The term “boundaries” has become common vernacular in the entrepreneurial world, but its meaning and implementation often get muddy. “Boundaries” are often declared at a breaking point of resentment and frustration when client communication steamrolls the schedule for far too long, resulting in a highly uncomfortable (and often avoided) conversation.

In today's episode, you’ll learn how to have this conversation confidently. We’ll discuss not only how to set boundaries that work for your life and business (and why you should have them in place), but more importantly how to communicate them in a way that builds client trust.

In this episode, we'll dive into...

• what are boundaries and why we need to set them
• how to be explicitly clear with your boundaries
• how to be a stronger leader and communicate your boundaries in a way that influences other people for good
• how to reinforce your boundaries in a proactive and positive way
• real-life...

I'm joined this week by a real estate specialist, entrepreneur, podcast host and Speak Up to Level Up member, Paige Schulte. In this conversation she shares her unique perspective for how speaking has played out in both business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) worlds.

We also talk around how speaking can help be an accelerant for your business not only to get exposure but more so how can we be more intentional around all of the micro opportunities that are around us every day whether it's in a service-based business or a coaching business and looking for the opportunities to practice and get more confident.

In this episode we dive into...

• The importance of practicing and using stronger language on Instagram stories and live streams
• What happens when you approach one-on-one meetings and sales presentations like mini speeches
• How to leveraging Clubhouse to test the waters in speaking and position yourself as an expert
• Managing filler words, boundaries… and so...

Meet April Beach, one of the OG lifestyle entrepreneurs who excel with helping business owners nail their signature method. In today’s episode we cover the difference between methods and frameworks, how having a solid offer is critical BEFORE adding speaking to your biz, plus her new fav platform - Clubhouse (specifically how to leverage its unique benefits in your business).

Episode Summary

• It all starts with your signature method and your signature offer. Everything stems from there. It is the beginning of huge things that have to be done.
• Having your signature offer is not something that just makes you better. It's something that stops the bleeding.
• All the marketing that you do, don’t mean anything unless you have the foundation of what you want to be known for built, which starts with your method and your framework, which then goes into your signature offer.
• Without a signature offer and a signature framework or method, you're never going to be able...

Thinking about leveraging a virtual assistant to help you with the pitching process, but unsure what (or how) to delegate without having to redo the work yourself? It is possible to entrust this process to a VA or member of your team without a big PR budget or relying on generic templates that will go straight to the trash bin.

In part 2 of this two episode series (see episode 73 for part 1 filled with tangible strategies) you’ll learn from Emily Reagan, a self-proclaimed jill-of-all trades when it comes to digital marketing and techie skills (and gal behind many of my virtual stages booked in 2020). 

Emily shares 7 ways to involve a VA and personalize the pitching process to get more YESes with less overwhelm. Learn how to delegate the actual writing of a pitch, the admin work of the process you might not even be aware of (but could suck up your precious time), and how to finally get yourself organized on the back end of pitching and which tasks you should keep as your...

It’s hard enough to remember the information you want to share with an audience, so when you add in remembering to take pauses, making eye contact, and being aware of your tone.. It is SO much!

The last thing you’re thinking about is how much you should move your feet. In the back of your mind you remember a comment from your college professor telling you not to stand there like a stump. But what rarely think about the other end of the spectrum…

Walking or moving too much during a presentation can become a distraction.

So which is it? Do we move, or do we not?

The answer is YES.

You should move. And you should stay still. A mixture of BOTH is needed to keep your audience engaged.

And in this week’s Spark Your Presentation Skills show, I walk you through 3 mistakes presenters make when it comes to this movement, and more importantly, how to fix them.

This intentional movement will help you appear even more confident with your audience, so you can focus on...
