Speaker
00:01
Thank you, Tiffany.
Speaker
00:01
Excited to be here.
Speaker
00:02
It's a good good, good vibes already.
Speaker
00:08
Yes, I, and we're, we're in the reds today, like your hot red lips for speaking, and I'm in the reds.
Speaker
00:03
I, (...0.6s)I have like a red lipstick too, which is not.
Speaker
00:04
(...1.2s)My white matches your Lotus, so we're, yes we're vibing.
Speaker
00:01
And my blue matches your blue sky.
Speaker
00:04
So we are totally vibing (...1.5s)and we didn't even plan it.
Speaker
00:06
It was just all synchronous, (...1.1s)which is my favorite way to live life, (...0.8s)you know.
Speaker
00:13
And I am curious, (...0.7s)what actually got you (...0.7s)in the industry of speaking and then also wanting to help others cultivate that skill.
Speaker
00:07
Well, (...0.6s)I started speaking professionally when I was 40, just back in 2,013.
Speaker
00:12
And (...0.6s)I worked for a personal development company and they said already, already loved the work that they did, but they said, we'd love help in finding new clients and we have a talk that we'd love for you to give.
Speaker
00:04
Just go out and give it to as many people as you can and bring in clients.
Speaker
00:08
And so that's what I did my first year, I booked 83 speaking engagements all in the local area, so all in person.
Speaker
00:15
And I was (...0.5s)what I would call ignorance on fire, where you're just going for it, you know like I, they told me to do it, so I am gonna go do it and didn't really know a whole heck of a lot about the speaking industry.
Speaker
00:05
Now if we backed up a few decades, I do have a bachelor's and master's degree in speech communication.
Speaker
00:04
So it wasn't like I (...0.9s)completely fell off the turnup truck, wasn't a huge leap.
Speaker
00:08
Yeah, I, I was totally fine (...0.6s)getting on stage and speaking, but I didn't really know (...0.8s)like how the whole speaking thing worked.
Speaker
00:06
And (...0.6s)then the business developed because I had a network of, I had created a network of speakers.
Speaker
00:03
I still have that community international speaker network.
Speaker
00:10
And they were constantly asking me for help on how to get on more stages because they would see, oh my gosh, you're everywhere, you're booked on this, you're booked on that, you're, how are you doing this?
Speaker
00:01
Can I pick your brain?
Speaker
00:01
Right?
Speaker
00:07
So if any of your listeners are listening and someone's asking you to pick your brain, (...0.7s)that's probably the gold right there, right?
Speaker
00:04
There's something you're doing that they're like, I want what she has, I'll have what she's having.
Speaker
00:01
I went here, even Sally moment, right?
Speaker
00:03
And so you have to figure out, what's that, what's that yummy, juicy stuff?
Speaker
00:02
And it was really about getting booked.
Speaker
00:02
So I don't book people.
Speaker
00:10
I empower them to (...0.7s)be able to get booked for the rest of their career, no matter what their genre or interest or personality is.
Speaker
00:01
So it's not one size fits all.
Speaker
00:02
It's definitely (...0.7s)custom.
Speaker
00:07
Does someone have to feel like they have a message or a mission in order to speak?
Speaker
00:04
I don't think they have to, but I think it is part and partial.
Speaker
00:07
Like (...0.6s)typically you don't have the desire to speak unless you feel like you have something to share now.
Speaker
00:03
That doesn't mean you don't have a little (...0.7s)that, that can happen.
Speaker
00:04
But sometimes our, often our message gets bigger than the fear, right?
Speaker
00:06
Like, so (...0.7s)typically when I work with people, just like, you're like really heart centered, purpose driven people.
Speaker
00:05
They want to share their message because they (...0.7s)wanna make an impact in the world.
Speaker
00:05
They're looking to help transform people, solve problems, educate where there's a gap.
Speaker
00:01
Um.
Speaker
00:05
So (...0.5s)I prefer working with people who come from a rural, authentic place there.
Speaker
00:03
It's not about flashy cars and (...0.6s)snazziness.
Speaker
00:01
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker
00:02
It's a different vibe, and there's, there's programs for that.
Speaker
00:01
That's, that's all fine and good.
Speaker
00:01
That's not really what I'm about.
Speaker
00:03
It's more about really, (...0.9s)and I'll even speak to this.
Speaker
00:01
I know you'll get this.
