DELIVER A POWERFUL MESSAGE - WHEN SHARE YOUR PERSONAL STORY
This weekend, at church, we heard a PROLIFIC SPEAKER Bianca Olthoff 💃. I was HOOKED 🎣 the whole time.
Bianca shared her PERSONAL STORY of REJECTION & ACCEPTANCE, it was:
🧨 CAPTIVATING & MOVING
🧨 AUTHENTIC & VULNERABLE
🧨 POWERFUL & INSPIRATIONAL
🧨 RELATABLE & HILARIOUS
The title of her message: ‘HAVING A SEAT AT THE TABLE’ - knowing you’re always INCLUDED at God’s table...
Funny thing was, when we went out for lunch, after church, we were told there were no tables available and so we sat at the bar. Lo and behold, came along, sat right next to us and we had the honor of meeting her, chatting with her and having lunch at the same table.
🤔 Think about how you can USE YOUR PERSONAL STORY the next time you’re asked to speak.

Meet Natasha, another one of our amazing speakers for our upcoming workshop series!
Natasha Cruz- a British-trained and accredited educator- founded Great Orators -Public Speaking, with the sole focus of aiding individuals of all ages to become confident communicators. Through her easy-to-follow and enjoyable Five-Step Approach, any student can attain the status of competent communicator and speaker.
Natasha developed her processes after obtaining a degree in Pedagogy, working with children for many years, coupled with her fascination and study of neuroplasticity and having overcome her fear of public speaking. She is convinced that we all were born to speak, that fear is/was learned and thus can be unlearned and that good speaking habits can be adopted, restoring confidence levels in most any oratory situation.
Natasha founded Great Orators after moving to the United States and teaching at the British International School of Houston. She has over 20 years of experience and expertise. Prior to taking up residence in the United States, Natasha lived in South Africa, England, and remains a world traveler.

❌ INTROVERT is not a synonym for shy or lacking confidence.
💡 There are introverts who are very bold and confident (they just don't like to spend too much time with large groups of people)
💡 With the right training, help and practice - both INTROVERTS and EXTROVERTS, who lack confidence, can be bold speakers.

SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION is when we seek to UNDERSTAND each other.
3 WAYS WE CAN ACHIEVE THAT:
☑️ Get to know people that don’t look like us
☑️ Ask questions to understand
☑️ Don’t jump to conclusions without hearing others out
We want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today
His wise words ring TRUE.
Happy MLK Day!
