I'm trying to be different. I just was looking at
Melinda Lee:like, what am I different about, you know, between the are
Melinda Lee:Toastmasters? What is different?
JEDIDIAH McCampbell:Well, no, it is it's very different.
JEDIDIAH McCampbell:Because Toastmasters, it was so focused on the mechanics of
JEDIDIAH McCampbell:speaking. Well.
Melinda Lee:And what do you mean by that?
Unknown:Well, it's like counting the counter the oz
Unknown:provided that kind of level of feedback. And you'd rather try
Unknown:to get into some of that deeper level, presence. But I think
Unknown:some of the focusing on the mechanics of it can can
Unknown:actually, you know, if you focus on the bad, you get more of it.
Unknown:It's like it almost it almost worsens the problem in some
Unknown:regards. Yeah. It makes you more aware of it. And then and then
Unknown:you get all subconscious and, and you start stumbling more.
Unknown:Yeah, versus focusing in on the heart, and the passion and just
Unknown:coming from that and being present in the moment with, with
Unknown:the environment with the people with who you are. And being okay
Unknown:with who you are. accepting who you are. brings so much freedom
Unknown:to the speaking that it just comes naturally.
Unknown:Yeah. Yeah,
Unknown:that's the difference. That's what I think. I love this
Unknown:process with you is accomplishing
Melinda Lee:nothing. It's so funny, because I was debating
Melinda Lee:yesterday, whether I wanted to start using AI, there's an AI
Melinda Lee:tool out there called usually, who were you, I could put my
Melinda Lee:clients in there, and they can start to see their speech, and
Melinda Lee:then usually will count the followers and then the, then
Melinda Lee:that what happens is, then it puts them back into a place of
Melinda Lee:did I not do it? Right? When actually you did like, it's
Melinda Lee:interesting, because when you put a height, yeah, you put a
Melinda Lee:shine a light on it, then it brings it out more. So I've been
Melinda Lee:thinking about? I don't know, it's an interesting tool,
Melinda Lee:because, because but then maybe I use it at a certain time, I
Melinda Lee:think when people are because like you said, when they're
Melinda Lee:super connected to who they are, and their internal dial their
Melinda Lee:internal strength or internal competence, all the eyes on the
Melinda Lee:filler words just naturally go. So I want to bring them into
Melinda Lee:that once they've already connected to it longer deeper
Melinda Lee:for a while, and then they'll be
Unknown:decks like Toastmasters is kind of like your first
Unknown:thing. First
Melinda Lee:thing. Yeah, it
Unknown:should be like the last thing. The last thing. Okay,
Unknown:perfect. Okay, proceed on the mechanics of the last thing.
Unknown:Well, yeah, it's kind of the last thing once you've become in
Unknown:tune with yourself. And can speak from that. Yeah, I think
Unknown:is more powerful. That's what I'm experiencing. And, you know,
Unknown:I wasn't sure what this was gonna be like, but this is
Unknown:definitely better.
Melinda Lee:Oh, yeah. It's like, what is happening? What is
Melinda Lee:what are we do you know, just kept with me? Of course, right?
Melinda Lee:You go into any type of programme, you're not sure
Melinda Lee:what's happening. But you went with your gut, you went with
Melinda Lee:your intuition you trust, you know, we had a connection and
Melinda Lee:our first call, and you're like, hey, let's just try this. And so
Melinda Lee:that's courageousness for you. And I really appreciated that
Melinda Lee:you took that step, right? Because not everybody will trust
Melinda Lee:it. You know, they're, they're guarded, they've got a lot of,
Melinda Lee:you know, difficult. They went in made difficult decisions and
Melinda Lee:tough decisions that didn't go well, they thought it was gonna
Melinda Lee:go well, and it didn't. And so I'm glad that you just took the
Melinda Lee:leap of faith anyways. And so you're now able to experience
Melinda Lee:what it feels like to get connected back to feeling what
Melinda Lee:it feels like the flow to be in the moment and be with the
Melinda Lee:audience speak from your heart. And, and then all of this
Melinda Lee:inspiration started coming out. This is what I was here to do.
Melinda Lee:Yeah, right. So true.
Unknown:And it awakens inspiration that I've had since
Unknown:I was a teenager, speak and inspire audiences to greatness,
Unknown:and I love that. And so.
Melinda Lee:Oh, my gosh, it was so fun to see you. So fun to see
Melinda Lee:you. It was awesome. It was great. It was just yeah, you're
Melinda Lee:in your moment you were in I would feel your words. I can
Melinda Lee:feel your passion. Yeah, when you're speaking and that's what
Melinda Lee:people that's why when you're counting the odds and the other
Melinda Lee:the filler words. You're not feeling you don't feel it.
Melinda Lee:You're just so focused on am I saying the right thing?
Unknown:Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And, and so I think I think there's a
Unknown:place for Toastmasters. I think there's a place for that. Yeah.
Unknown:Are the things like that? You know? But it comes after. After
Unknown:that. depths
Melinda Lee:the depths when you can go deep inward first. Yeah.
Melinda Lee:And connect to that part of us again, that needs to be
Melinda Lee:reawakened
Unknown:again. Yes. Yeah. This is really close to a lot of
Unknown:coaching level work that I've done. Yeah. It's in that realm
Unknown:that I think it's really powerful to coach through into
Unknown:the depth of, of who we are, and knowing who we are becoming
Unknown:comfortable with who we are loving who we are, and accepting
Unknown:that and then from that we can pour into others in such a
Unknown:deeper way. Right. And so that's more valuable. Right? And more
Unknown:impactful than the mechanics of speaking well,
Melinda Lee:right. Right. When we can pour into others. That's
Melinda Lee:when they feel that connection. Yeah, that's when you become a
Melinda Lee:really great filler words.
Unknown:Sure. But yeah, you could still have a great
Unknown:connection with filler words. Totally, totally 100% massive
Unknown:impact with some filler words with some filler words.
Melinda Lee:Totally. 1,000% It's just about who you're being
Melinda Lee:and that connection first. Right so. Oh, my gosh, that makes me
Melinda Lee:so happy. I was really thinking about it a lot. You
