How to Navigate Transitions In Your Speaking Business

With Amy Fuentes

Sharing in the excitement of our students’ success is a privilege for our team at the Speaker Lab! Our Director of Student Success, Maryalice Goldsmith, is taking the mic for our Student Highlight series so you can hear directly from our students about their experiences and what they want you to know about growing your speaking business.

On Episode 421, we’re joined by Amy Fuentes, an incredible TSL student who is taking the stage by storm with a passion for empowering women to find their voice, change their stories, and become their own heroes in all aspects of their lives. Amy sat down with Maryalice to share her personal journey to the stage, including how she found her way to The Speaker Lab and why she is so committed to helping women “transition through transitions” with purpose. Amy shares practical insights on how to really seize the moment, embrace change, and navigate the most challenging of times that become defining moments.

Whether you’re finding yourself amidst a transition or contemplating life-changing decisions that will provide new direction, Amy’s advice will challenge and inspire you to embrace the process!

Here’s what you’ll learn from this episode:

  • Why transitions are hard, but matter
  • Why “ice cream” is part of the process
  • The emotional attachment of thoughts
  • How to use your time differently
  • Why the first step is the hardest
  • The nuts and bolts of building your business
  • Why you have to invest in yourself
  • Why you need a mentor
  • And so much more!
