What's one experience in your life or career that changed the way you lead, work, parent, communicate, create, or live?

You don't have to share the whole story below.

Just name the lesson.

A good speaking story isn't your entire autobiography.

Please do not begin with:

“I was born on a Tuesday…”

Choose the moment that supports the lesson you're teaching.

Context.
Conflict.
Turning point.
Lesson.

Then move forward.

Your audience needs the story—not the director's cut.

Facts educate.

Stories create connection.

The best presentations often combine both.

Give people the lesson—but let them see where it lives.

What happened?
What changed?
What did you learn?
Why does it matter to them?

That's how information becomes memorable.

Walk onto the stage as if you belong there.

Not arrogantly.

Not apologetically.

Purposefully.

Someone sitting in that audience needs what you came to say.

Your audience is listening to your body before they fully process your words.

Shoulders curled inward can communicate uncertainty.

Constant shifting can communicate nervousness.

Strong posture, intentional movement, eye contact, and an open stance communicate:

I belong here.

Your body is part of your message.

Stage presence does not mean pacing from one side of the room to the other like you're trying to close your rings.

Movement should have purpose.

Move when you're transitioning ideas.
Plant yourself when you're making an important point.
Let stillness create emphasis.

Sometimes the strongest move on stage is not moving at all.

🎤 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🎤
Louder Than the Silence: Su***de Prevention and the Courage to Ask

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, but for Erica Gifford Mills, su***de prevention isn't something that belongs to one month, one campaign, or one social media post. It is personal.

In this deeply personal solo episode of Get Rooted Radio – Living It Up, Loving It Up, Letting It Go, Erica shares the story of her son, U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Conner Mills, and how losing him to su***de transformed unimaginable grief into a mission.

Erica talks candidly about the silence and stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within military and veteran communities, while breaking down su***de warning signs, what to say when you're worried about someone, what not to say, and why asking the uncomfortable question can save a life.

She also shares the story and mission behind Rooted In Service, created in Conner's honor to advance education, awareness, advocacy, and su***de prevention for active-duty service members, Veterans, their families, and the communities that love them.

This isn't an episode about statistics. It's about people. It's about conversations. It's about refusing to look away. And it's about becoming louder than the silence.

What matters more to you in a leader?
A. Confidence
B. Competence
C. Authenticity
D. Empathy
E. Accountability
My guess? The strongest leaders eventually need all five.
Which one gets your vote?

Authentic leaders aren't afraid to say:
"I don't know."
"I made a mistake."
"I need more information."
"That's a good point."
"I changed my mind."
Those statements don't weaken credibility. Used appropriately, they strengthen it.
Leadership isn't knowing everything.
Leadership is creating enough trust that truth can enter the conversation.

Leadership becomes exhausting when you're constantly performing a version of yourself you think everyone else wants.
Authenticity doesn't mean sharing everything with everyone.
It means your values, words, and actions are in alignment.
You aren't one person in the meeting and another when the door closes.
People don't need a perfect leader.
They need a real one they can trust.
