If you want something to happen, you gotta work for it yourself!

In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking my guest is native Italian, Fab Giovanetti.

Fab is an award-winning author, entrepreneur and marketing consultant helping busy professionals reclaim their time. She’s also the CEO and head teacher at Alt Marketing School, supporting people making a positive impact through their marketing. She aims to help people grow their online audience, monetise their content and unleash their potential as creatives.

Fab is a speaker and podcast host too. I first met her at this year’s You Are The Media Creator Day where she bounced onto stage and delivered her message with such energy and enthusiasm that I wish she’d been my head teacher!

Her school, Alt Marketing School, teaches positive impact marketing to professionals who want to do marketing differently. Her students learn how to market to hearts, not brains with unique, live cohorts featuring flexible curriculums.

She’s on a mission to help 100,000 professionals from all walks of life market to hearts, not brains, to connect with fellow marketers and business owners tired of the 'old way of marketing'. The movers. The shakers.

From Picking Pears to working in Nando's this Italian gal from a small country town, learned the value of patience, acceptance, and attention to detail. More importantly, if you want something to happen, you gotta work for it yourself.

We had a fascinating and lively chat about Speaking, teaching, modern marketing, humility, practice and progress!

This was the last Speaking About Speaking in this format. Stay tuned to find out what happens next!

In this previously live solo episode of Speaking About Speaking, I talk about my acting training and experience of being an actor. I explain how I use them to get clients comfortable with their content, confident in themselves and excited to be in front of their audience.

I discuss the importance of a physical warm-up for your body and face, and how to breathe for performance. Why playing games builds trust and positivity and why fully owning your ‘back story’ helps you to speak confidently.

I’ll also touch on Master Voice Teacher and author, Patsy Rodenberg’s concept of 2nd Circle energy and how you can use it to ‘reclaim your presence’. Fascinating stuff!

"The accident stripped my confidence."

Alix is a freelance journalist, copywriter and certified cheese addict.

She has a love for academics, having studied both journalism and law and having managed to combine the two – with one of her varied positions a media reporter for a criminal barrister on the island of Bermuda!

Alix started out as a feature writer for lads’ mags in the early 2000s and learned early in her career that she had a knack for writing for very different audiences. From humorous articles one day, to in-depth white papers the next, she loves a writing challenge.

Alix and I have met several times at You Are The Media events; I even gave her a very speedy hug at Creator Day this year as she attempted to break the most hugs in a minute world record (she came very close!)

With her varied career and personal challenges, Alix has an incredible story that she wants (and should) share with the world. To that end, she has enrolled in my Speak Like a Speaker Club and very bravely put herself forward for Matt Denyer’s Failed Nights event next year, where she’ll speak for 15 minutes on her ‘failures’! Despite the title, it’s an uplifting and humorous event full of love and learning. (I spoke this year and had a riotous time!)

This was a lively 30 minutes. Alix’s story despite the life-changing accident that nearly killed her is uplifting, humorous and inspiring.
