You are not broken!
Old school speaker training programs tried to make you think you were with their scarcity-based marketing tactics.
They preyed on your inner critic, focused on competition, and poured salt on your open wounds – all so you’d buy into their magic pill version of speaker training.
And then, their phantom magic pill didn’t work!
Maybe you felt deflated, angry, or even betrayed.
So you resist practicing speaking.
You don’t want to feel broken. You don’t like scarcity, competition, or salt in old wounds.
But not practicing is like a dancer avoiding pirouettes. Or a singer refusing to sing.
You are not broken.
You are a unique and beautiful soul.
A one-of-a-kind radiant being with an important message for the world.
In fact, you don’t just want to tell the world, you want to TRANSFORM the world with your MAGIC.
And the truth is, to truly connect to and transform the audience, you do need to practice …
Like Steph Curry with his 3-point shot. Or Yo-Yo Ma playing the cello.
Is Steph curry broken?
Hell no! He’s the best 3-point shooter in the world.
Why?
Because he practices.
The great news is that practicing in the right environment – one held with care – can help you grow your impact while bringing more ease into the creative process.
So it’s not a shock to your system before, during, or after that moment when you step on the stage.
So you can fall back on your training as you rise to the occasion.
Practicing isn’t about being broken or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about taking your speaking from wherever you’re at
– hiding, just getting started, or pretty damn good –
to a freakin’ work of art!
If you like the sound of that, send me an email with the word “practice.”
I’ve got a few openings for change-makers ready to explore speaking as an art form.
I’ll help you embrace your gifts while walking the path of growth.
With passion & love,
Lauri
