157: Traits of a Successful Speaker

Show Notes

I’m sharing 7 books and 4 podcast series that have impacted me personally and professionally because they’ve made me think about being a speaker (and an entrepreneur) in a different way.

You won’t find these books or podcasts in the business or marketing section.

They’re also not about public speaking tips.

Instead, they can add depth and dimension to you as a speaker, so you’re more captivating, engaging, and memorable.

I’ve listed the names of the books and podcasts below. 

To hear what I’ve learned from them as a speaker, listen in.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve read any of these books or listened to these podcasts. Let me know on LinkedIn!
