Using Stories and Humor to Engage (& Convert!) Your Audience: Live Signature Talks from Our Thought Leader Academy Clients

Description

We all know that facts tell, but stories sell. And when you add a touch of humor, your audience doesn’t just listen… they lean in.


In this Back Stage with Speaking Your Brand LinkedIn Live, we’re joined by two recent clients of our Thought Leader Academy, Angela Gillis and Crystal Daye.


They each present a 10-minute version of their signature talk that they developed with us during their VIP Day and refined throughout the program.


You get to see how they weave together story, humor, and heart to connect with their audiences and how that connection builds trust and relatability, the key ingredients for turning a talk into leads (and leads into clients!).

You’ll learn:

  • How to choose and tell stories that make your audience feel seen and understood
  • Ways to naturally infuse humor without forcing it or losing credibility
  • The secret to transitioning from inspiration to invitation (a.k.a. your call to action)
  • Behind-the-scenes insights from our speakers on what they learned while crafting their talks

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your lead generation talks less “salesy” and more human, this is your chance to see exactly how it’s done.
