Hi Coach,

I was recently a guest on Trevor Lee’s Better Presentations More Sales podcast, and it was a fantastic conversation you don’t want to miss.

The episode is titled Don’t be a people pleaser, and we dove deep into the problem of people pleasing, especially in the context of delivering presentations.

It’s a challenge I’ve been targeting, and there’s a lot I unpacked in this interview that I haven’t shared before.

One of the key takeaways from the interview is the four-step framework I use to prepare for every presentation – it’s how I walk into every speaking opportunity with confidence, even when there’s no time to prepare.

Here’s a sneak peek at the framework:

1. Question: Start with a question that disarms your audience and gets them thinking.
2. Story: Share a story that illustrates the problem and brings your point to life.
3. Result: Show the outcome your audience can achieve by applying what you’re teaching.
4. Challenge: End by challenging your audience to take action.

We also discussed why people pleasing is such a dangerous trap for presenters and how aiming for respect before likeability is the key to making a real impact.

The episode is only 35 minutes long, and it’s packed with practical advice on how to step into your authority as a speaker.

If you’ve been struggling with confidence or getting your audience to engage with your message, this episode is for you.
