Launched second book and building platform on grief through YouTube

Quick summary

Alison transformed how they communicate about grief, learning to weave storytelling and humor into their message. They've since launched a second book, started a YouTube channel, and gained the courage to actively seek speaking opportunities at conventions.

My subject can be challenging, Grief. I wanted to work on getting my message "out there," in a way that would land better with people. I wanted to build on my speaking performance to enable me to do that.

I'd been taught the 4 mat system before but that could feel a little regimented. Eric showed us the power of story telling, and after getting two coaching segments with him (my new claim to fame) I am now working to wrap people in the conversation, and know its ok to bring some funny experiences into the talk.

Since the programme ended I have launched my second book and now look to build my platform talking about grief through my Youtube Channel. We have no toast masters where I live, therefore have the courage to reach some people that I know to see if they will have me to speak at their conventions. On the back of this course, I did the video below.
