Coloring Outside the Lines: Own Your Sparkle with Tina B
Manage episode 479772934 series 3589118
What happens when a big-hearted farm girl turns Muppet-inspired porch performances into TED Talks and global keynotes?
Tina B. joins Lauri for a soulful, sparkly conversation on intuition, presence, and the power of letting your full self be seen. From the fifth-grade teacher who believed in her voice, to a Paris keynote gone sideways (and back again), to 30 days of Facebook Lives in her sweats—Tina shares what it really means to speak from your truth—slides or no slides, fear and all.
If you’ve ever dimmed your light, doubted your story, or wondered how to truly connect when you speak, this one’s for you.
TAKEAWAYS
1. Being seen is powerful.
2. Presence trumps perfection every time. You don’t need perfect slides to make an impact.
3. Storytelling is a muscle. No matter where you’re starting, you can train your ability to speak magnetically,
4. Intuition is a superpower. Learning to “yes, and” your own inner voice creates magic - on stage and off!
5. Let go of the need to be impressive. Focus on being interested, not interesting.
6. PowerPoint isn’t Preparation. Soulful speech prep is rooted in energy, intuition, and doing it out loud and on your feet.
7. Magnetism isn’t one size fits all. Your disco ball might be someone else’s white fluffy pillow, and both are beautiful.
8. Comparison is a story that silences. The more we embrace our uniqueness, the more magnetic we become.
9. Magnetism = Heart + Truth + Sparkle. It’s not about being loud, it's about being real.
