Voice for Impact Podcast
Did you know that up to 93% of your influence comes from HOW you speak, not WHAT you say? (Especially when what we say doesn’t match how we say it) This means you could be the most brilliant entrepreneur, but you’ll only ever be perceived at the level of your ability to speak confidently and clearly. And if you struggle to communicate your ideas to the world, your creations will remain only in your imagination, and your influence will fall short. Your voice is where it begins. This podcast is for visionary entrepreneurs, especially women of colour, who are ready to use their voice to be seen and heard, fulfil their greatest potential, and lead powerful movements. Hosted by Trang Nova— once a withdrawn introvert and now a globally-recognized speaking coach featured on TEDx and Medium, you’ll get weekly episodes of fun stories, real experiences and valuable learnings to use your voice for impact in your business and on stages. Your voice is your path to becoming recognised as a visible leader and creating your mark on this world. Are you ready?

The challenge about becoming a speaker is that there are no parameters or regulated pathways to "get there." This can make the journey as a speaker quite intimidating and overwhelming, causing many budding speakers to get stuck before they even start!
In this episode, I will share with you all the things I have learned about the business of speaking throughout the years.
I had no idea about these things because people don't talk about them, but knowing these things would've certainly helped me at the start of my speaking career. Knowing these things would've helped me skip many years of trial and error and fast-track my progress so much more!
Listen to the full episode to hear about:
➡️ How you get booked for gigs➡️ The reality of what a typical day and week for a speaker looks like➡️ To succeed, what other skills do you need to develop, other than speaking➡️ How many times you should be rehearsing for a talk➡️ Things that you would NOT expect a speaker needs to deal with& more! Enjoy :)
