“There is a privilege of standing at the podium. It’s not about us. It’s not even about our message. It’s about the audience.” ~Dr. Maggie Augustyn
Everyday Practices podcast co-hosts Regan Robertson and Dr. Chad Johnson are joined by influential speaker and author Dr. Maggie Augustyn of Happy Tooth (Elmhurst, Illinois) and in this episode, Dr. Maggie shares her transformative experience at the WEvolution Annual Conference – a unique gathering dedicated to enhancing the art of public speaking and storytelling within the dental community.
Dr. Maggie explains the essence of WEvolution and this year’s theme, “Empowered Voices, Inspired Change,” and she recounts the conference’s emphasis on the privilege and responsibility of standing at the podium, not for personal accolades, but to genuinely connect and empower the audience. You will be inspired by Dr. Maggie’s reflections on the shifting dynamics of audience demographics and the evolving expectations of younger generations. Then you’ll discover how she plans to incorporate these insights into her own speaking engagements (including her appearance at the Productive Dentist Academy Conference, September 12-14, in Frisco, Texas).
Discover how storytelling and audience engagement are altering the way speakers interact with their audiences to best convey their messages, and while you listen to this episode, we want you to think about the following questions:
- How do I define success in my own professional journey, and what steps can I take to achieve a more fulfilling and impactful career?
- What can I do to align my professional goals with a deeper sense of purpose?
- How can I build or strengthen my professional community in order to support my journey and the journey of others?
