Is Your Presentation Repelling Clients? 3 Proven Strategies to Make Your Speaking Attract the Right Audience
Is your presentation attracting the right clients—or just checking a box?
Too often, I see entrepreneurs and professionals settle for “good enough” talks. Maybe it's a reused slide deck, a quick rehearsal, or a surface-level outline that feels... fine.
But those kinds of presentations could actually be doing more harm than good when it comes to building your reputation and growing your business.
In this episode, I share what’s at stake when you play it safe—and exactly what to do instead to elevate your presentation from passable to powerful.
You’ll learn three key strategies to instantly uplevel your speaking:
**1. Understand where your audience is in their journey.**
Tailoring your message to meet your audience where they are is essential—whether they’re beginners or seasoned professionals. I’ll show you how to assess their needs before you even step on stage.
**2. Structure with intention, not overload.**
Avoid the temptation to cram everything you know into your talk. Instead, I walk you through how to build your presentation using a story arc that captures attention and delivers depth.
**3. Align your content with your business goals.**
Your talk should attract the types of clients and opportunities you truly want. I share how to shape your message so it speaks directly to your ideal audience—and repels the rest (yes, that’s a good thing!).
You’ve invested too much in your expertise to let your message fall flat. This episode reminds you to stop settling—and start speaking with the clarity and confidence your brand deserves.
