This morning, I auditioned to go on a TV game show. 10 years ago, I would not have put myself outside my comfort zone to do something like that. I would've thought, "That'd be cool to appear on", but never do anything about it. But today, at 43, I’m more confident than ever and know that outside your comfort zone is where flow kicks in, and you start to really enjoy life. Here are 3 lessons I’ve learned from getting outside my comfort zone as often as I can: —— 1/ Your Dreams Are On The Other Side of Fear If you are not uncomfortable, you are not challenging yourself, you are not growing. The measure of a great human is their ability to have uncomfortable conversations. —— 2/ We’re Capable Of More Than Mediocrity It’s so easy to settle for doing “Okay” things. Yet when we push ourselves to do more, we realise just how much we can do. —— 3/ We Can Do More Than We Think 10 years ago, I would have said that things would be cool to do but never got out there and do them. When your friends or family say, you should do this; you show go on that show; you'd be great at this thing; then do it! —— But the biggest lesson from all of this? Do things that scare you!

This is the secret to your audience engaging with your blog. Post consistently. Why it Matters: Imagine finding great tv show but it’s never on at the same time and you never know when a new episode is being released. Frustrating, right? An irregular posting schedule can lead to reader frustration and diminish a blog’s credibility. Maybe right now it's just one post a week, or two a month. That's 100% OK! Set yourself up for success though by sticking with a scheduled time. It makes it easier for your audience and allows you to plan ahead. Win-Win!

We are selfish, but our favorite reality TV show is someone else's life. Wait, what? 😲 Yes. As humans, we're wired to prioritize ourselves. But as much as we want the story to be centered around us, we're still curious to know what's going on in the lives of others. This affects content creation a great deal and here's how; When telling a story (whether it's about you or a brand), be people-centered; not selfish. Focus on what they can relate to. Relatable stories have the power to bridge the gap between our self-centeredness and our desire to learn and connect with others. So tell that story, but don't let it be solely about you that it chases other people away. Don't also let it be solely about them that it makes them feel guilty. Work in the gap; let them see themselves in your story!

“…conversations started online about what a show has to do to survive past Season 1 and why can't we let original and diverse stories have time to find their fanbases. Instead, they have 10 episodes (or less) to find as many fans as shows like Bridgerton, or else they are done for.” This conversation has been very loud online and why so many people are turning to old series like Supernatural (15 Seasons), Suits (9 Seasons), or The Vampire Diaries (8 Seasons). The trust that is built between filmmakers/stories and their audience takes time, and with so few episodes to hook in viewers and so many season 1 cancellations following a cliffhanger ending, there’s very little desire for people to invest until they know there’s a season 2. It’s why many people turned to KDramas with their single season, limited series of 16 x 1 hour episodes format. Almost guaranteed completed story. “It's also become such a sad cycle. Many people now won't watch a show because they fear it will be canceled after one season, but it's reportedly important to watch a show within the first few weeks, so then the shows get canceled because people aren't watching for fear of cancellation.” https://lnkd.in/ghr4FmE8

I've got a secret... If you already have serious public speaking chops, that's great... but it doesn't mean people will remember anything you said. If you want people to walk away with something of value (beyond just thinking... wow, what a great speaker!) you need to figure out how to make your message memorable. I love a proven framework - and I'm sharing my #content framework in this week's episode of the Speaker Dynamics #OwntheRoom podcast. Give it a listen and learn how to make your message resonate with any audience.

One of my all-time favorite TV shows is 30 Rock. There's this hilarious episode with Queen Latifah where she plays the role of a Congresswoman. During a fictional committee meeting on Capitol Hill, she completely loses her train of thought while delivering an impassioned speech but still keeps everyone engaged solely with her energy. In that moment, you could say her character was victorious because she brought everyone to their feet. But when you speak, would you consider it a victory if your audience thinks, "Wow, what a great speaker," yet has no idea what you said, let alone remembers it? On this week's episode of "Speaker Dynamics - Own the Room," we'll touch on why even the best speakers need a solid structure to make their message stick. I'll introduce you to my "rule of three" framework that will help you keep your communication clear and memorable and will share best practices for a strong start and a convincing close.
