Endless skill up when you podcast
Your podcast is more than just online content for your brand: when used correctly, the podcast can boost your business, but the biggest boost will be in yourself!
Before diving into the actual skills, let’s take a minute to acknowledge that apart from the obvious improvement in your public speaking skills, all of these will only occur when you’re truly committed to growth.
The true up level only happens when you’re:
- willing to actually improve
- self-aware
- listening back to older episodes
- hiring a podcast coach in whatever need you have when you’re stuck.
Which skills do you master when you Podcast?
1. Improvisation Skills
Welcome to the world of podcasting, where improvisation takes center stage. As a podcast host, you'll quickly become a master of thinking on your feet, crafting engaging conversations on the fly, and navigating unexpected twists and turns with ease.
2. Interpersonal Skills
In today's digital age, many of us struggle to connect with strangers due to social anxiety or limited practice. But imagine honing your interpersonal skills while being in complete control of the conversation, discussing topics you're passionate about. Think of it as a safe space to practice socialization, even during a pandemic.
3. Interviewing and Listening Skills
Being a great interviewer means being an exceptional listener. A skilled host picks up on subtle nuances in their guests' responses, allowing for deeper, more engaging conversations. A well-prepared host knows that curiosity and flexibility, rather than sticking rigidly to a script, lead to compelling interviews.
4. Networking Skills
Networking can be daunting, but it's all about perspective. Shift from seeing it as "forced meetings" to discover common ground and learning from others. Remember, "your network is your net worth," and podcasting provides a unique platform to expand your circle of influence.
5. Pitching Skills
Hosting a podcast allows you to pitch various ideas, messages, and skills simultaneously. You can present your agenda directly to listeners, indirectly showcase your expertise, and introduce your services—all in an intimate and engaging way.
