Part of living the speaker life is travel, so today you’ll find out how to be a true road warrior! Joining us to give her expert insights and wisdom is our co-host, Melanie Diezel. If you’ve been listening to The Speaker Lab for awhile you’ll remember Melanie from some recent episodes: she is an¬†outstanding speaker, coach and consultant on her own – and she also does a phenomenal job of coaching our Speaker Lab students.
