I just got off a coaching session with @Louis Katz and it was a ton of fun. Today was Day 1 of his FREE 1:1 coaching. Louis is a speaker on "Everyday acts of courage" and is such a cool guy. Like always, we start by honing in on his niche and messaging. We all know that niching down and specializing is key. When you work with a coach, sometimes having that sounding board is what gets the creative juices flowing. I love this process. Louis has done a lot of work with military and he said that the unsung heroes are the families of those servicemen and servicewomen. That was the kicker for me: how amazing would it be to have a speaker help highlight and encourage the partners who stay home. In his words: "they're keeping the home front going. It's tough for them. Service members don't get paid a lot" Who would hire a speaker like Louis? There are endless opportunities: 1. Military Family Support Organizations (National Military Family Association (NMFA), Blue Star Families) 2. Veterans Affairs (VA) Departments 3. Military Installations and Bases (spouse appreciation days or resilience training workshops) 4. Non-Profit Organizations Supporting Service Members (Operation Homefront, Fisher House Foundation) 5. Schools Near Military Bases 6. Corporate Veteran Resource Groups (VRGs) (Amazon Warriors, Home Depot Military) 7. National Guard and Reserve Family Programs 8. Faith-Based Organizations 9. Mental Health and Counseling Organizations (Give an Hour, Military OneSource) 10. Military Spouse Employment or Empowerment Programs (Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Program, InDependent) It took me about 30 seconds to create that list. Have you booked your 1:1 Coaching call yet? It's FREE for all community members and it WILL help you get speaking leads. See if you qualify: https://calendly.com/thefrequentspeaker/strategy-session

This is something that I really struggle with. I waffle all around. It's a struggle. I found this great video today.

I can't believe that the weather this weekend stayed warm and sunny here in Toronto. Usually it's chilly and wet at this time of year. At least the leaves are changing colours. But here it's Monday again. What goals are you setting for yourself this week?
