Get on a stage. Be seen. Build awareness. But in this episode, I sit down with presentation strategist and communication expert Aurora Gregory to talk about why speaking is actually one of the most strategic forms of brand-building PR available to leaders right now. Aurora has spent more than 25 years behind the scenes helping executives, entrepreneurs, and experts turn complex ideas into clear, compelling presentations that connect and convert. And what she shares in this conversation reinforces something I deeply believe: Speaking isn\u2019t performance. It\u2019s connection. And connection is trust. In this episode, we explore:   What event planners and podcast hosts actually look for when choosing speakers   Why your written pitch matters more than your speaker reel at first   How to create a signature talk that positions you clearly and memorably   The biggest mistake speakers make when they try to \u201cteach everything\u201d   How to ethically and effectively move an audience to action   How speaking fuels real business growth \u2014 not just visibility   Aurora also introduces her \u201cGet Picked\u201d framework, a strategic approach to helping speakers land stages by clearly articulating the transformation they deliver \u2014 not just their credentials. This episode will shift how you think about using your voice, your ideas, and your expertise to build a brand people trust. &amp;nbsp; Guest Links&amp;nbsp; Website: https:\/\/auroragregory.com\/ The Stage Whisperer Podcast: https:\/\/auroragregory.com\/podcast Aurora\u2019s FREE One Page Wonder Speaker Webpage Checklist: https:\/\/getpickedtospeak.com\/checklist Connect on LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/auroragregory\/    Brand for Good Links Email your thoughts about this episode:&amp;nbsp;connect@prosperforpurpose.com Join the Peerless Brands Facebook community by Prosper for Purpose:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/peerlessbrands Follow me on LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lorraineschuchart\/ Follow Lorraine on Instagram:&amp;nbsp;@lorraineschuchart Follow Prosper for Purpose on Instagram:&amp;nbsp;@prosper4purpose Additional resources from Prosper for Purpose:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.prosperforpurpose.com Episode Link:  https:\/\/theprosperproject.libsyn.com\/website\/episode-174-get-picked-public-speaking-framework-with-aurora-gregory ","author_name":"Brand for Good","author_url":"https:\/\/prosperforpurpose.com\/prosperproject\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39623805\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/39623805"}
