How to Prepare for a Speaking Engagement | Tips for New & Aspiring Public Speakers

Speaking engagement coming up and not sure how to prepare? I'm sharing exactly how I get ready as a registered nurse, yoga teacher, and business owner who speaks at conferences and teaches yoga at events around Orlando, Florida. If you're a new or aspiring public speaker, this one is for you. I filmed this the night before my speaking engagement at the CEO Reset, plus a Sunday morning on my way to teach a private yoga class, so you get the real, not so glamorous prep: printing my script and run of show (yes, printing), what to pack, what I'm wearing so I'm not worrying about my shirt mid-stretch, and how I get ready for yoga classes too. I also share how I balance a full-time job and my business with PTO and a four day work week. Shoutout to ‪@Merlyncolbert‬ CEO of Clear Elevation Operations for hosting The CEO Reset in Orlando, Florida.
