064: [Coaching] Show, Don’t Just Tell, Your Audience How You’re Different with Kimberley O’Brien

Speaking at groups and conferences is one of the best ways to create awareness about what you do and how you help your clients.

The key is to show, through the examples and main points you include in your presentations, how what you do is different from others.

In prior episodes, I’ve talked about how to do this without “selling from the stage” (episode 59), using story structure to create compelling content (episode 57), and developing your own framework (episode 61).

Now, in this on-air coaching call, listen in as I coach entrepreneur Kimberley O’Brien on how she can show, not just tell, her audience how her approach is different and why her clients choose her.

You’ll hear how we take Kimberley’s presentation outline and make it more impactful and effective for both her audience and for her business, and strategies Kimberley can use to select speaking engagements and make the most of the ones she says “yes” to.
