Intro – 9 ways to SPEAK in your business
In this lesson, Sue shares nine impactful ways to start using your voice in your business - whether you’re speaking on camera, in-person, or behind the scenes. This isn't about waiting for the "big stage." It’s about showing up consistently, owning your message, and building confidence as you grow.
Sue also introduces her concept of “stars” - the communication methods that help you shine while staying authentic and aligned with your brand.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Start small and strategic: You don’t need a TED Talk - start by narrating your reels, showing up in your stories, or adding your voice to BTS content.
- Sales videos matter: Talking head videos for product launches or service offers build trust and convert.
- Networking is a goldmine: Local events often invite attendees to speak. It’s a great low-stakes way to get practice and visibility.
- Teaching builds authority: From workshops to online classes, teaching is one of the most valuable speaking paths.
- Podcast guesting and interviews offer a powerful way to share your story and grow your reach without managing the logistics.
- Hosting lives or webinars builds deep connection and trust—and positions you as a guide, not just a business owner.
