Podcast Highlights

Length: 18 minutes, 24 seconds

After learning that her husband of 10 years — the father of her children — was a long-time pedophile, Darlene Ellison started speaking about her story to help her and her children heal. This evolved into a full-time speaking and consulting business. In this episode, she shares her thoughts on how to read a room using body and facial cues.

NAME’s Big Tip: When people recommend that you practice your presentation, Ellison says, “It’s not because you need to memorize what you’re saying. That’s not what practice is about. Practice is about A) getting over those jitters if you have them when you get in front of people. And secondly, being able to become so calm and still within you, mind, body, that you are able to actually engage and catch those cues throughout the room.
