Influential Introvert: Communication Coaching for Professionals with Performance Anxiety - Summer Refresh

Episode Date: August 21, 2020

Hello, it’s the end of summer in my part of the world, and I’m in the States visiting my parents.   So Podcasting Step by Step will be taking a little vacation.   I’m also taking this time to do a little refresh of the podcast.    New intro and outro. New music. New bonuses for you.   And I’d encourage you to take some time in the next week or two to evaluate your own podcast. What do you love about it? What feels heavy that you want to change? Is there something you can stop doing? Are you happy with the frequency and the length of your episodes?  Do you want to change your call to action on your show, or introduce one if you don’t have one yet? Do you want to add or subtract a segment? Have you asked your audience what they’d like to see included?    Speaking of, are there any episode ideas that you’d like me to cover on this podcast? Something I haven’t covered before, or maybe it’s time to revisit a certain topic.    Find me at sarahmikutel.com and let me know.    OK, I’ve got some brilliant guests coming on in a few weeks who you’re going to love. I can’t wait to share those with you.    But for now, I’m signing off and I will see you in September.  *** Hello. I’m Sarah, your host and founder of Podcast Launch Academy.

Hello, hello, it's the end of summer in my part of the world, and I am visiting my parents in the United States, and then hopefully my friends as well once I get out of quarantine. So podcasting step by step, we'll be taking a little vacation. And I'm also going to take this time to do a little refresh of the podcast, not a rebrand, just a refresh. And for me, this is the perfect time of year to do it. I always, even though I haven't been in. school in forever and ever, I still think about September as the new start of the year. Yeah, we've got January, but when I think of September, it's just got that going back to school feel, at least for me. And that was always a time when you're getting a new outfit and a new haircut. And speaking of, I need to get a new haircut this week as well. I haven't had one in like eight months and there's a serious Rapunzel situation going on here. But I just think this is the perfect time to take a look at, you know, what are some changes

that I want to make? And so I would encourage you as well to take some time in the next week or two to evaluate your podcast. What do you love about it? What feels heavy that you might want to change? Is there something you can stop doing? Are you happy with the frequency and the length of your episodes? Do you want to change your call to action at the end of your show or introduce one if you don't have one yet, and I think you should always have a call to action and give your listeners something to do next in a way to connect with you beyond the podcast. Do you want to add or subtract a segment to your show? Have you asked your audience what they would like to hear more of? And speaking of, is there anything that you would like to hear more of on this podcast? Are there any

episode ideas that you want me to cover anyone specific you want me to interview on the podcast? maybe I covered something before and you would like me to revisit that topic. So I'd love to do that for you. Some other things that I've got coming up. So I'm going to use this time to do new intros, new outros, new music, new bonuses for you. I've got some really fantastic guests coming up and I'm so excited to bring these interviews for you. So I'm very much looking forward to coming back in a few weeks and to just bring you a refreshed podcasting step by step. But for now, I am signing off and I will see you in September.
