..you have to watch the video! 🥳 I didn't fully know what to expect when we launched this project. @Ben Sherry approached me with an idea, I think it was something else at first but then through dialogue we ended up at SKOOLx.. Almost 3 months have passed since that discussion and now we're announcing the winner. That's crazy. What's also crazy is how you've celebrated each other, come together to create something and created bonds that will last ❤️ Again I'm taken by the power of community and coming together 🙏 The winner of SKOOLx walks home with a free ticket to SPEAKERx. SPEAKERx is our extended live version of "SKOOLx" - weekly practice, coach feedback, refining your talk from idea to standing on a stage. We end it off with a finale where we meet IN PERSON, invite people (live audience), bring cameras and mics and pull off a real event! More info about SPEAKERx can be found here: https://headgain.com/speakerx I will reach out to all of the finalists over the next 24hrs, expect a ping in your DMs 🫡

The Day My Shoes Melted: A Powerful Lesson About Persistence and Finishing What Matters This is my official entry for SKOOLx, and it's now live for voting. My talk is about taking that next step to get to your goal. I'll be honest, putting this together pushed me. I wrote this over so many times and focused on it for days. Then, I practiced it for hours and hours. But I'm proud of myself for finally allowing it to be finished. Sure, it needs work. But isn’t that why they’re having this competition, to help us make it better? If you feel that this resonates with you, I'd really appreciate your vote. Every vote counts and my dream is to make it to the finals! So, I'd love to have your support behind me with your melted shoes! 😉 (No shoes were harmed in the making of this talk) Vote here: https://forms.gle/bbqBf65BFVQaqvmP7 Voting ends on Monday, June 22nd!

SKOOLx Entry Did you ever wish you had a higher IQ? No, seriously. Much higher. That question sent me down a rabbit hole involving: - a maths encyclopaedia, - East Germany, - a Möbius strip, - Barbados, - and a few pocket lions. 7:10 minutes. No edits. One take. If you're curious, come along.
