Grace Under Pressure with Lisa Wentz

MISSION
About this episode

“You can choose to play it safe and still fail, so why not go after what you want?”

Lisa Wentz is an author, voice coach and motivational speaker. She recently published her first book Grace Under Pressure: A Masterclass in Public Speaking. In addition to her writing, Lisa’s taught public speaking to executives and leaders at Salesforce, Adobe, Oracle, Fitbit and countless others. And, because that’s apparently not enough to keep her busy, she is also the founder of the San Francisco Voice Center, which provides a place for business leaders of all levels to practice and master public speaking and articulation.

In today’s episode, Chad and Lisa sit down to discuss her new book, how experiences in your childhood can shape your ability to speak and articulate clearly and how to overcome any speaking inhibitions you may be harboring today.
