It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged here at BethJones.net so I thought I’d share about what’s new. One of the most exciting things is that I just graduated from Robyn Dystra’s 8-week Christian Speakers Bootcamp. The best part was having access to Robyn live on a weekly Zoom meeting, where she shared the wealth of her years of experience speaking and answered our questions about speaking.
This is my digital certificate from the class, and Robyn is mailing all of us a paper certificate, too. Isn’t it cool?!
Second, Robyn assigned a speech coach to everyone in the training. Mine was Lisa Betz, an award-winning novelist. She was great and helped me to greatly improve and polish my Cinderella signature talk.
My signature talk is about Cinderella’s story & her glass slippers: The right shoes can take you to exciting places!
We also got a practice and prayer partner, to help us practice our “elevator pitch” (what you say when you meet someone new and he or she says, “What do you do?”). Our speech coach worked with us on this, too. Here’s mine:

“I’m Beth Jones, an International Speaker and Author of 30 books. I believe we should dream BIG because we serve a BIG GOD! I help women to step out of fear into faith in Jesus Christ, by sharing my story and the Bible about how much God loves us and the freedom we have in Jesus.”
What do you think?
If you’re an event planner or know someone who is who needs a speaker for their women’s conference, event, or workshop, please contact me here.
If you have never heard me share my story, you can read it in my memoir, Promises in the Dark: One Woman’s Search for Authentic Love, available at Amazon here.
