In this episode, I’m joined by Tanya Golash-Boza, who recently delivered her TEDx talk called “How to Kill a Neighborhood and Make a Profit” about how disinvestment in Black communities during the 20th century has led to gentrification in the 21st.

What does it mean to have a Big Idea and how can you find yours? I like to think of Big Ideas as ones that aren’t getting talked about in *your* circles, in your community or in your industry.

Many of us guest on podcasts and it’s an excellent way to increase your visibility and expand to new audiences.

If you’re an introvert, the thought of visibility, and maybe even the thought of public speaking, is one that you may be a little bit more hesitant to pursue.

With many of our speaking engagements and events forced to convert to online presentations and webinars, I know that a lot of us are excited to get back to in-person speaking (hopefully sometime in the later half of 2021).

Happy New Year! This is the 3rd year in a row I’ve done a trends episode for the start of the year.

I talk quite a bit on this podcast about signature talks - why you should have one and what goes into one.

You’d think after what happened in 2020, I’d shy away from projecting trends, but the trends I talked about a year ago surprisingly held up pretty well. (I recap them in this episode.)
What I mean by trends are not fads or cliches or gimmicks.
Trends are like currents or waves of energy that move through our society and affect everything from business and the economy to popular culture and media as well as our politics.
How do these trends impact our public speaking and thought leadership? Because as speakers and leaders, our talks and messages have more of an impact if our audiences can see the bigger picture of what’s affecting them and the world around them.
In this episode, you’ll learn 3 trends (and action steps for each) related to format, audience, and content that you can apply to your speaking and visibility, as well as to your business and marketing strategy in general.