Speaker
00:08
One of my missions is to (...2.2s)increase the consciousness of our planet, like, our whole human race.
Speaker
00:08
And when we, I believe we all have gifts, and when we can give those gifts to other people, that helps contribute to that higher consciousness, right.
Speaker
00:08
So I help someone who can get their message out to more people, and then that will help those people and so on and so forth.
Speaker
00:03
So this is my contribution to that whole mission.
Speaker
00:08
Nice, (...1.1s)you didn't ask, but just in case, (...0.7s)well, I, (...0.5s)I knew that was probably the drive behind it.
Speaker
00:16
I mean, (...0.6s)most of the people that are in my world have (...0.6s)a similar vibration, where they're trying to do whatever is their small part to improve the consciousness of humanity.
Speaker
00:03
Yeah, that's, (...0.6s)that's the game we're playing, right?
Speaker
00:06
It's a fun game (...0.6s)and we all have our ways to (...1s)impact that.
Speaker
00:13
You know, where I come at it for through healing and transformation and empowerment and you come at it from helping people who need and want to speak, to be able to get on stage to do it.
Speaker
00:01
Yeah.
Speaker
00:13
And (...1s)what would you say for newbies, you know, that maybe haven't yet (...0.7s)been on stages, virtual or in person, (...0.6s)what are some of the first (...0.6s)steps?
Speaker
00:03
And maybe part of it is the inner work and part of it's the outer work?
Speaker
00:03
So what, what would you suggest for that?
Speaker
00:10
Well, when people come to me, usually they already know they have some kind of desire to speak or maybe it's been a secret dream or secret wish or like I can imagine myself up there.
Speaker
00:07
But then are what I call speakers, kryptonite can creep, creep in like, well, who are you and what do you have to say and is anyone gonna listen?
Speaker
00:01
And, and all those things can happen.
Speaker
00:04
So that would be the inner work if if necessary, if we need to do that.
Speaker
00:18
But typically when someone starts to work with me in the first 30 days we do this, the get your talk ready to rock session, what that does is it instantly you feel empowered because you know what your talk title is, your talk description, your learning points, and, you know, your call to action.
Speaker
00:21
People I'm working with are coaches, consultants, dealers, like like what you were mentioning, or entrepreneurs who have something, have a service that's gonna really help other people, but they might not feel comfortable selling, or maybe they (...0.6s)certainly don't wanna be cold calling, haha, or cold emailing or messaging through whatever, you know, app that they're on.
Speaker
00:05
That doesn't always feel really natural or comfortable to really heart centered a certainly highly perceptive people.
Speaker
00:05
I love sales, (...0.5s)haha, right, but you get what I'm saying, I do, I do.
Speaker
00:01
(...1.1s)You probably had some training in it too.
Speaker
00:14
I'm assuming in one of your lifetimes, I do run across quite a few people who've just never been in a sales position, quote unquote, and then they want to be an entrepreneur and all of a sudden you're like, wait, no one told me about the sales and marketing part.
Speaker
00:01
Like what?
Speaker
00:01
You know.
Speaker
00:06
And so (...0.6s)I think that you're laughing, you probably can relate to that, yeah, with your, you know, people tell you that same thing.
Speaker
00:10
I know they, they think, oh, I just wanna help and feel, (...0.5s)and yet (...1s)their business acumen is somewhat lacking.
Speaker
00:09
And, yeah you know, thinking that it's rainbows and puppy dog tails that, (...0.6s)oh, they put up a website and now they're gonna get a bajillion Insta clients.
Speaker
00:03
And I'm like, hmm, that's not really how it works.
Speaker
00:09
You know, it's (...0.6s)one of the pieces (...0.5s)that can help, but, (...0.6s)um, (...0.5s)how do you go about building people up?
Speaker
00:08
Like for me, I'm working on healing whatever their fears, their, (...0.8s)whatever childhood wounds are blocking their confidence.
Speaker
00:01
How do you approach that?
Speaker
00:08
Well, I, for when, when we do the get your talk ready rock session, what happens is that all of a sudden their brilliance gets born.
Speaker
00:03
And (...0.6s)I'll often hear someone say like, oh my gosh, that's such a great idea.
Speaker
00:02
And I'm like, well, I didn't actually say that, you said that.
Speaker
00:02
So they don't even hear their own brilliance, right?
Speaker
00:01
I'm just there to catch it.
Speaker
00:01
I'm literally there catching the baby.
