Our talk is coming together! Here is how the parts come together: 

1. Kick off (we covered yesterday)
2. Your bio (we cover today) 
3. Core teaching content (covered two days ago) 
4. Offer (we covered three days ago) 

So let’s talk about your bio today! This is the hardest part of many folks who have a difficult time talking about themselves and bragging. 

Important thing is this: don’t inflate, don’t deflate, stand your ground. Realize that you are awesome...

So far, we have designed your offer (the end of your talk), and the teaching content with stories in it. 

If you are wondering how the puzzle will come together, don’t worry, it will. 

Now we are going to jump all the way to the beginning and kick off the presentation! 

There is a few ways to do the kick-off. Here are my two favorite ways: 

1. Interactive 
2. Non-interactive.

The interactive kick-off

We get people in the audience engaged from...

Yesterday you thought through the steps you will be walking people through. 

Today let’s outline how you are going to teach it. 

Here’s a suggested structure for each step. 

FIRST, start with a story - your own, or someone you know (a client if you have clients yet), describing a mistake that you (or they)  made. You should include at least 3 stories in your talk, therefore every step should start with a story. 

The first step should have what we call your...

Yesterday we put together the end of the talk, which is your offer.  

Now we are going to work on the MIDDLE of the talk, the CORE TEACHING CONTENT. I know right? A bit of jumping around we are doing! 

So let’s go step by step: 

STEP 1: Create the 3 - 5 steps of what you want to teach them. 

Sometimes you will only have 15 minutes to present, sometimes you will have 90. 

So you can expand or shrink your steps depending on what works for that workshop. ...

Today, we are starting with the OFFER. 

This is the last section of the talk. 

Why? It’s the part that people shy away from, so it’s a good idea to knock it out of the way :) 

Also, being clear on the offer allows you to tailor what you are teaching and your stories. 

So let’s go!

I am going to give you a formula for the offer. What you want to do is follow along, step by step, and put it together. 

PART 1: PERMISSION 

You have just finished...

Hello sisters, 

First of all, why speaking? Why a mini-workshop? 

1. Speaking is the surest way to grow as a leader, grow your confidence, and face your fears. 
2. It also is the fastest way to grow your business, expand your email list, and grow your audience. People have to know who you are. There are some costs to it, but it is fairly inexpensive. You certainly don’t have to be an international speaker to start. 
3. Finally, it’s a great way to serve people. I do...

What is your true motivation?

Today we are diving into a blind spot of many, one that derails our businesses, our roles as a parent, our sense of wellbeing. PRIDE. We’ll be talking about pride a lot in the next few weeks, because it is such an ingrained part of our psyche. 

But before we go there, I want to talk about one more thing. 

It is said that our level of consciousness, on the map of consciousness, is has a lot to do with our source of motivation. 

Our...

Let’s dive into the map of consciousness

A couple days ago we talked about the Conscious Leader series and what we will be doing every week. 

Before we start surrendering parts of the ego and dive into spiritual progress, let’s dive into the map of consciousness, designed by Dr. David R Hawkins, and published in 1995 in Power vs. Force. 

Levels of consciousness below 200

Even though one might have a higher calibrating heart chakra and kundalini, if one’s...

I have a gift for you, that will save you lifetimes. 

I had spent years and significant time invested into getting coaching, attending various programs, retreats, reading over 200 books on psychology and personal and spiritual growth, applying what I could. 

I meditated, contemplated, bashed into pillows, tried the course in miracles, had my aura cleaned, went to Unity, saw a psychic, listen to countless hours of spiritual tapes, tried breathing techniques, attended retreats. 

In the last video we nerded out on the topic of the Map of Consciousness developed by Dr. David Hawkins. If you haven’t watched it, go back, as this is a follow-up video.

And I gave an overview of what the map is and what the different levels mean, so you probably have some idea of where you fall on the scale. And you can set intention of where you want to be.

Now the question is:

HOW THE HECK IS ALL THIS CALIBRATED??

Although not an expert (and Hawkin’s books do a much better...
