Are you in motion or taking action?

I’m reading Atomic Habits by James Clear and he talks about the difference between taking action and being in motion.

Planning, strategizing and learning put us in motion. They feel productive without actually moving us closer to our goal.

Taking action delivers results.

For example, watching TED talks, reading articles about public speaking, rewriting the same slide over and over again are all in motion.

These are not the things to spend your time on.

Taking action is:

• Giving a talk

• Practicing for a few friends and soliciting feedback

• Raising your hand to lead the presentation before you feel ready

Want help moving into action?

I teach my clients 3 things:

1. How to get crystal clear on your message and articulate it in a way your audience cares

2. How to present your work with confidence in any situation

3. How to apply a growth mindset and change how you feel about communication forever

If you’ve been keeping yourself busy with lots of motion, and you’re ready to take action, let’s talk.

Here’s what my client Mimi said:

"Working with Madeline increased my public speaking and presentation skills significantly. Using her tools, I got through a Today Show interview with minimal nerves, have spoken on panels, and presented to an audience of 500 people."

I would love to talk to you. Grab a time for a free discovery call.

There's no better time to take action.

Hi, I’m Madeline.

I help quiet leaders speak up in a world of loud talkers and I help organizations articulate their vision in clear, concise messaging.

I've been called a lifesaver and a secret weapon and my superpower is listening. I can take all the ideas in your head and put them together in a way that makes sense and tastes good to other people.