Speaker
00:12
So I call myself a talk to, I'm like, I will catch the baby, (...0.6s)and once (...0.6s)our brilliance is born, it is transformational cause you're like, wow, I can't wait to share this message with everyone who could benefit from it, right?
Speaker
00:14
Like all of a sudden your, your blinders come off because now you're excited to share this (...1s)secret, basically brilliance that you've been (...0.9s)holding inside and you can't wait for it to come out.
Speaker
00:02
And that is a different shift.
Speaker
00:06
Instead of like, I have to I should, I need to, we're going from wow, I can't wait to do this thing.
Speaker
00:06
And then the opportunities that were probably there the whole time (...0.7s)that were just underneath the surface.
Speaker
00:01
You might have missed them.
Speaker
00:02
You might have been blind to him or didn't hear him.
Speaker
00:06
All of a sudden you're like, oh, oh, I just got asked to be on a podcast, oh, someone just invited me to speak on their stage.
Speaker
00:07
I just got a call, or I got a message from LinkedIn that said this not invited me to, they asked if I could speak all of a sudden.
Speaker
00:06
Magically these things happen, but it doesn't happen until you're ready, (...0.7s)right?
Speaker
00:02
And you have to, (...0.6s)have to make yourself ready.
Speaker
00:11
(...1.2s)And so that's part of it, it's like, let's get you ready to say, yes, let's just (...0.8s)any, any resistance that there if someone's like, well, don't look at my website because it's not ready yet, like, well, then we need to get it ready.
Speaker
00:02
Don't look at my, don't, I'm not ready to my talk.
Speaker
00:08
I don't have my speaker, I don't page, (...0.9s)my page, my logo, my whatever, whatever it is (...1.2s)until like (...0.6s)lock it down.
Speaker
00:05
And I don't know what you Tiffany, but like I don't have clients who are at exact same point.
Speaker
00:05
None of my clients have exactly the same stuff and exactly the same stuff, exactly the same education.
Speaker
00:04
They all come at me with like, I got this part, but I don't have that part or I have none of the parts.
Speaker
00:01
So I have all the parts, but I'm missing this one piece.
Speaker
00:04
Like it's like, we will just start where you are and we'll figure it out.
Speaker
00:10
And I think that having someone literally link arms with you as an entrepreneur (...0.6s)is (...1s)really powerful and you don't feel so alone.
Speaker
00:01
Um.
Speaker
00:07
And trying to figure out on your own, I think that's just hard sometimes until, until it isn't, you know, then, right?
Speaker
00:02
And then we have a point where like okay, now I'm stuck.
Speaker
00:01
Crap.
Speaker
00:01
What do I do?
Speaker
00:10
Well, and a lot of people (...0.7s)who are newer or even kind of intermediate in business, (...1.1s)there's a lot to learn.
Speaker
00:06
It's not just the skill or trade or modality, it's all the businessy stuff.
Speaker
00:06
And as you said, to have someone who can (...0.9s)link arms and say, hey, I've got your back.
Speaker
00:01
You can do this.
Speaker
00:01
I got you.
Speaker
00:02
And even speaking there, oh, sorry to be there.
Speaker
00:25
Well, and, and just how powerful it can be to (...1s)have that camaraderie and community (...0.7s)and a mentor who's already been there, done that and has made a ton of mistakes and knows the shortcuts and the (...0.6s)golden nuggets and tips to make things faster and easier is (...0.6s)that in and of itself (...0.6s)is a true gift.
Speaker
00:13
Yeah, and I think that's where (...0.6s)sometimes you, there are certain things you're not gonna find online and you don't have that trust with like just this Google (...0.7s)answer, and a lot of times you just don't chat, GPT it.
Speaker
00:01
No, I know it's funny.
Speaker
00:04
I've had a couple people, like, in preparation for their talk, their get your talk radio rock.
Speaker
00:08
They, they're like, I put some stuff in chat GPT, and I sent it to you, and I was like seven pages of (...0.6s)just blah, you know, and I'm like, this all sounds perfect, but that's not your soul.
Speaker
00:03
We need to find out what your soul wants to say first.
Speaker
00:06
Then if we need to snaze it up couple of titles or maybe change some words, we can put some things and get some ideas.
Speaker
00:04
That's fine, but Chachi Pete doesn't yet know your soul, right?
Speaker
00:08
And that's what we're (...1s)to (...1.3s)get out first, and then we can, at least not yet, right?
