261. Catch curveballs with confidence
What do you do when things don’t go to plan on stage? A tech glitch, a wardrobe mishap, a tiny audience when you expected a full house?
This week, I’m fresh from 4 speaking gigs in 4 days — and let’s just say, the curveballs came flying!
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes to share 5 real-life moments that didn’t go as expected and exactly how I handled them.
You’ll hear:
💡 How to adapt when your audience isn’t what you expected
💡 Why a wardrobe “malfunction” can actually work in your favour
💡 The best way to hold your presence through tech issues
💡 What to do when you miss a cue or forget a part of your talk
💡 How to turn a chaotic speaking environment into deep connection
Because here’s the truth: no speaking gig ever goes exactly to plan. That’s why we prepare in the masculine — with content, notes, practice and briefing calls — but deliver in the feminine: flowing, adapting, and connecting in the moment.
The show must go on. And with the right skills, confidence, and mindset, every curveball becomes a chance to shine even brighter.
