120: [Coaching] Focusing on the Why vs. the How in Your Presentations with Layne Booth

A question I get a lot is: What content should I include in my lead generation presentations? How much information do I share?

To figure this out, start with these two questions:

#1 = What are you selling (your program, service, product)? This will help you to determine what content will best align with your offer.

#2: Who is your ideal client and what do they need to know to make a decision / take action?

This is what my guest today, Layne Booth, and I did during our recent VIP Day to create her signature talk.

Layne is brilliant at numbers and data analysis - and her clients love her for that.

However, we decided to go in a slightly different direction for her signature talk.

The content we ended up with may surprise you.

You’ll hear us talk about the process that led us to this, as well as the different ways Layne is using her signature talk to get her message out and attract her ideal clients.

About My Guest: Layne’s business, The Project Booth, focuses on the inventory and ordering mayhem that becomes a struggle for many product-based businesses. Layne grew up as a math nerd, graduated college with two engineering degrees and went straight into manufacturing. She spent over a decade in the supply chain world. But as her family started to grow, she was ready for more flexibility. She started The Project Booth to help businesses confidently plan their sales and inventory and maximize their bottom line. It results in the owner’s clarity, confidence, and of course, cash flow! Layne makes the numbers in your business “show you the money”.

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
