306. The Two Minute Method with Lizzie Williamson

Being invited to speak on a panel is one thing. Making sure people remember what you said? That's another thing entirely. Panel speaking is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your expertise, connect with an audience and build your profile. But there's an art to standing out without dominating the conversation or sounding like you've rehearsed every answer. In this episode I share three essential tips for making your mark on your next panel, plus a few practical things to tick off your preparation list before you take the stage. In this episode, you'll discover: Prepare your points, not your answers. Go in with a clear idea of what you want to communicate, the problem you solve and what you'd like to be known for. Have a strategy, not a script, so you can respond naturally and stay in flow. Use soundbites and stories. Give people something memorable to take away. Learn how to create quotable one-liners and bring your expertise to life through stories that connect with your audience. Collaborate, don't compete. A panel is a team sport. Learn how to build on what other panelists say, engage with the conversation and keep the audience at the centre of everything you share. My panel preparation checklist covers: Choosing an outfit that works when you're actually sitting down (yes, even your socks!) Building rapport with the moderator before the event Working out how much time you realistically have to answer each question Whether you're a seasoned speaker or stepping onto a panel for the first time, these tips will help you move beyond simply answering questions and start making a lasting impression. Remember: you've been invited to that panel for a reason. Own it! Ready to take your speaking to the next level?

What if some of the phrases you use every day are actually holding you back? In this episode, I'm doing a little verbal spring clean with 10 phrases I'd love to see put in the bin. From "I'm bad at public speaking" and "I hate my voice" to "I'm too busy" and "I can't afford it", we're exploring how the language we use shapes the way we see ourselves, communicate with others and approach opportunities. I'll share why these phrases deserve a rethink, what to say instead and how small shifts in language can create a bigger shift in possibility. Your voice matters. Make sure your words reflect that. 🔗 LINKS: Get your copy of my book VOICEPRINT NOW - https://www.sallyprosser.com.au/book ✨ Get the VOICEPRINT CODES ORACLE CARD DECK: AUS/NZ CLICK HERE OUTSIDE AUS/NZ CLICK HERE NEW CLIENTS - 60 min 1:1 BOOK HERE Want to explore what’s holding your voice back? Book a free chat HERE  RESOURCES:🎤 The Magnetic Voice Formula   FREE 🔥Fear to Fierce - USD$99🔮 Soul Speakers Membership 📺 Follow along on socials @sallyprosservoice @thatvoicepodcast

What happens when opportunity comes knocking, but you don't feel ready? When I lost my voice just days before a major speaking gig, I called on fellow speaker and leadership coach Cherie Canning to step in. With less than 20 hours' notice, she said YES – and absolutely smashed it. In this episode, we unpack what it takes to step up at short notice, trust your experience and back yourself when the butterflies kick in. We also chat about the power of being visible, how speaking opportunities can open unexpected doors, and the role of coaching and community in growing your confidence and career. Plus, Cherie shares her experience inside my Soul Speakers Advanced program and why investing in yourself can change what's possible.

You can be an exceptional communicator and still miss one of the most important leadership skills: understanding the person in front of you. In this episode, I explore the leadership communication blind spot that highly self-aware, growth-minded leaders often have — focusing so much on improving themselves that they overlook how to read, support and develop others.
