She Speaks Is Online!

Hey there, friends! Just a quick break in our usually scheduled posts to let you know that She Speaks is more accessible to you than ever this year.

Because of Covid 19 concerns, She Speaks is now online. Read below to learn all about it, and then keep reading to hear what Melanie and I are offering at the conference:

We are so excited to announce She Speaks 2020 is now She Speaks Online: A Communicators Conference.

For over 20 years, we’ve trained thousands of writers, speakers and ministry leaders in North Carolina at She Speaks.

We’ve curated the ultimate online conference experience just for you! We’ve included all the same things you know and love about She Speaks, plus new and exciting elements to take it to the next level, like:

Dynamic keynote speakers to give you biblical encouragement to walk out your calling.
Opportunities to connect with other women who share your same calling and interests.

Plus so much more!

Melanie and I will be teaching a session called “Laser-Like: How to Make Your Big Idea Unique, Potent, and Powerful.”

Here’s the description:

You’ve got a topic you’re interested in, one you think you want to turn into a written or spoken message. But what do you do next? Narrowing the idea for your speech, chapter, article or devotion will make your idea more unique and appealing to your audience. From over two decades of combined experience speaking, writing and editing, Melanie Chitwood and Amy Carroll will help you to:

Take steps to go from the chaos of overwhelming ideas to a unique message.
Learn to listen to God and others in a way that brings focus to fuzzy concepts.
Honor the process the leads to a great idea whether you’re a more organic thinker (like Melanie) or a more linear thinker (like Amy).
Find your most potent idea through practical hands-on exercises that can be replicated over and over when you get home.

Sound interesting? There will be a live Q & A with Mel and I after the session, so join us!

Working with Next Step Coaching Services was a joy! Through this process, my coach helped me discover my true niche and put short, descriptive phrases to my passions. She enabled me to succinctly articulate who I am, what God has done for me and what He’s given me to share with others. The process helped me fine tune my focus, making the point of my arrow sharper than ever before. Now, when friends and family look at my website and bio, they smile and say, ‘Oh, yeah….now that’s you to a tee!’

I can’t believe the progress that has been made in one year’s time! I truly believe that Next Step Coaching Services was part of the answer to that quiet prayer I kept whispering. Next Step helped me to affirm my calling and discover my gifts so that they could begin to shine for the One who gave them to me.

It was a pleasure to work with Next Step Coaching Services. My coach’s down-to-earth manner and infectious laugh immediately put me at ease and enabled us to work together effectively. Our coaching phone calls focused my thoughts on the heart of the message God has given me. She guided me to express that message in a way that is true to myself and appealing and inviting to others.

Next Step was exactly what I needed to push forward in ministry. Working with my coach helped me clarify the direction in which God was leading me. The process also helped me better understand the value I bring to my audience by helping me see how my varied experiences contributed to the trajectory of my ministry.

God has given me a gift, but to me it seemed like puzzle pieces waiting to be put together to form a complete picture. One by one, piece by piece, you are helping me to put the puzzle God has given me together. Before we started, I was totally confused as to where and how to begin but you have laid out an organized plan for me to follow enabling me to be obedient to His calling.

Working with Next Step Coaching Services not only helped me to create a clearer message, but my message is now distilled and far more potent. My confidence level has soared. I cannot recommend Next Step enough!

- Julie Gillies Speaker and Author of Prayers for a Woman's Soul

I wanted so badly to give this 30 minute talk without notes (except for the Bible passage I read). Well, God showed up in so many ways. I got away from the podium and engaged with the audience, but best of all I felt like God delivered a message through me that moved the women. I want to thank you for giving me the confidence I needed and encouraging me and teaching me. You are a gifted teacher and coach. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
