Living Your Legacy · How a Terrified Hairdresser Became a Public Speaking Coach · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So I stepped away from behind the chair and started a business helping people with speaking.

Well, at first I wanted to help other hairdressers because I'd done this very rigorous, intense, advanced training.

Kind of.

It was really because I wanted to work with the stylists and other salons.

That's really what it was.

It wasn't really that because that for me was more about listening than anything else.

So it was more about listening and sales, selling products, selling ideas.

But it was really when I wanted to start teaching other stylists and other salons that the speaking thing came into being.

And it didn't go well at first.

And I realized if I wanted to make that difference, I had to learn.

Well, what I didn't know and I didn't really put it together for a long, long time is that you need to prepare.

You know, I mean, some people can.

Some people are good.

I think they're the exception, the unicorns.

They can just get out there and just do their thing.

But most people don't operate that way.

And I was not prepared and I didn't know what I didn't know.

I didn't know I wasn't prepared and prepared.

people who who did those sort of trainings were the ones that were the unicorns they were getting out they're like oh you just talk about what you're doing while you're doing it except that that doesn't work for everybody and it didn't work for me i'm such a firm believer in like preparation is the key to like even in film we spend time

I think it's extremely important.
