392: Why I No Longer "Teach from the Stage" [Speak with Confidence Series]

392: Why I No Longer "Teach from the Stage" [Speak with Confidence Series]

My goal with this current podcast series called “Speak with Confidence” is to boost your confidence by getting you to think differently about speaking, whether it’s getting comfortable with impromptu speaking (episode 390) or claiming your identity as a speaker (episode 391).

I know you want to be an impactful speaker, to share your important message with your audiences, and attract clients for your business.

We *think* that teaching and training is what our audiences want. This is what I thought too.

But, I believe that there are trends going on around us that are changing this. We’re all swimming in information; and now with AI, we have comprehensive answers in just a few seconds.

This is why I no longer advocate “Teaching from the stage”.

I’m going to share in this episode what I recommend instead.

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.
