Delivered a speech again after concussions and now creating a flagship course
After concussions left Michelle with cognitive delays and speech difficulties, she wondered if she could ever deliver a speech again. The contest not only proved she could, but gave her content for social media and a flagship course she's creating.
After multiple concussions that led to cognitive processing delays, slowed memory, and speech therapy, I was wondering if I could deliver a speech again (as I had done many years ago as a profession).
Participating the the speech contest helped remind me what it takes to draft, rehearse, and record a speech. Posting the speech gave me a sense of accomplishment and watching the replay showed me where I can improve.
That speech is now content I am posting as social media short form videos as well as a key compenent in a flagship course I am creating in Expert to Authority Mastery.
