Shola Kaye | The journey from professional singer to TEDx speaker

I was fortunate enough to be joined for my show by Shola Kaye. Shola is an amazing speaker and she's become known for speaking and teaching empathy and inclusion in the workplace and taking this message out into the corporate landscape to change how we see and do business. Operating with empathy is not optional and the old models of hard as nails, low empathy business leaders are heading to the graveyard of bad business ideas, where they belong.

Shola has been a TEDx speaker and she talks about that experience with me and how a pair of earrings ruined her TED talk. We had a great time chatting about what happens when things go wrong and also about being heard and stepping out of comfort zones, and more besides.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the chat as much as I did and Shola also shared a free resource from her website SholaKaye.com and to download her FREE resource, click here. Take a look for her book 'How to be a DIVA at public speaking'. You can connect with Shola on LinkedIn and other social networks.