Speaker
00:03
I said not yet, not yet, (...0.9s)only a few more days.
Speaker
00:01
I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Speaker
00:06
(...1.3s)I, I mean, I, I have trained my chat to, to be pretty good, but still there.
Speaker
00:09
It's not the same as just getting empty, you know, after, like a meditation and just letting myself free flow, (...0.7s)right?
Speaker
00:20
And, and, you know, put pen to paper (...0.6s)about something, you know yeah, when it's a download, (...0.7s)yeah, that human, that human openness, that, uh, creative space, (...0.5s)and when I do these sessions, it's, it's literally, it is magical each time I do it and I, sometimes I'm like okay, is this one gonna be as magical as the next one?
Speaker
00:04
Yes, because it's a human being who has something powerful to say.
Speaker
00:10
And we're allowing the a lot, the idea to have life, like, (...1.2s)and, and then we're gonna organize it and kind of put it in a way that marketing wise.
Speaker
00:06
It sounds appealing to somebody, but it's just a beautiful process and that, and I know we're spending a lot of time on that piece of it.
Speaker
00:07
That's really just the big, that's the base of the mountain, Tiffany, like you, it is really hard to be a speaker if you don't have a talk.
Speaker
00:02
Yeah like, because that is gonna be the next question.
Speaker
00:01
Oh, what do you talk about?
Speaker
00:01
What do you speak about?
Speaker
00:05
Your signature talk, you know okay, so can I, (...0.6s)can I?
Speaker
00:04
(...1.5s)Uh, just all right, haha.
Speaker
00:09
I think in the beginning, it's great to have a talk, a signature talk, just so that you know what the heck you're gonna talk about.
Speaker
00:03
And that builds confidence and builds trust.
Speaker
00:10
And then (...1.3s)at some point, at least (...0.7s)for me, I just, (...1s)I feel confined to have a, like, (...0.8s)a signature talk.
Speaker
00:02
It's like, well, it depends on the audience.
Speaker
00:16
I just, you know, (...0.5s)whatever the audience is pulling out of me is the thing, but I have also had 30 years of (...0.8s)transformation (...0.6s)workshops in my tool belt to pull that from, but a lot of people don't yet.
Speaker
00:32
And so what about for the people who (...1.2s)don't wanna be (...0.7s)put in a box or to have that cookie cutter talk, like, how can you still, (...0.6s)and, and I know you can, which is why I'm asking, yeah like, how can you pull out that ability for them to authentically genuinely, (...1.9s)um, tap into (...0.5s)creative source (...0.7s)and delivery of that (...0.6s)brilliant message?
Speaker
00:10
Yeah, I've had a lot of clients who are on the healer, um, metaphysical type (...0.6s)realm who, and then I had like an account who's like, no, tell me exactly how to do it.
Speaker
00:04
You know, so (...0.8s)all good, I'm like, I can be whoever you need me to be.
Speaker
00:03
Um, but (...1.4s)step 1, create a hook.
Speaker
00:07
Step 2, yeah, (...2.2s)so (...1.1s)what we do is we create a framework.
Speaker
00:08
I am not a fan when in this type of, when we're talking about speaking, we're talking about speaking to attract clients, you know, speak to sellers or platform speaking.
Speaker
00:10
There's all different kinds of phrases where you're, you're like, you want to provide a lot of value and interest and stickiness, like you want people to go, oh, I really like what she said.
Speaker
00:02
He said, where can I get more of that?
Speaker
00:02
Right, so that's, that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker
00:10
(...1.4s)Each speaker has their own personality, likes, dislikes, (...0.6s)and (...0.6s)whatever we create, it has to resonate with that person, otherwise it, they won't do it.
Speaker
00:05
I could be the best idea in the whole wide world and they want to get up on that stage and not do it or never get up on the stage cause I don't like it.
Speaker
00:03
So we have to kind of figure out like, what's your sweet spot, right?
Speaker
00:11
And so for some people like yourself who are more intuitive and are playing off the audience and are, are facilitating, (...0.9s)they need more space in the structure.
Speaker
00:11
Like, so there's still a structure, like there's still a Tiffany's gonna be speaking about XYZ and you are still gonna have your (...0.5s)offer at the end, (...0.9s)but then what happens in between there?
Speaker
00:02
There can be a lot of movement.
Speaker
00:01
Um.
