We had a great GoalChat on Amplifying Your Voice with Bobbie Carlton, Innovation Women; Liz H Kelly, Goody PR; and Cheryl Tan, Lights Camera Launch. All three approach elevating your expertise in different, but similar, ways. Bobbie, who talks about Visibility = Opportunity in 52 Secrets, message is: “Say Yes to public speaking;” Liz’s is “Let us magnify your good;” and Cheryl’s is, “Launch your signature show in 12 weeks.”
The panel shared tons of actionable advice, anecdotes, and encouragement for getting out of your comfort zone and amplifying you message.

Amplifying Your Voice #GoalChatLive
Goals
- Bobbie: Seek a perfect speaking opportunity. Decide what stage you need to be on, reach out, and make it happen!
