Everything
… starts with having energy!
Your ambitions, your projects, your speaking opportunities, closing sales, growing your business, your relationships, handling the stress of insecure times, the quality of your whole life... starts with your health and energy.
For speakers and businesswomen who use speaking as a marketing tool
it starts with having TWICE as much energy!
Why?
⤞ The biggest difference between a live and an online stage is: you can't feel the energy of your audience anymore. That means it takes more from YOU to connect with your invisible fans, to engage them and make them want to work with you.
⤞ Living in a time where most people stopped dreaming and seeing possibilities for themselves, it takes more from YOU to inspire them, guide them, lead them by a successful and -let's not forget- a healthy example.
⤞ It takes more from YOU to capture their attention, keep it throughout your whole presentation and make them lean in and take notes when you talk, instead of checking their emails on their phone.
And whereas those challenges may be fairly new, know that your presence may be sabotaging your success when you take the online stages.
How so?
✗ Your focus may wander off 10 or 20 minutes into your talk
✗ You may lose your thread and the strategic build up towards the end
✗ You may feel overwhelmed by all the online tech elements
And so, by the end when you have to be strong in your call to action, when you need to speak with confidence and clarity, you probably spoke about whatever passed by in your mind except for what leads to a clear ask.
You end up in confusion, in going overtime and running out of time to make your irresistible offer that helps people change their lives.
CHECK OUT YOUR QUICK FIXES
Perhaps you have been trying to cover up the fact that you’re showing up at only 10 or 20% of whom you can actually be.
But quick fixes are what they promise and you can’t create long-term results with a short-term vision.
You know the quick fixes. They may be on your desk right now...
✘ A hot cup of coffee to pick you up.
✘ A sweet soft drink for a sugar rush or energy drink for a new “high.”
✘ A box of fine -Belgium- chocolates to cut the stress of your sudden performance anxiety.
✘ A pill for your next headache, a pill to keep the edge off, a pill to get focus.
✘ A supplement for a kick of energy, one for extra proteins, one for more vitamins and minerals.
✘ A glass of red, or two, or “let’s finish the bottle” to wind down from a long business day…
But how do these uppers and downers make you feel on the long run, when they are not enough anymore to keep you going after you completely robbed your bank? When their staggering effects become visible on your waist, belly, hips and make you want to beat yourself up for being “weak?”
