Using the Creative Power of Words to Empower Yourself and Others • • • •
Words carry energy. Your words choices influence your behaviors, beliefs and results. Upgrading just one word can shift how people relate and respond to you. Everything about you communicates.
Bonus Tips! Create a memorable, easily repeatable value statement. Decide what it is that you want people to say about you and your business. What do you want people to think of when they think of you? Make it easy for people to talk about you by giving them the words to say. Provide quality service, and most of all treat people with respect. Make sure respect is present in everything you do and say. Respect creates a feeling of honor which nourishes people at a soul level. Communicate your commitment to “respect” by the way that you speak; i.e. “We respect the difficulty you must face when . . .” “We respect your desire to . . .” Give people something great to talk about. Do something extraordinary that makes people automatically tell others. What can you do that will just naturally get people talking? Think of ideas for doing something extraordinary that gets people’s attention.

How to Create an Epic Breathtaking Life...With Three Simple Words that are the True Secret to Your Success
Bonus Tips! Nothing can stop you from having what you want in your life; being who you want to be; and following your dreams. The company you keep will make or break how far you go in life. And by far, I am not referring to monetary success. I am talking about how far you expand as a human being, as a divine soul, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Only you, I repeat YOU can be responsible for the life that you lead. Breakdowns occur. Life is not about preventing breakdowns. It is about how you respond to them. Living a life of integrity, being your word, keeping your promises is the foundation that success is built upon. And last but not least, don’t let Self Help become Shelf Help. Whatever you are learning and whatever ah-has you are experiencing take action on it!

Speak Up, Speak Out, Take the Stage! • Find your voice: yes, you do have something worthwhile to say. And if you don’t share it, you’re cheating the rest of the world out of your unique knowledge, wisdom and perspective! • Turn fear on its ear: tips and techniques to get rid of the presentation jitters. • Deliver like a pro: the not-so-secret secrets of getting your message across with power and panache.
Bonus Tips! Make it about the audience, not about you! Stay focussed on
the people who are really important to your presentation: the listeners! They’re the ones you should care about. If you pay more attention to the people in the audience, you pay less attention to your fear and anxiety. Remember: you’re goal should be to help them, that’s why you’re there to speak. So it’s not about you, it’s all about them. And keep in mind that the audience is on your side, they want you to to succeed! Remember, it’s “normal”. Most people, even the most experienced speakers, feel a
little anxious before speaking. It’s normal. We’re all in the same boat. And that means you already have something in common with most of the audience – they’re on your side, they want you to succeed and they don’t expect perfection. If the truth were known, they’re happy it’s you up there, not them!
Get Organized. Nothing beats preparation when it comes to overcoming fear of
public speaking. Give yourself plenty of time to think through every aspect of your presentation. Start with the audience FIRST, move on to what you want to say, then plan how you will deliver your material effectively. (For a no-fail, step by step approach, use my Bull’s Eye Model.
