Episode 20 - Natalia Wiechowski

Natalia Wiechowski is a certified digital marketing professional and a Forbes Coaches Council member. She also holds a PhD in philosophy and social science. At age 29, Natalia decided to drastically change her life and career by moving from her native Germany to Dubai and becoming a personal branding strategist. Natalia believes that personal branding can be the key to having a dream life and a career of purpose.

In this episode, Natalia talks to Richard about how she found her quirky speaking style (by breaking the rules during her first speech, which was met with extremely positive feedback). She discusses how much of a role Toastmasters—a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs—played in her development as a professional public speaker.

She delves into her worst public speaking experience, which involved an unbelievably small audience and ants! She also explains why she encourages everyone to do something that scares them every day, and how this applies to public speaking.
