My guest today is Dr. Michelle Mazur, founder of Communication Rebel, a company helping speakers and entrepreneurs give birth to their talk or message that they want to be known for. Dr. Mazur is leading the presentation rebellion in an effort to help speakers communicate more effectively.

After teaching as a college professor for a few years, Dr. Mazur decided that she would rather teach outside the classroom. So she opened her own business helping other speakers. She is also the host of The Rebel Speaker Podcast and author of Speak for Impact: Write a Speech That’s Your Next Best-Selling Product.

What We Chat About:

• Why it’s important to be an effective speaker as a lawyer and as a business owner
• How to get clear on the message you plan on communicating to your potential clients/customers
• Lawyers have great argumentation skills but does that translate into being an effective speaker?
• For lawyers who want to host CLE or community workshops surrounding their practice areas, what is the best way to present to the audience?
• What is the forgetting curve and how can you avoid that as a speaker
• Why having a call to action at the end of your content is key
• What is the connection between being a good communicator and a good leader?
• Is there a difference between the way men and women communicate?
• Find something you’re good at and amplify those qualities.
• Why is storytelling so powerful?
