This is a great time to be a speaker. Yes, the pandemic shut down our traditional speaking venues, but today’s internet technology offers virtual speaker spaces with the potential to reach larger – even global – audiences from your desk at home.
Despite our pains and because of them, this is a season of possibility for those with healing, inspirational, and motivational messages to share, and this episode with Clarissa Burt – media personality, producer, and author-speaker – will leave you clear and confident about getting the word out.
