Build a Professional Speaking Career in Corporate with Andy Storch

On today’s episode of the REAL Personal Branding podcast, Lauren interviews her friend Andy Storch. Andy is an author, keynote speaker, community builder, and podcast host. His book, Own Your Career, Own Your Life, helps corporate professionals stop drifting and take control of their futures. Andy regularly speaks inside organizations to teach and inspire employees to create their own careers. He is also the founder and host of the Talent Development Think Tank Conference and membership community. Andy is a husband, father, and friend on a mission to get the most out of life and inspire others to do the same.

During their conversation, Lauren and Andy explore the creation of his successful corporate-speaking business, overcoming testicular cancer, and maintaining positivity while overcoming big personal challenges. Andy shares what prompted him and his wife to move to Barcelona and start a new life, his background in the corporate world, and how he discovered a natural gift for speaking in front of a crowd.

You’ll hear Andy’s advice for building a speaking career and becoming an authority figure on your topic, the personal growth he’s had since starting his business, and taking advantage of your network to build connections that can help your career progress. Andy also offers virtual speaking engagements and shares how he engages those audiences, just like in person. Additionally, you’ll learn how to build a personal brand in the corporate world, why giving without expectation creates good karma, and why goal-setting is essential for success in any venture—personal or professional.

Andy Storch’s positivity is contagious, and his positive attitude surrounding learning from your failures and mistakes is something we can all learn from.
