Joleene Moody on Conquering Fear for Public Speaking

Experts believe that public speaking is the primary fear of people. The idea of speaking in front of a large audience is enough to send someone to hide in a cave for the rest of their lives. But what if you can use this skill to market yourself, and land high paying deals you thought were impossible? Joleene Moody will open your eyes to the wonders of public speaking and what it can do for your life.
It’s not every day that we get to meet an expert like Joleene Moody. She’s a Central New York television reporter turned transformational speaker, author, and coach. In this podcast, Joleene allowed us to take a quick peek into her life during the time when she is just starting her business. She gave an inspiring story of how she volunteered as a speaker at Rotary Clubs in the New York State Area.
She offers easy to follow steps on how to wet your feet in the world of public speaking. She suggests feasible ways to find organizations that matche your niche, and she gives reasons why you need to accept a speaking engagement even if it means doing it for free.
Joleeene also offered tips on how you can market yourself through speaking among forums, meetings, and meetup.com. And she gave this wonderful idea of passing a jar inside the room so you can get the business cards of all attendees so that you can market your skills and provide value to them later on.
Best of all, she discussed why in this age where email marketing tends to rule the scene, it is still important to depend on a reliable phone call to follow up with potential customers.
