Build Trust And Credibility And Grow Your Business With Public Speaking

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Have you always wanted to use public speaking to grow your business, attract clients, and add to your marketing toolbox?

Join Brad Friedman and Leisa Reid as they chat about just that, and much more!

Leisa Reid is the Founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now and CEO of the International Speaker Network. With a mission to transform public speaking into a soul-filling business growth strategy, she's the go-to “Talk Doula,” helping entrepreneurs create signature talks and secure bookings for a lifetime. Having rocked over 600 stages, authored 7 books, and graced the airwaves as a podcast host, Leisa shares her proven strategies with others so they can make an impact on the world.

When she's not empowering entrepreneurs, Leisa embraces her roles as a mom, a wife, and a devoted dog-lover, all while indulging her passion for live rock concerts and dance fitness classes.

In this Episode:

• Leisa talks about overcoming “Speaker's Kryptonite”— the internal fears and anxieties (like looking stupid or not being perfect) that stop entrepreneurs from speaking publicly.
• Leisa discusses using speaking engagements not just for education, but as a powerful tool to build trust, prove you are “real,” and attract clients to your business.
• Leisa stresses the need to “get your talk ready to rock.”
• Leisa suggests developing a clear message, know your audience, and define a specific call to action before you even start booking gigs.
• Leisa also talks about how to sell from the stage without being “pushy” or “salesy.”.

“Let's get your brilliance birthed. A lot of people, especially in entrepreneur land, are sitting on a lot of brilliance.” – Leisa Reid
