How to Develop Your Personal Story for Speaking

With The Speaker Lab

Episode 106 of The Speaker Lab is a double feature! Listener Breahna wrote in with two questions, and I recorded two answers for her and for you.

Today I’ll be explaining what to do if you have an amazing, sad, impactful, life-altering or otherwise significant story and how to develop that story into the pillar of your speaking career. Find out if you need to earn more credentials, go back to school, or just answer a few simple questions.

Breahna also wanted to know what to do if you radically alter your appearance once your speaking career is underway, so I’ll chime with a reply to that topic as well! Tune in to hear to my responses on today’s episode of The Speaker Lab.

THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW: 

  • What level of credentials do you need when you have a powerful story to share?
