Brave Women at Work - A podcast by Jen Pestikas - Thursdays

Have you ever had sweaty palms before a speech? Have you ever felt like you could get sick before a big presentation because of nerves? If you answered yes, you are not alone. Yet, speaking in front of others is a necessary skill, especially if we want to have visibility and success at work and in life. This may sound dramatic, but I believe it’s a life skill. Both of my daughters go to swimming classes because it’s a life skill I want them to learn. And I talk about presenting like a boss because it is a skill I think we all should learn and continue learning throughout our lives. My guest today, Bobbie Carlton, is someone I consider to be very skilled in speaking. Bobbie and I have been running in the same circles for a while and she owns not one, two, or three businesses but FIVE of them, so I am grateful she made time to join me for this conversation. During our discussion, Bobbie and I talked about:1. How Bobbie came to own and run FIVE businesses and how she does it2. Bobbie’s tips on how we can move past our fear of public speaking.3. How Toastmasters and even an improv class can help.4. Why speaking can help us up our visibility personally and professionally.5. Why waiting for someone to notice our hard work is a mistake and how we need to speak up and advocate for ourselves6. How Innovation Women can be a great way for women to dip their toes into speaking and get the exposure they need.
