If you’re ready to feel natural, more confident, and comfortable with engaging the room, tune in to today’s episode and find out how.

Episode Introduction:

Stacey Shipman is the founder of Engaging the Room and helps individuals feel more confident and natural to create genuine personal connections while shedding the formalities set by those before them.

Episode Summary:

Stacey Shipman talks about the verbal forms of communication that are often anxiety invoking for individuals and how her approach helps eliminate the overwhelm as well as bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be in order to engage the room. She teaches us how to command the conversation and build genuine connections while speaking at an event, making a sale or even while having a day to day interaction with someone.

Main Takeaways:

Thinking about a great business idea is just the first step, you need to actively build connections and market that idea in order to monetize it.

If you really want to achieve something, you need to actively put in the effort to get it instead of being passive.
Stacey’s framework to achieve a goal:

Get curious: Have a clear vision in your mind.
Get support: Build relationships before you need them.
Do the work: Take imperfect action.

Every time we take a step forward, we learn, we grow and we evolve.
If something doesn’t feel right for us, we can’t do a good job on it for other people.
It is important to give yourself permission to shed the formality and do something differently.
We can create for the sake of its enjoyment, it doesn’t always have to be related to our business.
