TALLsmall Productions

TALLsmall fall tour kicks off with the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA)’s Evansville, Indiana chapter at The Broadmoor in Colorado.

Teaching a workshop this week here on how to use ChatGPT as a power tool to analyze, brainstorm, produce and delegate.

Yes, metrics matter. But I’ve found another way to get raw audience feedback after a TALLsmall keynote or workshop. It happens in a place where truth is bared and not spared…

TALLsmall Confession: I Hide Out in Bathroom Stalls After We Speak Here's a conference secret. Once our keynote or workshop ends and the side conversations wrap up, I make a beeline for the bathroom, slip into a stall, lock the door and listen.

"I just wanted to follow up…”

Avoid using this phrase. It is doormat language. It sounds apologetic, insecure and invites people to walk all over you.

Instead, ask where the project, proposal or decision stands.

Every keynote starts long before the first word.

It's the conversations in the hallway. The audience members who stop you afterward. The questions that continue over coffee.

Speaking isn't about delivering information. It's about creating conversations that continue long after you leave the room.

Do you have an inner-critic squatter living in your mind rent free? It's time to use your self-talk to soar instead of to self-sabotage.

Join us tomorrow night at 7p EST for an interactive webinar on how to turn your inner critic into a coach.

The funeral profession sits at the intersection of empathy, pressure, family dynamics, logistics, and emotion. How leaders communicate shapes trust, eases tension, and influences how families experience some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Keith Scott and I were honored to kick off the National Funeral Directors Association's Women's conference. Along with our TALLsmall keynote about communicating with charisma, compassion and clarity, we led two breakout workshops on taking charge of our Self-Talk.

Dollar Bread. Detox. Self Defense.

When you include everything, nothing stands out.

We see this in presentations, meetings and job interviews. In the desire to say it all, the message gets diluted.
