What does your inner monologue look like? When was the last time you stopped to congratulate yourself for a recent accomplishment, or even a simple acknowledgment of how far you have come?

If you’re like most people, the answer (sadly) is probably not recently or even not ever.

Your reality does indeed come from your perception. And your perception IS a complex bundle of your thoughts, feelings, emotions, past experiences, and expectations – basically, it’s YOU in any given moment.

And depending on which YOU shows up will determine your own reality..

Okay, it’s the post-pandemic world and you’re holed up in your WFH office, wearing your WFH yoga pants, drinking your WFH (maybe spiked) coffee. Public speaking isn’t just the last thing on your mind… it’s the last thing you think you need to worry about.

Because most people do. Worry about public speaking, that is.

What if you could transform the energy it takes to REACT to something into energy that CREATES?

And what if that thing it creates is something extraordinary and beneficial, inspiring and productive, or even restful and restorative?

It’s a no-brainer… but it doesn’t come naturally. Which means, in order to transform reactionary energy into creative energy, you must DECIDE TO DO IT and then WORK AT IT.

Let's face it: we've all had to deal with a toxic workplace at some point or another. Whether your experiences have been as extreme as the one I’ve described above or not (oftentimes, these types of situations can very quiet indeed: an eye roll behind your back, a microaggression of some kind, malicious office gossip… not all toxic workplaces display themselves so loudly), I can guarantee that if you’ve spent any significant amount of time in the corporate world, you know exactly what I mean when I say toxic workplace.

Our emotional intelligence (the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically) plays a significant role in how we are perceived by others, which, in turn, is an important part of how they respond to us. Developing emotional intelligence, or EI, is an absolute MUST if we want to impact those around us – both professionally and personally.

Deeply embedded belief systems can’t be helped with self-help-platitudes.

Regarding the experiences we have in life, whether work-related or personal, we always have 2 basic choices:

1. We can let our preconceived assumptions, notions, knee-jerk reactions, and emotions control what we think, feel, and say; or

2. We can gain control over ourselves, our minds, and all of those -tions and choose happiness and positivity.

How do you create a sense of urgency that inspires action and not stress in your audience? Here are my 4 tips to do just that in any public speaking role – whether you’re talking to your team, presenting to the board, or delivering a keynote address.
