This week's Pivot podcast episode was recorded while on the road, preparing to speak at the International Monetary Fund to help them kick-off new career programs for 2020 (an honor!).
Thankful for a quiet hotel room all to myself in the midst of puppy-training (semi)chaos, I stacked a call with my attorney for a licensing contract, then recorded this interview and two solo shows — true to this week’s topic of navigating life as a professional speaker!
Grant and I discuss guidance from his new book, The Successful Speaker: Simple Steps to Make a Living Off Your Message, on everything from pricing, to outreach, to navigating life on the road.

FAVORITE FINDS 'ROUND THE WEB:
Reading & Listening: Future authors, you might be interested in Before and After the Book Deal: A Writer's Guide to Finishing, Publishing, Promoting, and Surviving Your First Book. I heard a great interview with the author in the NYT Book Review podcast; that episode also covers a much-lauded recent release from Jenny Offill, The Weather.
Tool: For highly sensitive types like me, room noise can be a real distraction (and quite distressing if you're trying to carry on a conversation!). I was delighted to find the SoundPrint app via The New Yorker's feature, Yelp for Noise.
After you run a 15-second room noise detection, you can upload the data to share with other SoundPrinters. And feel redeemed knowing you're not crazy if the room level reads LOUD 🤪