Speaker
00:14
Another one of my, uh, tricks is (...0.9s)if we can create a talk that if we know like, oh, you know, she's gonna be speaking to a bunch of different audiences, okay, then how can we create that talk and that allows for (...0.6s)a different, I'll put a lens over it.
Speaker
00:03
Like a, (...1.3s)is lens the right word?
Speaker
00:07
I can't think of the other word but (...0.9s)meaning like, I used to do a talk about creating winning mindset when I work for that personal development company.
Speaker
00:10
So I would say creating a winning mindset in real estate, creating a winning mindset in (...0.6s)insurance, you know, or (...0.7s)as a right, like what different genres.
Speaker
00:12
Yeah, and so it was the same, (...1.3s)the same basic concept, but (...0.8s)I would shift to the audience or, (...0.5s)um, use different examples or words.
Speaker
00:05
So there's lots of ways that you can play with it, but I am not a (...0.6s)script.
Speaker
00:03
When we talk about getting your talk ready to rock, we are not talking about a script.
Speaker
00:02
I usually am ripping this notes out of people's hands.
Speaker
00:14
I'm like, no no, no, (...0.6s)we've got to get it to where conceptually (...0.6s)you can confidently speak on any of these topics on a podcast, on a, in a virtual stage, on a recording at the grocery store.
Speaker
00:01
Someone asks you what you do.
Speaker
00:03
Like obviously not gonna stand at the grocery store for a 20 minute talk.
Speaker
00:06
They're not gonna listen, but (...0.5s)you, you could (...0.6s)bite size, like, when someone says, well, what do you do or, oh, tell me more about that.
Speaker
00:07
You could bite size that piece (...0.8s)without a script, without it feeling like, oh, I'm in this box and this thing, but it's your stuff.
Speaker
00:02
You know, eventually you end up saying the same stuff anyway.
Speaker
00:14
And, (...1.1s)you know, a lot of people who do speaking, (...1.3s)not only do they wanna have an impact, but they also wanna use it as a tool to help build their list to help make money.
Speaker
00:03
Can you speak to those two (...0.6s)pieces for a moment?
Speaker
00:06
Absolutely, I think it's really important to be very clear on your goals as an entrepreneur.
Speaker
00:01
Uh, what is it that you're trying to do?
Speaker
00:03
Like, building a list is a different goal than getting a client.
Speaker
00:01
Can you do both?
Speaker
00:03
Yes, you can, (...0.7s)the end here.
Speaker
00:08
(...1.3s)Why not have everything that you want, (...0.9s)but you also just want to be super clear on your intent and your goals.
Speaker
00:16
And I think where a lot of people fall short (...0.6s)in the Heart Center purpose driven space (...0.6s)is they're so focused on giving so much to the audience, they forget to balance it out by giving to their business.
Speaker
00:01
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker
00:13
And so it is that reciprocation, if you don't end up actually acknowledging the importance of your business receiving, you will be out of balance and out of money and out of business, right?
Speaker
00:05
So there needs to be, (...0.8s)you think truth coming, truth coming at you right here live.
Speaker
00:02
I say you're not making money.
Speaker
00:01
It's not a business, it's a hobby.
Speaker
00:10
I'm just saying, so we do need to consider that, but we also wanna consider (...1s)how can it be in (...1.1s)exact alignment with the person.
Speaker
00:12
It if you're gonna, (...0.6s)it's if you're uncomfortable selling (...0.5s)or offering or receiving, (...1s)one of the ways that we work on that is what would be comfortable.
Speaker
00:01
How can it be comfortable?
Speaker
00:05
What words or what would you like to offer in which it would feel good?
Speaker
00:17
And like ah like you can breathe deeply into it and you're not feeling like you're pressuring or force thing or, you know, being aggressive about it, but that it truly is like, yes, this is this offer, this thing is really gonna help people.
Speaker
00:04
And I think once we discover what that is for the person, it becomes a lot easier.
Speaker
00:02
(...1.7s)And then they got the first client and they're like, what?
Speaker
00:04
Somebody signed up for my thing, someone bought me, bought stuff.
Speaker
00:03
How much money can somebody make from a talk?
Speaker
00:01
Well, it depends.
Speaker
00:07
Uh, there's, (...0.9s)I mean, gosh, give her Tony Robbins, probably make a whole lot of money, but, um yeah, it depends.
Speaker
00:07
Seven figures out of one, sock, eight figures out of one, probably eight figures, probably, yeah, we have eight figures at this point.
