Since we’re in the month of February, I figured it was a good time to talk about finding the emotional heart of your message.

As speakers, we can get so focused on the information we want to share that we neglect emotions and feelings and making a heart-to-heart connection with the people in our audiences.

If you want your talk to be memorable and impactful and you want to become a keynote speaker, be on bigger stages, deliver a powerful TEDx talk, you need to have an emotional heart to your message.

 

In this episode, I’m going to share:

  • What I mean by the emotional heart of your message
  • Examples ranging from Eliza Hamilton to Taylor Swift to a recent workshop I facilitated on storytelling
  • You’ll hear a clip from my keynote about what happens when we find resistance in our purpose
  • Question prompts to help you find the emotional heart of your message
