The Things Nobody Tells You About Speaking

With Jane Atkinson

On this episode of The Speaker Lab I have a fireside chat with Jane Atkinson, founder and creator of The Speaker Launcher. The journey to creating this business began with a desire to work for an inspirational speaker. The seed was firmly planted when she saw a Les Brown TV special not long after, and it soon sprouted her first marketing gig.

Hear how that gig led her to later work with Peter Legge and Vince Vicente, before she ultimately formed The Speaker Launcher. You’ll hear her stories and advice, as well as some of my own experiences when you join us for episode 236 of The Speaker Lab!
