This is a YouTube video titled "Book your first speaking gig in fitness" containing a monologue or talk from November 18, 2024, focused on public speaking advice for coaches in the fitness industry, emphasizing the importance of choosing topics that truly matter to the speaker rather than just audience appeal.
Figuring out what your message really is. Where I see a lot of coaches and a lot of people in general go wrong with this as it pertains to public speaking. Our industry, of course, as the example. I've been in the industry for close to 15 years. You know, a lot of things. You could speak to a lot of different things. And when coaches are selecting the topic that they're going to reach out to, events with, that they're going to try and speak with, they will typically pick a topic that they think an audience is going to receive well. And obviously, you want topics that there's interest and audience excitement about. Don't get me wrong, that's important. But if it's not something rooted in what really matters to you, you're not going to really show up for that talk in the same way.
