Building a brand as a full-time speaker might seem difficult, but that does not make it impossible. You have to start somewhere, be fueled by a genuine passion to change lives, be willing to do it for free at first, and be willing to keep refining your craft. Today we are thrilled to invite Molly Fletcher onto the show to speak about how she transitioned from being a sports agent to a world-class professional speaker using a mixture of passion, persistence, a growth mindset, and a willingness to serve. Molly talks about how her desire to help young aspiring sports agents led to her writing her first book. This led to a second book and a few speaking gigs until one day an audience member encouraged her to take speaking seriously as a potential career. We hear about the steps Molly took after that to promote herself online and how she approached every keynote delivery with a desire to overdeliver. In our conversation with Molly, we talk about how her passion for customer service results in happy clients across the board, which then translates into referrals that land her more and more opportunities to speak. She also speaks to the idea that it is the job of the speaker to build confidence in potential clients because when they invite somebody onto their stage, they are essentially placing their trust in a stranger. Molly is not just a brilliant speaker but a kindhearted person who finds as much pleasure in the success of others as her own, so tune in and prepare for a masterclass in personal branding as well as compassion.
