MwM Member Spotlight: Rose Madison Jenkins & Speak to Inspire Group Coaching - Ep 226

This episode is a member spotlight interview from my Marketing with Meller membership and learning community. Rose Madison Jenkins is a speaking and storytelling coach, transformational keynote speaker, and best-selling author who I was thrilled to spotlight here. She was referred into Marketing with Meller by longtime speaking community friend Liz M. Lopez, and it's easy to see why Liz raved about her. (Spoiler: Liz coined a phrase during this episode that I think you'll want to steal.) Rose shared how she helps speakers, professionals, and entrepreneurs craft the stories that draw in their ideal audience and further their purpose. We focused on her Speak to Inspire Group Coaching Program (a nine-week virtual cohort): how she helps complete beginners get over their fear and onto a real stage, how she helps experienced speakers go deeper and test new material, and why she ends every round with a live Night of Inspiration, where each student gets five professionally recorded minutes on stage.  In Q&A, Pam Lippitt asked about TEDx prep, Sam Jennings sparked a conversation about the neuroscience of stage fright versus excitement, and Rose shared her personal origin story rooted in military service, social work, and a childhood of being told children are to be seen and not heard. 00:00 Episode Preview 01:42 Member Spotlight Format 03:30 Meet Rose Madison Jenkins 04:10 The Speak to Inspire Group Coaching Program 05:50 Who It's For (Beginners and Veterans) 07:10 The Night of Inspiration and Five-Minute Stage Experience 09:00 The Five-Minute Formula: Story + Content Block 10:30 Value for Experienced Speakers 11:50 Professional Marketing Material as a Built-In Deliverable 13:10 Audience Q&A Setup 13:30 Pam Lippitt: TEDx Prep 15:40 Is This Program for Everyone?
