The Radiant Zone: Where Speakers Come Alive

Send Lauri a message

Most speakers aim for comfort. But “comfortable” rarely moves an audience.

In this solo episode, Lauri Smith invites you into the Radiant Zone—the place where speakers come alive, audiences lean in, and transformation happens. Along the way, she shares the three zones of speaking, why “fine” is forgettable, and how fear and excitement can be channeled into magnetic presence.

If your dream is to stop surviving speaking moments and start lighting up rooms, this episode shows you how to step into radiance.

Takeaways:

1. There are three speaking Zones – Fear, Comfort, and Radiance - and only one of them creates transformation.
2. Comfort ≠ Connection – Clarity and competence may be fine, but they won’t make you unforgettable.
3. Radiance Requires Sensation – Fear and excitement are neighboring energies; the key is to dance with them.
4. Set Emotional Intentions – Focus on what you want your audience to feel, not just what you want them to know.
5. Radiant Speaking Is a Practice – Align your body, breath, and energy, then invite your audience on the ride with you.
