You don't have to be fearless to grab the microphone, sometimes, you just need someone to show you how to find your voice.

Most people think you need years of experience or fancy credentials to craft a talk that truly connects. But what actually matters is learning how to turn your real-life struggles and lessons into words that hook an audience—and open doors you never imagined. This is about showing up as yourself, sharing what’s shaped you, and discovering how your story can move others to action.

This is behind the scenes episode with Drenda, who joined IN Demand Signature Speech to give a presentation at her place of work on her favorite topic, the disempowering stories we tell ourselves.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to turn your personal journey into a talk people remember, so you attract new opportunities and ideal clients.
  • Ways to deal with tech disasters on stage, so you stay calm and in control when the unexpected happens.
  • The power of sharing vulnerable stories, so your audience feels seen—and wants to connect with you further.
  • Why a repeatable framework for talks can make speaking easy and help you show up prepared every single time.
  • How confidence grows by taking action, not waiting for “someday,” so you stop holding back and start growing your impact.
