Now, she is turning her horrific story into an inspiring presentation. She recently called me for some advice and tips on public speaking and how to properly tell her story for an audience. With her blessing, I recorded our coaching call and am offering it to you - raw and uncut - in this podcast.   Mindy\u2019s backstory:   In 2016, Mindy was walking her 5 month-old son Tristan when they were hit at a crosswalk by a distracted driver. Tristan was killed instantly by the impact. Mindy was badly injured. During this coaching call, Mindy explains the unthinkable grief, guilt and pain that felt following the event. But she also explains why she\u2019s now eager to use her experience for the betterment of others.    It was a very emotional call, as we dug into the details of the event and precisely how this story can be told to engage and impact an audience. \u201cWow, thank you. Now I feel far more empowered. I feel more at ease. This feels more natural to me which gives me a lot more confidence and assurance. I feel like it\u2019s a natural extension of me now instead of forcing myself into a box.\u201d    In this episode, you\u2019ll learn:   The 3 objectives of a speech: what you want the audience to think, feel and do Why a public speaker needs to convey their authority on a subject What kept Mindy going when she was at her absolute lowest What motivated Mindy to want to share her story publicly The correct emotions that will move an audience, and which ones not to use in a speech The 4 factors of influence: authority, social proof, consistency & reciprocity How writing a speech is different than writing a book How to properly begin a speech The method I use to \u201cmemorize\u201d a speech  Why Mindy originally chose to \u201csoften\u201d the details of the story, and why I advised her not to How to use \u201cThe Bounce\u201d in a talk to directly speak to your audience during a story How I use graphics and pictures to memorize a talk Quotables:    \u201cIn the fear there\u2019s something beautiful.\u201d   \u201cI\u2019ve done scary things before and I\u2019ve done it by surrendering to the process and moment by moment trying to be grounded in what it is I\u2019m supposed to learn.\u201d   \u201cSo many people will think they don\u2019t have the ability to be courageous because they\u2019re still feeling the fear.\u201d   \u201cYou\u2019re not writing a book or a story. You\u2019re reliving and unpacking a moment with us.\u201d   \u201cYou can not  be wrong telling your story. I know you have the courage and bravery to share it in a way that\u2019s going to be life-changing for the audience.\u201d   \u201cI want them to crack open enough so they can love themselves just a little bit more at the end of the day.\u201d Links mentioned in this episode:   Robert Cialdini\u2019s book \u201cInfluence\u201d    Lisa Nichols    My TEDx Talk \u201cHacking Possibility\u201d Join The YES Effect Inner Circle Facebook Group for a behind the scenes experience about what it means to Believe, Belong and Become!   Join Shelli on Facebook Join Shelli on Instagram Join Shelli on YouTube Podcast producer: Adam Liefl ","author_name":"The YES Effect","author_url":"http:\/\/www.TheYesEffectShow.com","html":"
