  • I love this podcast! I attended a workshop where Carol was the keynote speaker. Her message resonated with me immediately. I tuned into the podcast, and every episode is thought-provoking. The guests are informative. The discussion gets me thinking about how the topic applies to me and my goals as a future speaker and thought leader. Highly recommend for any female in business, whether you consider yourself a thought leader or not.

  • Amazing and valuable advice

    Hey Carol, I have been listening for about a year and I felt compelled to let you know how much I resepct you and wanted to say thanks for sharing. Your eps 'The 3 Stages We Go Through as Women When...' resonated with me and it's given me a deeper meaning to my speaking work - we need more women out there talking.

    Thank you for your advice and sharing so openly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Business of Speaking: Negotiating Fees, Building Relationships, and Getting Referrals with Teri DeLucca, PhD
Q: What about speaking for free and the pay-to-play dynamic?
Early gigs were free or very low paid, which taught the reality of costs and the distribution of profits. Over time, recognizing ROI and negotiating better terms, while sometimes accepting lower fees in exchange for future opportunities, has been key to sustainable growth.
The Business of Speaking: Negotiating Fees, Building Relationships, and Getting Referrals with Teri DeLucca, PhD
Q: How did you get your first speaking engagements?
I started by reaching out to event organizers online, sending emails to inquire about opportunities, and gradually building credibility through referrals and word of mouth rather than relying on a traditional speaker reel.
What TEDx Organizers Look for in Selecting Speakers with Nick Rogers and Liam Rogers
Q: What were you looking for when you were going through the applications?
We looked for originality in idea and presentation, a clear sense of what the speaker wanted to change in the audience, and a personal justification for why they are the right person to tell that story; we also considered potential for how the talk would fit into the day as a whole and how coachable the applicant seemed during interviews.
Making the Shift from Performer to Keynote Speaker with Andy Nunn
Q: How do you manage nerves before a talk, and what routine helps you deliver consistently?
I rely on a mix of breath work, daily meditation, a pre-show tea ritual, and a simple, flexible rehearsal approach that avoids cramming; I also start with a prompt-free mindset and use an energy-focused warm-up to transition into performance mode.
Making the Shift from Performer to Keynote Speaker with Andy Nunn
Q: What exactly is a mentalist, and how does that influence your keynote style?
A mentalist blends psychological cues, storytelling, and audience interaction to create moments that feel insightful, and then aligns those moments with a clear, teachable message so the talk has both entertainment value and practical takeaway.
