In this powerhouse episode of EPIC Begins With 1 Step Forward, Zander Sprague sits down with TEDx Brisbane curator and public speaking coach Juanita Wheeler to unpack the art—and science—of persuasive communication. Juanita shares her personal journey from self-described “screaming introvert” to global speaking strategist, revealing the deep research and psychology behind becoming a compelling speaker. She dives into what TEDx organizers really look for, how to craft a standout idea, and why perfection is the enemy of progress. The conversation also explores how to silence inner critics, why authenticity matters more than theatrics, and the power of starting—even when you feel you’re not ready. Juanita also shares her inspiring “Not Yet” list and how she’s turning midlife into a mission. Whether you’re TEDx-bound or terrified of the mic, this episode is packed with actionable insight and encouragement to take your first epic step forward.epicbegins.comFree E-bookApply to be a Guest on My TV show#EPICBeginswith1StepForward, #ZanderSprague, #TEDxOrganizer, #PublicSpeaking, #PersuasiveCommunication