Speaker
00:12
Um, but just to, just to break it down in a simple way, (...0.8s)the way I think of it is like, we have a, I have a speaker monetization formula that I'll run someone through.
Speaker
00:05
And for example, it's got three components, and you asked Tiffany's all day.
Speaker
00:01
Yeah, it's got three components.
Speaker
00:03
One is the first one is what's your price of your services?
Speaker
00:07
Like, let's say, (...2s)let's say it's $5,000, like, your coaching package $5,000 just for example.
Speaker
00:02
And then the second part is, well, how many talks do you feel like you could give?
Speaker
00:05
Like, let's say their virtual talks, most of my clients do 12, 24, 36 talks a year.
Speaker
00:02
Okay, alright, so let's say 24 talks a year.
Speaker
00:01
That's twice a month.
Speaker
00:05
I mean, if you're networking at all, you certainly have time to be speaking cause (...0.7s)you're gonna go to a networking event.
Speaker
00:02
Why not be the speaker?
Speaker
00:01
That's my motto.
Speaker
00:05
I'm here anyway, might as well be the center of, you know, the whole conversation and build your authority and credibility there.
Speaker
00:05
And then Soul Set 8, 5,000 (...0.8s)times 24, 24 talks.
Speaker
00:06
And then (...0.7s)how many, the third part is, how many clients do you feel like you would be able to attract at those talks?
Speaker
00:05
Like, let's say you're, you got your talk dialed in, you're at the right audience, you've got a great offer that you feel comfortable with.
Speaker
00:12
What, what do you think your closing ratio would be in, even if we just do that quick math right here, if we did 5,000 (...0.6s)* 24, and even if you got one client at each of those, that's $120,000.
Speaker
00:09
So (...1.5s)I find a lot of times entrepreneurs running around scrambling, scraping, struggling, hustling.
Speaker
00:09
And if you really scaled it back and go, wow, if I actually just spoke to a couple groups a month, that could be my six figure (...0.6s)business right there.
Speaker
00:03
Bam, (...0.6s)mic drop, mic drop, we're done.
Speaker
00:01
I'm out.
Speaker
00:15
(...2.3s)Okay, (...1.5s)so as you can see, the idea of speaking and making money while speaking might becoming even more appealing just with that one little example.
Speaker
00:28
And I wanted her to give something media and tangible, because if you're talking as she said twice a month, (...0.6s)that, which is not a lot people, you know, twice a month, if you're offering a 5K product, you could be making $125,000 for that year, and that's all the marketing you did (...2.2s)still well, (...0.7s)yeah, so that's what we, we work with people on.
Speaker
00:07
Okay, let's get the talk created, let's figure out where would you be speaking, what's your offer gonna be, how do you go about getting booked and staying booked?
Speaker
00:02
And then you just use that for the rest of your career.
Speaker
00:06
So it's one of those things too, that's not, it doesn't take a lot of fancy schmancy systems.
Speaker
00:02
It's but want, you know, there's some learning.
Speaker
00:04
Yeah, of course, there's a little bit of work, (...1s)but new skills.
Speaker
00:06
Yeah yeah, do you have to get in a bunch of speaker directories, go to a bunch of networking events?
Speaker
00:07
Like (...0.8s)no, (...0.6s)and in fact, yeah, I just, (...0.7s)I know that but I don't know that they know that.
Speaker
00:01
Yeah.
Speaker
00:11
So I think the question, yeah, cause some people think, oh, that means I'm gonna have to go to like all these events to meet people and do all these networking things just so that I could then be able to speak.
Speaker
00:06
And that might not be, (...0.9s)yeah, I do have one of, I have that come up with some of my clients.
Speaker
00:05
They're like, well, they told me in order to speak, I did join the thing and I'm like, I have given over 600 talks.
Speaker
00:04
I am not a member of 600 (...0.7s)different.
Speaker
00:02
You cannot, you cannot do that.
Speaker
00:14
But there's ways to (...0.7s)delicately (...1s)maneuver through that and there's so many opportunities and of course there's one network I highly recommend you join if this is a goal of yours to speak as the international speaker network.
Speaker
00:05
Because (...0.6s)what we do there is actually (...0.6s)encourage speaking referrals.
Speaker
00:07
So if you're gonna go to one, you're like, well, you could probably leave with two speaking referrals (...0.6s)at that one meeting and then you're good, you're good for the month.
Speaker
00:02
So, and that's your baby, right?
