Geetesh: Sally, you are delivering the Go Big! session at this year’s virtual Presentation Summit. Can you tell us more about this session, and what secrets to living bigger, braver and bolder mean?
Sally: Your playing small does not serve the world, so how can you move through what holds you back and show up with more authenticity, clarity, and courage?
This keynote is a super fun (and interactive) experience that will give you that extra nudge to do the thing that you’ve been *wanting* to do… but haven’t yet taken the leap to do. As an oft-titled “professional nudger” (and speaker and coach) myself – I have spent years standing with people in the “sidelines” of their biggest dreams, nudging them into risk. So – what’s keeping you from the spotlight? And how can we help you start to go bigger, faster (and stop waiting on the sidelines)? I’ll share some of the most powerful shifts you can make to help you begin to #showupanyway, take bigger risks, and trust yourself in the biggest of moments.
Geetesh: Tell us more about BeMoved, your podcasts, and your work. Also, if there’s one tip you can provide on how speakers can connect better with their audiences, what would that be?
Sally: I’ve been both a speaker and a coach for nearly three decades – which means my time is spent either coaching speakers to become more impactful and generate more leads and revenue with their speaking – or, out speaking and training on how to overcome self-doubt to bring your voice and ideas out into the world in a more impactful way.
I’m also the host of the Permission Slip Conference, a daylong “shot in the arm” conference for female entrepreneurs to give them tactical strategies and inspirational fuel to dream and do bigger. My book, Speaking Story, came out in February 2024 – and hit the #1 best-seller list on Amazon in 4 different categories.
