Speech Coaching and The Lasting Impact it's had on my client Dr. Barbara de la Torre | Ep 441

A failed TED Talk application can be the gift that your message is on the right track.

A former client of mine pitched herself to come back and on the show and share the long lasting impact of our coaching.

We discussed what happens when speaking plans fall apart: technology, lost time, and tired audiences can all test your confidence. The real skill is staying present when nothing goes according to plan.

You’ll also hear why vulnerability can make a talk stronger than expert advice alone. Learn how saying no, setting a minimum audience size, and putting yourself first can reshape both your business and your message.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to prepare for technology problems, so you can stay calm when the slides, sound, or recording fail
• Why introducing yourself to the AV team matters, so the people behind the scenes want your presentation to succeed
• How to read the room and adjust your talk, so an exhausted audience stays engaged instead of walking out
• Why rejection can reveal the right direction for your brand, so you stop chasing opportunities that don’t fit
• How to repurpose questions and strong ideas, so one presentation can create future talks, workshops, and content

Your voice gets stronger when you stop trying to sound like everyone else.
