In this episode of Amplifying Authenticity, I sit down with Leisa Reid, speaker coach, founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now, and creator of the International Speaker Network, for a conversation about what it really means to use your voice with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
Together, we explore the journey from being helpful, prepared, and agreeable to becoming fully expressed. Leisa shares how she found her way back to the work she was meant to do, why speaking is about serving rather than performing, and how authenticity is less about perfection and more about connection.
We also dive into the challenges that hold so many people back, including overthinking, people-pleasing, and the pressure to say everything all at once. Leisa offers practical insights on crafting a meaningful message, creating signature talks, connecting with audiences, and embracing the idea that being adaptable does not make you inauthentic.
One of my favorite moments from our conversation is Leisa's perspective on authenticity: being clear about your yeses and nos and learning to ”get honest quicker.” It's a powerful reminder that our most authentic lives and leadership emerge when we stop trying to please everyone and start honoring who we truly are.
If you've ever felt called to share your voice, step onto a stage, or simply show up more fully as yourself, this conversation is for you.
