Stepping in front of an audience to talk about design can be thrilling and terrifying. It can also be a total waste of time if you don’t prepare yourself for the task at hand. In this episode we learn: - before you agree to speak at an industry event or to a group of potential clients, get clear on why you are doing it—set an intention around what you want to accomplish - telling stories and sharing anecdotes will create a connection between you and the audience - stepping out on a limb (high stakes) is a great position from which to try something new - clients don’t need to change, we need to change - there is nothing special about people who have “made it”—systems will change your life It’s time to take control of your business.
