Podcast Highlights
Length: 15 minutes, 27 seconds
Cindy Ashton fell into public speaking. ” I never even wanted to be a public speaker and I resisted it for a really long time,” she said. But when enough people asked her about her story of overcoming obstacles, she caved and started to share her story of surviving a variety of health conditions that “should” have prevented her from ever becoming an entertainer. In this episode, she shares her thoughts on how to find your unique story, voice or hook so that you can command the stage with authenticity.
Cindy Ashton’s Big Tip: Ask yourself, “What is the thing you do most naturally?” she says. “And it’s a thing that has no effort. It’s the thing that people compliment you on all the time, that you take for granted. Because that’s her greatest strength.”
