Getting Past Small Talk in Networking with Johanna Walker

<p>It’s amazing to meet people who feel one hundred percent calm and confident on stage, but who feel timid and uncertain in smaller, unstructured settings.</p> <p>Johanna Walker is a speaking and storytelling coach in Boulder, Colorado. Listen to how she describes her work and the beliefs that drive it:</p> <p>“I crack open opportunities for people to experience pure, raw truth, then watch them nail their presentations and watch their careers and their lives soar.</p> <p>I believe everyone has a story that can make a difference in someone's life.</p> <p>I believe that no matter what message you're trying to convey, you won't get anywhere till you truly connect with your audience.</p> <p>I believe in the power of bringing your whole body &amp; voice &amp; breath &amp; heart into the room, and speaking from there without apology, even when the idea of it scares the bejeezus out of you.</p> <p>I believe when you walk right up to your fear and shake its hand, tectonic shifts happen----in your life, your relationships, your business, your world.”</p> <p>I asked Johanna to bring some of the lessons she teaches about presenting onstage and to translate them for a different platform - the networking event.</p> <p>For more information about Johanna and her individual, group, and corporate programs, please visit <a href="https://johannawalker.com/">https://johannawalker.com</a></p> <p>For information about Boulder Story Slam events and workshops, please visit <a href="https://storyslamboulder.com/">https://storyslamboulder.com</a></p> <p>To download 10 Tips to Tell Stories That Attract Clients and Have a Greater Impact, please visit <a href="https://johannawalker.com/betterstories">https://johannawalker.com/betterstories</a></p>
