Podcast #8 Gaining Visibility Through Storytelling

In this episode, you get to hear me talk with my guest Darieth Chisolm.

Darieth is an Emmy award-winning television news anchor and host, award-winning filmmaker, and author. She has also presented on TEDx stages. She is now an empowerment and visibility coach for women who really want to maximize the power of storytelling and public speaking.  

Darieth’s disruption in life is something that she can now look back on and realized it disrupted her life to cause her to serve her purpose and create change in her industry.

We talk about needing to find your true calling in life and that starts with finding your why. You will never accomplish anything big if you are just going for it for the dollars. Darieth’s why happened to be her son, while he was going into senior year of high school. She wanted to be there for him.

So she made the decision to quit her TV anchor career and be there for her son. 

Darieth hired a coach to help grow her network marketing as well as her ariel fitness studio. Working with coaches and getting great results created a love for coaching. Which made her start thinking that she could be a coach. Darieth ended up getting her certification in coaching, to help women with visibility and empowerment.

Most women struggle with being visible and getting exposure to those things they are most passionate about. She helps women talk about what they want to do and the impact and influence they want to make in this world but feel stuck. 

So, the first step is making them confident in themselves. And then you start working  on ways to gain visibility. Whether that’s through speaking events, even virtual, YouTube channels, or podcasts. And then really focus on public speaking.

Even now with everyone turning to virtual there are so many opportunities to gain visibility.

Whether it’s through online virtual events, summits, your own platform, such as Facebook Lives, there are so many ways!  And remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect before your content goes out! The only thing you need to get started is a camera!

And, always remember to be raw and authentic, no matter how you tell your story, and you will be remembered. Gone are the das that you need to be perfect. You just need to be you. 

And lastly, we discuss what it takes to be a paid speaker. It most importantly starts with knowing your worth. You also want to figure out how you transform people. Know how to give information that transforms. 

Get your pen and paper out for this one! You’re going to want to take notes!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to brand disruptors. I am Mia Lamont, your host, and I love to welcome my beautiful friends. Ms. Daria Chisholm. Derek, will you just say hello to our guests and tell them a little bit about yourself? Well, hello, miss meta and hello, everyone else. All of you folks that are interested in becoming brand disruptors. Yeah, a little bit more about me. Let's see. Let me see if I can do the really short bio. Yeah. And that's no bragging. It just has been, I've been around the moon a few times, so that's what makes it so long, but I am an Emmy award winning television news, anchor and TV host. I've presented on a couple of different TEDx stages. I'm also an award winning filmmaker author, and I am a empowerment and visibility coach for women who really want to maximize the power of storytelling and public speaking.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So I'm focused primarily on the art and the business of public speaking and storytelling. And yes guys, she is an Emmy award winner. I saw the MES, I touch them. They're beautiful. And she really is all that and a bag of chips. So thank you for being here today and gracing us with your presence. And so, you know, we can kind of talk about what you've been up to and, you know, let the guests know what you have to offer in this world today. How's that? Yeah, absolutely. I'm glad to be here. Thanks for inviting me. Absolutely. All right. So I'll kind of start off with a couple of questions so people can get to know you, right. And the first question is, what is your mantra or what is one of your mantras? Oh, I have several of them, but probably the one I use the most is anything is possible. Anything is possible. And I live by that. I think whenever I dream up any project or goal or desire I start from this premise that it is in fact possible. In fact, if there is no reason that it shouldn't be, so I really love that anything is possible. Oh, love that. Love that. Alright. What would you say are three words that best describe you or your brand leadership, lifestyle and legacy. Look at you, being all fancy with your L words.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Love it, love it, love it. What is your least favorite mode of communication?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Texting?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
[Inaudible] never around. Like, I was like, I don't know where my glasses are, half the time. And then things get misinterpreted and I am such a communicator. I would rather talk than type or text. And so it is my least favorite. Yeah. Yeah, same, same. Alright. What outfit makes you feel like a badass, a black dress. You know, that

