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.

Open
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

Open
Hey there! It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of those introductiony-type things here (truthfully, never). So I thought I’d give it a whirl since it seems like “the thing” to do here on this platform. :) The truth is I’m pretty inconsistent with posting, even though I REALLY want to be consistent. (Consistency is KEY, they say… right?) I’m also told I have to have a social media strategy, branding photos and tons of content to post everyday, PLUS I need to be creating videos, reels and stories to keep you engaged! It all seems so overwhelming at times… Yet. I feel the part that really wants to play the part, look good to you, and look like I really know what I’m doing! (Hence, my smart-looking branding photo that reminds me of when I worked in the corporate world all those years ago.) And. Now I’m 53, have had my business for 9+ years and a lot more perspective. Truly, I’m here to show up as ME, trust myself, trust my timing, trust my WAY, and allow myself to be guided from within. I’m a Soulful Speaker Coach and Creator of the popular Speak Shine Sell Workshop to craft your client-attracting signature talk. (There’s one coming up October 28 & 29, btw.) Women entrepreneurs hire me when they are tired of hiding out or holding back their voice—and long to be fully expressed with their true gifts and message. My clients courageously step into the spotlight with a soulful signature talk (I help them create this) and attract their ideal clients with ease (I help with this, too), as they unapologetically say YES to being seen, heard and highly visible. That’s the cut & paste version :) And to round out the picture, here’s what a few clients have shared with me recently: Continued in comments below…

Open
Happy Friday, loves. Friday is Venus’ Day and named after the Germanic goddess Frigga. Venus energy is about love, beauty, luxury and abundance. Friday mornings I typically put on uplifting tunes, wrap up loose ends from the work week, and tidy up my office. I often schedule my workshops and webinars on Friday mornings, too, because of its "feel good" vibe. Then, I love having lunch with my husband at the beach (beauty & romance) and take off in the afternoons for boogie boarding, self-care or a shopping treat. Today it’s boogie boarding!

Open
Happy Thursday, beautiful souls! Thursday is Thor's Day, the Norse god of strength and protection. In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter. Jupiter is associated with growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune and miracles. So Thursdays are another fabulous day for client sessions, meetings, collaboration, networking, connecting, sending emails--as, in my experience, most people tend to be in an expansive, positive mood. (Because, hey, tomorrow is Friday!) Sending love to you on this Thursday and hoping you are in a wonderful, life-giving mood. Also, a special shout-out to my client @creatively_jessica for her awesome “I love you” t-shirts!

I can’t believe I get to dress up and go to my first in-person networking event with these two lovelies, @ananieto1230 and @josee.wecanstyle, today! {photo from 2 years ago} Wednesday, Mercury's Day, is all about communication and mental energy. Remember the Roman god Mercury, the swift messenger of all the other gods? Wednesdays are such a great day to send out your e-newsletter, speak to groups, create a lengthy post on social media, develop curriculum, and attend a networking event! I typically have a lot of energy on Wednesdays—I see clients and also schedule my Soulful Speakers group coaching sessions on these days. Haven’t touched business cards in 18 months, so just now remembering to toss some in my bag before I head out the door!

Did you know that Tuesday is named after the Roman god of war Mars? In Spanish, it’s Martes. Tuesdays are about action, vitality, and passionately going for what you want. I spend a lot of time on my laptop on Tuesdays getting sh*t done, seeing clients, and working on projects. The energy moves on these days! I also have my weekly strength training sessions on Tuesdays to activate my warrior goddess even more 💪✨💪 It’s no surprise that Tuesday is statistically the most productive day of the week!

