These days, everyone has the power to be a broadcaster.

If you have a smart phone, you can go live online to the world right now. Does that idea make you nervous? You’re not alone.

This week’s Digital Hospitality guest Katy Temple turned an impressive 20-year sports broadcasting career into a new, but related, career path as founder and CEO of Katy Temple Media Coaching.

The communication skills that Katy Temple trains people in are incredibly valuable because everybody with a smart phone in their pocket can become a broadcaster these days. And with that potential reach can come apprehension, confusion, and fear.

So many people are afraid of public speaking, and broadcasting online is similar. Yet it's so incredibly important to running a business or building a brand.

You shouldn’t let fear stop you from communicating your message online, on camera, on a podcast, on a blog, and everywhere else you can.

“The general fear is being judged,” Katy Temple said on the Digital Hospitality podcast.

A CEO might be heavily invested in all parts of their business and create a beautiful product, but still be lacking and scared of promoting themselves to others.
“To hear their voice, to see them on video, it makes people shudder," Katy Temple said. "And I tell them that’s normal. Let’s fight through it today.”

Katy Temple’s job is often psychological. For example: when you look at a video of yourself, what do you first think? For many, it’s concerns over their appearance, or voice, or a nervous tick.

Those are just some of the mental barriers that get in the way of people going live on camera, or posting videos on social media. Katy Temple is ready to help you embrace the discomfort and plow through the road blocks in the way of your success.

Her coaching varies based on the client and their needs.

If someone requires help with content and messaging, then she can assist them in being more succinct instead of scattered. Another client might need assistance with intonation, on-camera presence, or eye contact, but not content creation.

Whatever it is that’s stopping you from communicating, Katy Temple Media Coaching is there to help push you forward.
Storytelling is Essential:If you’re not able to tell your story well, it’s hard to compel someone to action. Storytelling is the backbone of understanding information.

“It’s all about storytelling, which is messaging. We remember information at least 30 percent more when it’s told through stories," Katy Temple said.
“We’re connecting on stories. We’re connecting by emotion, we’re connecting by humor, we’re connecting with common passions and common goals. There’s various ways you can connect with a story.”

Katy Temple’s sports broadcasting story started in high school. That's when she found her “A-ha!” — or "Oh Shit!" — moment.

Sports is in her DNA.

“I was a tomboy, still am," Katy Temple said about growing up in the small agriculture town of Merced, California. "I grew up loving sports in the yard with all of my cousins, playing football and basketball on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and played all sports growing up. I was a sports junkie..."
