Summary
Do you ever feel that quiet pressure to perform every time you show up? Whether it's going live on social media, leading a team call, or stepping onto a stage, it's like there's an invisible weight telling you to prove something.
And if you've been taught to push, promote, and pitch your way through it, you've probably noticed it leaves you feeling disconnected and drained.
In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and speaking expert Colin Boyd. We're having a real, honest conversation about what it looks like to lead and speak from a place of purpose instead of pressure.
This isn't just about becoming a better speaker. It's about making your leadership the strategy so your business can feel like peace and purpose again.
Some of the top leaders in our space turn to Colin to help them speak, sell, and lead with authenticity. If you're ready to stop performing and start leading in a LOVE-LED™ way, this episode is for you.
You can also check out Colin's new book, One Presentation Away, at www.onepresentationawaybook.com. It will help you become an irresistible communicator and connect with the people you're called to serve.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bob here. |
| 0:02.5 | Welcome to the Your Virtual Upline podcast. |
| 0:10.5 | The more you move into leadership, the more you become really like a big brain, a big heart and a big mouth. It's like it's less about the |
| 0:23.6 | physical things you do and more about the words you speak and the way you connect. |
| 0:31.5 | So here's one thing that I can tell you for sure. If you are currently in a position of leadership or you aspire to lead others in a big way, |
| 0:43.4 | you feel called to do that, I'm going to guess most of you fit that category if you're |
| 0:48.3 | listening to this show. |
| 0:50.1 | I can attest from personal experience learning how to develop the skill of speaking and communicating |
| 0:56.6 | in public has been one of the most powerful ways for me to impact and influence others. |
| 1:04.1 | You know, public speaking was something that has always been a great fear of mine. |
| 1:08.9 | I might even go, it was been my greatest fear my whole life. |
| 1:12.2 | And I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that, that in our business, we're put in positions |
| 1:16.6 | where we have to speak in public in front of groups and share our story, whether that's virtually |
| 1:23.1 | or in person. And, you know, when you think about leadership, that's all it is, is really you're |
| 1:28.1 | communicating to audiences and trying to influence their actions. And, you know, this is a topic |
| 1:33.4 | we've not really addressed that often on this show. And so I'm excited today to share an |
| 1:38.4 | episode with you where we dive deep into the topic of presenting and public speaking. And so whether you're in a position |
| 1:46.7 | today where you do that and you're looking to get better or just somebody that is aspiring |
| 1:52.5 | for more because, you know, public speaking and a stage is also content. Every time you're on |
| 1:57.5 | video, that's a virtual stage. So I'm, I've invited a good close friend mine, Colin Boyd, to join me on the show. And I'm going to share an interview that I did with him. Colin is someone I've known for a long time. I've respected. He's a genuinely good human being. You know, he's a father. He's a man of faith. He's an expert on public speaking and communicating. And he wrote a book. |
| 2:20.8 | It's called One Presentation Away. We'll talk a little bit about that book. It's definitely one I'm |
| 2:25.7 | going to pick up. Hopefully you'll do the same. We'll give you some information on how to do that. |
