I should know better.

I feel awkward about it all.

They kept coming up.

And Brene used to say in her podcasts and her interviews, stay awkward, brave, and kind.

I love everything Brene says.

But every time she said that, I was like, okay, lady, stay kind.

Yes.

Stay brave.

I know that's important, but stay awkward.

No, thank you.

I have been trying to fight this feeling off my entire life.

And I got very curious about that and realized no one had studied this particular emotion in the workplace and the role that it plays in our collective performance.

Rehearse, refine, and be relentless about your craft.

I am, for as awkward as I felt, I will say transparently that I am an extrovert.

I'm not shy.

That said, I don't know many successful keynote speakers that get by on extroversion or charisma alone.

That's not enough anymore.

And so I have been obsessive

about refining my craft as a keynote speaker craft means the differentiation of your message in the age of ai why should someone listen to you when they can just put it into chat gpt or find a free youtube video right why are they going to pay money so there's the quality and differentiation of your message there's the quality of your delivery

Do you know how to specifically use your body, your arms, the inflection of your voice?