Open
Have you noticed that each day of the week has a unique rhythm to it?⠀ ⠀ Named after a Greek, Roman or Norse god or goddess, each day contains a powerful archetypal energy. ⠀ ⠀ When I became a business owner and started setting up my work week incorporating the energies of each day, it became a game-changer for my business and my wellbeing. ⠀ ⠀ For example, Monday is the Moon's Day. Moon energy is feminine, intuitive, creative, emotional and introspective. No wonder I resisted plunging into Monday meetings all those years in the corporate world! So I stopped seeing clients on Mondays. It became my "transition day" to reflect, plan out the week, write, create content, and reconnect with myself, especially if I've had a busy social weekend. I also have a 1-hour, deep-dive phone call on Monday mornings with two of my closest friends where we mastermind together and share our personal & business desires, reflections and insights. A ritual we've continued for more than 8 years now. What’s your Monday mood on this Moon Day? 🌓 ⠀ #soulnourishment⠀ #soulpreneur⠀ #speakercoach⠀ #spiritualbusiness⠀ #spiritualbusinesscoach⠀ #spiritualjourney⠀ #thankfulgratefulblessed⠀ #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #intuitiveenergy

For a few years I've dreamed about leading an in-person retreat for my community. Has this been a desire or calling for you as well? If so or even if you're just curious about retreats, you'll want to tune in to my delightful conversation with retreat planning expert Tamara Golden of @journeyworkretreats {link in bio} We cover a ton of ground in just 30 minutes, including: * The 3 elements that must go into every in-person retreat (including one that many retreat leaders leave out), so that your clients walk away with lasting transformation and results. * What you need to have in place in your business before hosting a retreat. * When is the right time to offer your first retreat (Tamara illuminates this "sweet spot" for many business owners). * How to make money from leading an in-person retreat--including both short-term and long-term ways to bring in revenue. While we don't know the outcome of this pandemic, Tamara believes (and I agree) that NOW is a great time to begin planning an in-person retreat. People are HUNGRY for more meaningful in-person gatherings, while Zoom fatigue is only growing. Listen in to our "all about retreats" conversation. {click on the link in my bio} My vision is to create an in-person retreat for women entrepreneurs that is a mix of practical business-building stuff (speaking, visibility & messaging) along with fun, pleasure & play. Stay tuned, my friends…✨✨✨ #soulfulbusiness #soulfulbusinesscoach #retreatplanning #retreatleader #speakercoach #savvysoulfulsuccessful #speakshinesell

Recently I interviewed the fabulous @isabeldraughon, life transformation coach and spiritual mentor for ambitious women entrepreneurs. Isabel shares how women can connect to their inner power--what she calls "the loud whisper"--unleash their voice, and free themselves to live their most amazing life. Living in survival mode right before her 40th birthday, Isabel tells us about her 3 a.m. wake-up call that had her discover the truth of who she really is. She went on to become a two-time marathon runner and start her business, where she coaches and inspires her clients and community to tap into their "loud whisper." ✨Link in bio to listen to our conversation ✨ #soulpreneurs #soulfulbusiness #spiritualbusinesscoach #spiritualawakening #womenentrepreneurs #womenempoweringwomen #loudwhisper

Open
Recently, I got judgey with myself at a classy sales training with a wonderful mentor. Why am I not better at this? (We were doing a role-playing exercise.) Why is this feeling so hard? Why does SHE sound so much better than me? Ugh, so confronting! Afterwards, I realized I wasn’t giving myself permission to SUCK. To be messy, unpolished and boldly out front with my not knowing. I was holding back my voice, as I wanted to come across as the cat’s meow and like I really had my sh*t together. 😯 So I had a pep talk with myself. I said: I’m still ok. I’m still a leader even though this moment feels hard and messy, and I feel like I should be further along than I am. (In fact, it seemed like most of the women in the training were struggling.) I said: There’s nothing wrong with me, and there’s no right or wrong way. I love myself, no matter what. And next time, I thought: I DO want to stretch myself, even if it’s just a little bit further out, and dare to SUCK! Happy Friday, everyone 💛 Where’s one place you’re wanting to edge out a bit beyond your comfort zone and maybe even dare to suck while doing it? #soulpreneur #soulfulbusiness #spiritualbusiness #soulfulspeaking #womensupportingwomen #daretosuck #ilovemyselfnomatterwhat
