I’m so proud of my mom Nancy. At 92, she finished writing her life story and gave all us kids copies of her book at Christmas. She does not hold back in telling her story—and is achingly transparent as she shares about heartbreak, disappointments and rejection, plus bouts of addiction and depression. She is an overcomer, and of course shares about her deep faith and the many moments of joy and happiness. Her book serves as a talisman of sorts that is spurring me on in my writing retreat this week. Thank you and I love you so much, Momma joon! #happymothersday #motherlove #writingretreat

“Every cell is a masterpiece in divinity.” My favorite quote shared by a scientist and compassion expert at the fabulous TEDxSanDiego event on Sunday. Incredible speakers including Holocaust survivor Dr Edith Eger and a Zen Buddhist monk, Taiko drumming, spoken-word poetry, and a ukulele master who had us all singing “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Thank you #tedxsandiego for an amazing day! #tedxtalks #tedxspeakercoach #tedtalks #sandiego

Happy Spring Equinox, Happy Persian New Year 🌷This is one of my favorite times of the year where we honor Nowruz, the Persian New Year, by creating a traditional decorative table called a Haft-Seen. Haft means Seven in Farsi and this year our 7 items include: - Sabzeh (wheatgrass) for rebirth - Senjed (dried fruit) for love - Seer (garlic) for medicine - Seeb (apple) for beauty & health - Serkeh (vinegar) for age & patience - Sonbol (hyacinth) for the coming of spring - Sekkeh (coins) for wealth & prosperity Plus, we have a book of poetry by Hafez, candles for light, sweet treats to invite in more goodness, plus eggs, birds and “swimming fish” to welcome the new year. #happyspring #nowruzmobarak #persiannewyear #springequinox #beauty #balance #light #thankful #grateful #blessed

Amazing things happen when women gather to create and start to give voice to their gifts, their passion, their vision and their brilliance.⠀ That is exactly what is happening this week at my Speak Shine Sell Workshop.⠀ ⠀ Incredible female entrepreneurs are gathering on Zoom to craft or refine their signature talks, so they can reach many more ideal clients on live and virtual stages, and amplify their income and impact.⠀ ⠀ This will be my 25th Speak Speak Sell Workshop.⠀ ⠀ Yes, you read that right. #25! 🎉 (Photo above is a throwback from 2018.)⠀ ⠀ After this one, I'm being guided to pause on offering this workshop for awhile.⠀ ⠀ So if you've been thinking about attending Speak Shine Sell, I urge you to join us now!⠀ ⠀ Here are a few success stories of clients who have attended Speak Shine Sell and/or I've worked with them privately on their signature talk:⠀ ⠀ Two of my clients have now been selected to give a SUE Talk (a TED-style talk like the one I did recently) this December in Orange County!⠀ ⠀ One client recently gave a presentation at Greenbuild, the largest conference for green building professionals worldwide, and then promptly booked two more speaking gigs from the contacts she made there.⠀ ⠀ One of my Soulful Speakers Club members (and former private client) just launched her first ever, SOLD OUT group program--that was birthed out of developing her signature talk.⠀ ⠀ Another Speak Shine Sell attendee and private client doubled (and then tripled!) her income after creating her signature talk and delivering it 1-2 times per month consistently.⠀ ⠀ And a Speak Shine Sell attendee after attending the workshop gave a keynote the very next week and booked 3 new clients right away!⠀ ⠀ Speak Shine Sell is perfect for you if you're a female coach, consultant, healer, leader or small business owner who has a deep desire to share an inspiring, soulful message--AND attract many more amazing clients to your business.⠀ ⠀ You will create, from start to finish, a solid draft of your signature talk--or uplevel the one you already have--so that you are ready to get on virtual & live stages & bring in more money to your business!⠀ ⠀ Click link in bio to register.

A signature talk is one of the best ways to attract your perfect clients.⠀ ⠀ Having a signature talk and then delivering it in front of groups is exactly how I was able to quickly start and grow my business 9 years ago.⠀ ⠀ My very first clients came from giving a workshop in my chiropractor’s waiting room, leading a roundtable at a women’s conference, and speaking at the Optimist Club.⠀ ⠀ Having a soulful signature talk ready to go prepares you for the vast speaking opportunities that are available at in-person events (yes, they’re back!) and online.⠀ ⠀ Get ready, because many event organizers and groups are looking for experts just like YOU to fill their speaking spots and inspire their audience members.⠀ ⠀ What’s really cool is that once you create your signature talk–or evolve it to the next level–you can use it so MANY ways!⠀ ⠀ Here are 13 ways my clients and I are getting visible and attracting amazing new clients with our signature talks:⠀ ⠀ 1) Webinar or online workshop⠀ 2) Podcast/radio interview⠀ 3) Online global summit⠀ 4) Conference breakout presenter or keynote⠀ 5) Business networking event⠀ 6) TEDx or TED-style talk⠀ 7) Facebook Live or post in private FB group⠀ 8) Instagram post⠀ 9) LinkedIn article⠀ 10) Youtube video⠀ 11) Blog post or email to list⠀ 12) “What do you do?” statement⠀ 13) Framework for book⠀ ⠀ One of my clients recently spoke at the Greenbuild International Conference and is using her presentation as a framework for a forthcoming book.⠀ ⠀ Another client gave the keynote at a global wellness event, and another is speaking to a realtors group and recording videos for her new group coaching program. ⠀ ⠀ And my signature talk served as the perfect foundation for my recent TED-style SUE Talk!⠀ ⠀ I’d love to support you in crafting your signature talk or fine-tuning your message at my upcoming Speak Shine Sell Workshop.⠀ ⠀ We’ll work top to bottom on your talk, and you’ll craft your story, flesh out your content and create a compelling call to action. Or you can take what you already have and evolve it to the next level.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in my bio for details!

Amidst all the flurry of my SUE Talk, I've been meaning to let you know I'm teaching my Speak Shine Sell Workshop next week, October 28 & 29, so that you can craft YOUR signature talk! I've now coached hundreds of women entrepreneurs on how to use speaking to get visible & attract amazing new clients. It starts with having a signature talk that genuinely expresses who YOU are--and meets an urgent need of your ideal clients. I hope you can join me! Oct 28 & 29 (2 half-days) on Zoom. 😍 👉See link in my bio Thank you to @thedanamagnus of @mktgbrand for the awesome video, too! #womenspeakers #speakercoach #publicspeaking #soulfulbusiness #signaturetalk #speakshinesell #transformation #clientattraction #soulfulspeaking

Open
Preparing for my SUE Talk next week has been an amazing experience so far and has come with a few insights: 1) The value of support - Receiving coaching for my talk has made the experience so much more FUN and far less nerve-wracking than if I was doing it on my own. And wise input from others has helped me create a more compelling talk! 2) Every word counts - Distilling my message down to 10 minutes has been a challenge. And it’s helped me clarify the essence of what I'm truly here to share and realize that fewer words can still have enormous impact. 3) Public speaking still brings me to my edge - I'll be sharing a story that I've never publicly shared before in my upcoming talk, and what an opportunity this process has been to let go of more anxiety, self-doubt and worry about what others will think. I can honestly say I'm truly grateful for my “stuff” coming up, so I can consciously release it. Thank you for your loving support and being on this journey with me! 💛 #suetalks #womenspeakers #womenempoweringwomen #soulfulbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #publicspeaking #signaturetalk #soulfulspeaking #speakshinesell
