158: Speaking Special with Sophie-Jane Lee, Sandra Garlick MBE, Alfie Joey and Kamal Ellis-Hyman — Beyond The Bio

This week's episode of Beyond the Bio is a bit different. With summer in full swing, Sophie has pulled together some of her favourite conversations on a theme that comes up on the show again and again: speaking. Whether you're prepping for conference season, weighing up your first panel, or wondering if speaking could actually grow your business, this compilation draws on insight from four guests who've built real careers on a stage.

In this episode, we cover:

Framing your backstory so it lands as a story, not a CV
The line between vulnerability and oversharing on stage
Why a talk needs one message running through it
Adjusting your approach for a room of 30 versus a room of 500
The difference between speaking for a fee and speaking for opportunity
Why introverts often make the strongest speakers
What happens to a performer once they step off stage
