i wrote this today so i wrote a second
article today which is the one about um
speaking up for change so i'm going to
get that one as well
and i'm going to post that here yes
awesome and you know
i can't wait to share it yeah it feeds
into what we need to do feeds right into
what we need to do right
and and actually i'm looking forward to
that like my friend was feeling really
hopeless and i totally get that
yeah yeah so anyway uh you all can read
my article i mean you can you can uh
it's
linked here you all can read it but um
yes we all get into the doldrums
from time to time but there is something
we can do we can take action
we can speak up for change and um
just feeling bad and wishing things
would change and hoping things would
change
that doesn't work well let me ask you
something i'm fired up let me ask you
something because that is something that
really
it kind of like moves me because
i'm wondering like
for me yeah i have a lot of things that
that i
believe in or disagree with but i'm
always
i don't like to shake things up i'm not
a which is weird i'm a power woman i'm
here with
begin she's fearless i do believe i'm
fearless i might not always be feisty
like she is
yes but when you say speaking up for
change um can you
give us one thing someone like me who
has strong
beliefs um but is also afraid of you
know
i don't like using the word afraid but i
don't like to stir things up let's just
say
it is absolutely yes it is
absolutely legitimate and i know a lot
of people who are
afraid and i mean i think afraid is a
good word i'm hesitant
resistant to speak up because we're
afraid that we will
lose clients or we won't get clients or
if you have a job that you know it'll
cause problems at your job
so first of all what i want to say is
do you want your clients and the people
that you work with and your colleagues
and the people
in the world to know who you really are
do you want them to know your authentic
self
for me my authentics i cannot hide my
authentic self
if i believe strongly in something i
have to say something about it that's me
that's my authentic self now the way we
go about saying those things
may be different for each person right
so for me
i'm pretty comfortable i'll put it right
out there biden harris 2020. you know
what i'm saying like i am perfectly
comfortable put
putting all like elections stuff out
there whatever
if you don't feel comfortable taking
making
a strong you know political statement
you don't have to but for example i'm
going to use kind of
the whole racial injustice issue as an
example
if you believe that
uh you know if you believe something
about whatever it is
uh black lives matter or if you want to
share something about
um uh protests
maybe you believe that um you know
non-violent protesting is a good thing
right there are always ways to say what
you want to say
and keeping it on the safe side so what
i do
is i go say i read an article or i see a
little
meme on instagram that i like and the
meme like i've just been posting memes
about voting
just little graphics that say vote
or um your voice matters
or um you know vote 2020 right
again you don't have to get political
yeah you don't have to say something
that you know is going to shake up the
world i think we probably all
agree that protesting
um or speaking up for what we believe in
in a non-violent
non-destructive manner is a good thing
so i think there are a lot of ways to
say what you want to say
safely then go find an article
or a meme or a a blog post or something
that you feel speaks to your belief
and share that you don't even have to
write anything i've been telling people
if you feel uncomfortable with this go
click the share button
on something you don't even have to
create it yourself you don't have to
write it
you have to make it from scratch well
you made me think
that i know that one of the things
because there's never enough time we're
down to five minutes but i know from one
thing is for sure that you and i will
continue talking and then i do a
live this tv show i call on thursdays at
seven
um after this one at seven pm and i'm
definitely going to invite you because i
think
that inviting you alone for me that's
gonna be courageous as you
and i allow you to speak but i think
it's important and you know maybe
you know a lot of the people that that i
deal with are general
business owners speakers consultants
coaches and
other types of business owners but i
definitely think that uh unlike
i'm liking what you're saying i also
believe in what we started talking about
which is
this idea and i've always told my
clients that are non-speakers coaches or
consultants that they should leverage
speaking so i definitely am going to
invite you to come to life is tv show uh
probably for next month hopefully
because i think that you have something
that people need to know people need to
know
how to leverage speaking and then of
course i definitely want you to speak
more about speaking your truth because
i think that is important and i think
that is something that
i myself and i'm glad that you know i i
was able to tell you here because i'm
sure other people feel like i do
you know you don't want to ruffle
anyone's feathers but i love these
athletes that you gave
i have one let me say one more thing
about that let me say one more thing
you all have a platform as a speaker and
i don't mean you need to speak about
this on stage
but you all have a platform people
expect you
to speak about things um because you're
on facebook you're on linkedin you're on
instagram
so it doesn't matter if you speak on
leadership you speak on customer service
you speak on
you know finance whatever it is people
expect you to use your platform to speak
about your topic
and apply it to current events people
want to know how your topic
applies to current events so again it
doesn't have to be shaking up things
or rocking the boat but how does your
topic apply to what's happening
right now that's what people want to
know and use your platform for that
i love that now talking about platform
and now i know
why you are part of the power women
elite and i know
now why picking attracted you you are
definitely a power woman
and i want to know how long have you
been a power woman elite and
what has being a member of this
prestigious
group the power women elite group has
done for you and your business
i feel like i joined the power women
elite after a few months
i didn't i'm not like a founding member
i don't think but i may have come in
i know that i came in after the first
event that peggy
had but i will tell you just being part
of
uh peggy and circle in turn i feel like
i'm yelling i know i get so excited
uh just being part of peggy's circle in
power women that we kind of started
together
uh after there were some nsa shakeups
so when pegin decided to start her own
power woman group in general i've been
there since the beginning
and then power women elite i came along
a little bit later
but i'll tell you the connection
that i get in this group the the
sisterhood
um the courage that i get to speak uh to
share
about problems and struggles that i'm
going through that i can't
talk about anywhere else and the amazing
ideas the amazing ideas that i get
from the power the elite group in
particular in our mastermind
i just and i and i can't always make it
to the meetings but
when i do i always get i always have all
these
notes and all these new things to try
and all these new ideas
um i just can't say enough about what i
get out of it when i when i am
able to be there but i know that even
when i can't come the sisterhood is
there for me
um the connection is there for me so i
really appreciate that
peggy and started this so i want to
thank you i want to make sure that you
mention
what you're offering today before we say
goodbye yes
you have a very special offer that i of
course took you up
on it right away so can you please
mention that so anyone thank you for the
reminder
it is and i did already post it yes
in the comments and i'm going to post it
again but what this is
um what i'm sharing is my free easy
speaker proposal template so this is
really this is good for professional
speakers it's also good for business
speakers
but it's a way to make your application
every time you apply
to speak in an event or a conference you
will not have to recreate the wheel so
there's a template for you to put
all of the information in that everybody
ever asks for in in applications
there's a spreadsheet that you can use
to keep track of everything
there's a short video that kind of
explains it all
and there's also um
uh some key words some key action words
that you can use that
conference people uh like to see
in the applications so i'm gonna post
i'm putting it here again but mention it
because
i know that the gain is putting these
eventually on youtube as well

recordings
