You Have To Be Prepared For Things To Go Wrong

Listen Now:

In this episode I get to speak with Amber Wright. Amber is a communication expert, public speaking coach, and award-winning adjunct professor in Communication Studies. That’s the short list of her professional credentials.

She knows a bit about the art of communication and public speaking. Yet she makes mistakes too. She opens up and shares a couple of stories where she struggled with things we can relate with.

Here’s what Amber and I discuss:

How technology almost ruined a relationship with someone she highly respected in her industry.
How she fixed it and was able to pull it off.
How she continued to make mistakes with that person and can laugh about it today.
Why she said you need to slow down and build contingency plans.
What she learned from her worst public speaking events.
The challenge she faced when speaking to a group of teenagers.
What happens when you make a mistake trying to understand your audience.
Why it’s important to develop strong communication skills.
Why public speaking doesn’t alway mean speaking in front of a group, and why public speaking is valuable to understand and learn.
Why it’s important to survey your audience.
Why you need to know your material.
What happens when you rely on technology.
The clothes dryer metaphor that made me laugh.
The struggle she is facing while scaling her business.
What she means by the term, “People enthusiast.”
What she means when she says to, “Reveal your humanity to people.”
Why she said your body is naturally afraid of public speaking because you lack the tools to reduce that anxiety.
