In this powerful conversation, I’m joined once again by my friend and speaking coach, Colin Boyd, to celebrate the release of his brand new book One Presentation Away: Become an Irresistible Speaker and Convert More Clients. We unpack what it really means to craft a conversion story—the kind of story that doesn’t just inspire but actually moves your audience to take action.  Colin shares his proven frameworks for designing presentations that sell, shifting from “information mode” to “decision mode,” and reframing the fear of selling into an act of service. Whether you’re speaking on stage, hosting a webinar, or leading a conversation online, this episode will help you master the art of influence and become the kind of communicator who changes lives—one presentation at a time.

I don't talk about where I went to university. I don't talk about when I got married. I don't go through how many kids I have. I don't go through all the different trainings that I did and certifications and the fact that I'm a CSP speaker and because all of that stuff is just, not really relevant. And so what you have to do is you have to find the story that is most relevant to the vehicle that you help people with.” - Colin Boyd GUEST RESOURCES: Get Colin’s Book One Presentation Away IG: https://www.instagram.com/colinboyd/ website: https://conversionstoryformula.com/ RESOURCES: 💡Just Launched: The Growth Collective: Monthly Coaching With Me—for just $1 Your content deserves to convert, not just be seen.
