Kristina Bartold
Want more speaking opportunities? Getting on stage is only the beginning. How you show up can determine whether you get invited back.
In this solo episode of Community, Kristina is sharing the biggest mistakes she sees entrepreneurs make when speaking at events and how to turn public speaking into an opportunity to build authority, grow your community, and create meaningful business connections.
Tune in to hear:
- Why selling too hard from stage can hurt future speaking opportunities.
- How promoting the event can help you build stronger relationships with hosts and your community.
- Why giving away your best information builds more authority than gatekeeping it.
- How to provide valuable resources without making your presentation feel like a sales pitch.
- Why knowing whether you’re delivering a workshop or keynote matters.
- How preparation can help you stand out and get invited back.
If public speaking and landing more speaking opportunities are part of your business goals, this episode will help you show up with more value, confidence, and intention.
Tune into Community anywhere you get your podcasts to learn how to make the most of your next speaking opportunity and become the kind of speaker event hosts want to invite back.
