If you're a professional speaker or would like to be, don't miss this episode with Dr. Cheryl Wood – my first live, in person interview since the pandemic started!
We talk about a number of challenges facing speakers in this COVID season, such as how to charge for virtual speaking engagements, where to get public speaking experience when there aren't public gatherings, and how to build your speaking career in your downtime and in the meantime.
Because one of the biggest mistakes we see speakers make is waiting for someone to give them a stage. Now is the perfect time to create your own stage!
And we'd love to help you with that. Listen and learn as we also talk about: who's looking to you for leadership and who you should follow, Dr. Cheryl's search for freedom and where she found it, 3 things you should work on for the rest of 2021, what you should have your eye on in the marketplace, the many stages you can speak from (most of them are free!) … and more!
