207. Lead With Your Heart and Lean Into Your Wisdom: What I Learned Working With A Speaking Coach

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

If you struggle with public speaking or you want to share your message more succinctly and more powerfully, listen to this episode.

Diana Dresser, Jessie’s speaking coach this past winter, is our special guest. Diana is a self-described theater nerd and actress.

We offer helpful tools and a new understanding of how working with a coach on speaking, and everything else in life, helps.

What makes a talk compelling?

Practice, the courage to be vulnerable, and a willingness to show more of yourself.

Coaches have insight into you and your message that is hard to have on your own. I saw things and was able to own things about myself and my message that I had not previously appreciated.

Diana connected with the “radicalness” of my message and encouraged me to lean into being dangerous.

She also saw the uniqueness of my spirit. She strongly encouraged me to speak and lead even more with my heart which had a powerful effect of my audience. Leaning into my wisdom and experience did also.

We share what worked to allow me to eliminate imposter syndrome as a public speaker as well as ways to connect and create intimacy and connection with in-person audiences vs Zoom.

This episode speaks to the power of coaching as a tool in changing your presence, performance, and sense of purpose. After listening you will likely want to engage in coaching - speech coaching, life coaching, marriage coaching, and every other kind of coaching.
