Have you ever had an opportunity to present the heart of your work – your soul’d calling – to a person or group in public, and struggled to really shine in the way that you long too? Recently, a new Facebook friend wrote that he was busily, preparing for a public speaking opportunity where he [...]

How to let your soul shine through your public speaking
Are you doing what you love?
When I was seven someone asked me “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I thought about it and replied… “I want to be an artist, a writer and a dancer!” As I spoke these words, they felt bold and almost cheeky. For me at that time, there was a kind of headiness [...]
