I think that are a lot of things that we want to do, but we don't actually start taking the steps to do them until the right time. That's certainly how it was for me.' -- @CatherineAuman #PublicSpeaking Click To Tweet

 

 

 

2-Minute Tip: Use Click Bait-ey Titles

 

When you need a title for your talk, take a lesson from all those click-bait titles you see on Facebook and other social platforms. Make it short, compelling, and maybe a little edgy.

 

When you promise a talk with the “5 Secrets to Successful Penguin Petting,” you also have a built-in structure for your talk that will keep you on the right path.

 

If you take this approach, though, make sure you deliver. You’ll only get one shot.

Post Tip Discussion: Meet Catherine Auman

 

Some of us become speakers because we just love it. We love the stage, the crowd, the power of sharing a message — It’s intoxicating.

 

Other folks build a speaking career as a tool to share their message and drive other parts of their business. That’s what Catherine Auman has done — used speaking to drive interests in her books and other resources around tantric dating.

 

What I really like about this conversation, besides the fact that tantric dating is now part of my vocabulary, is how Catherine lives the idea of “build your own stage.” This is something I’ve talked a lot about over the previous few months. She has done it in both the virtual and the real world.

 

Catherine Auman LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) is a psychotherapist in private practice in Los Angeles. She is the author of three books with two more being released in 2019. Ms. Auman speaks twice monthly to live audiences and was previously a frequent guest on the national TV show “Extra.” Visit her online at http://www.catherineauman.com, or on her YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/c/CatherineAuman

 

I think the most difficult thing in anything YouTube, Facebook live, setting yourself up as a speaker somewhere, is getting over your own fear of getting started.' -- @CatherineAuman #PublicSpeaking Click To Tweet