Speaker 3 (03:03):
A black dress with my shoulders out, you know, I can feel powerful in it. I love, I love black dress, little cute black dresses. I love it. Love it, love it. Alright. And then tell me about your brand colors. Like what are your brand colors and why did you choose them? Well, now they happen to be black, white, and like Tiffany blue. Utilize that for about the last year and a half for my various programs, my website you know, any of the collateral that we put out there. And why did I choose it? You know, I've, I just think I love the classic elegant, luxurious look and feel of Tiffany blue, right. It just, in my opinion, in Bella fishes, that thought of classic and elegant and upscale. So that's really nice black. It's just like, this is really probably my favorite color.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
It's easy to go to. It's powerful. You know, and then why does just more of the, kind of the clean look, right? That just gives you the base to work from? Interestingly enough, my colors before that were primarily just red and white. And so you could see the evolution when I first wrote my book hustle, why now is the time to unleash your passion? It was red and white. The video podcast show was red and white. My website was red and white, but this shift over really, I think came when I wanted to continue to develop a brand that was truly about bringing women who have lived a life this desire to really create legacy right, and be leaders. And so I thought that those three colors were a good choice for that. Love it, love it. And I like the fact that you presence for the audience that, you know, even though you had this brand that you had established before, it was okay for you to say, you know what, I'm going to switch things up a little bit because I want to attract, and I feel like a different kind of person now than I was before.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Right. Is that sorta like where your head was at when you did that? You know, I don't know. As I think about it now, I would say yes, I'm not so sure that I interpreted it, being that at the time I knew that I wanted to change and I was looking for colors that really vibed with, with where I was going. But I don't know that I, I, I saw it as the way you put it, but now looking back, I would agree with you. Yeah. Yeah. And I think a lot of us don't know that we're doing it when we're doing it, but because it's so inherent, it just comes to us naturally. And you just, you just did that. So I'm glad that you kind of present that for the audience. You know, what's interesting too, is that I didn't necessarily look around and I think we all do this, right? Ooh, I like that. Ooh, this looks good. I'm so we're looking at other people's brands and then we're trying to figure out, can I take on this persona? Would this be something that I'd like to project and would actually lend itself to the work that I do? And so I did look around, but when I settled, it truly was about what felt good for me. Even with the choice of the fonts that now that I look back, I actually wish I would have changed one of them, but you live with it, you know?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
And, and it is part of the brand. Like, I don't think enough people think about, you know, you shouldn't be looking at your fonts, you shouldn't be looking at the tight face and all that stuff needs to be continuous and all throughout everything that you do. So if you're going to do PowerPoints, if you're going to do an out, like you should be using the same fonts and typefaces throughout, right. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So now that we know a little bit about you just a little bit, why don't you tell us about a story and I know you have plenty, but tell us about one story that really sticks out for you. Then that was a total disruption to your life. Right? I know you got to use the story that I've mostly been known for. So how about that? Let me think beyond that, I'll be finished with the question somewhere where there was a disruption in your life, but now you're like, Oh my God, I know that this was for me to be able to serve my purpose or for me to create change in my industry. Like which, which one of your stories do you want to tell us? Cause I know you got planning. Wow. And like which industry and industry, how man, you know, geez. So let's see here. Cause I have had multiple iterations of my life. It was three stories. It's all good. You're a storyteller. So,

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Alright. So maybe I'll go back to one that for me, launched me into this expert space. Right? So my, I got, I spent 20, some years in television news. I anchored the news for the NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh and I loved what I did. And you know, I think I could still do that today. It's sit and read a teleprompter, but it really wasn't what was calling me. And I've always been an entrepreneur at heart. I mean, even since I was eight years old, when I had an orange juice, Stan, wasn't a lemonade stand. It was Bambam's orange juice stand. So there's, it's always course through my veins. I've sold encyclopedias, I've through newspapers, you know, we were broke. So I had to come up with ways to make money with my mama in order for us to survive as a young person.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
So that drive to be an entrepreneur and be in service of people in some capacity has always been with me, but what I did for a living and could do like riding a bike, was anchoring the news and reading the news and just reading a teleprompter, Colt, whatever like that. I loved it. It's great, but it didn't like me up. And so part of the decision for me to move into doing my own business was driven by not it w so I always had these small businesses and they would halfway get off the ground and then not get off the ground. I'd make a little bit of money. And I did, but what shifted for me was when I had a really significant why. And I say this now all of my clients as well is that you will never accomplish something really big if you're just going for it for the dollars or for, to say that you've done it.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Like when the, why is so significant, there's enough that will drive you. So for me, this, this time came when I quit my job, anchoring the news for the second time, for the second time for my son. Cause I did it when he was five years old. And that I, I worked from home and did a business w went back and then started working again. And then when my son was about 16 years old, I was involved in a network marketing company. And I also had an aerial fitness studio and I was anchoring the news. So I had a lot of stuff going on. And the only thing that was not, that didn't feel right in my life was that I wasn't spending any time with him. I was missing all of his football games. He is the most important person in my life.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
And yet I felt like I wasn't seeing him. And so I made a really significant decision, which was, I could have let the fitness studio go, but I couldn't do that. Cause I had 16 employees and payments and a hundred people coming to the fitness studio. And I was just beginning this network marketing company and I could see the potential, but I didn't have the time to put into it or I could walk away from my six figure television news career. And so I opted to do that. And I remember the day that I did that, I had just come back from a conference at this network marketing company. And if you've ever done network marketing, like you get all riled up and excited when you come back,

Speaker 4 (10:46):
I make a million dollars in two weeks. Right? So, so I leave this conference and, and

Speaker 3 (10:53):
He he's there to pick me up from the airport and I get in the car and I look over at him and I'd made the decision on the plane. And, you know, I said to him, I said, Trey, I got something to tell you. And he's like, you know what, mom? And I said I am going to quit my job at channel 11 news. And he said, well, why would you do that? And I said, well, because you're going to be going into your senior year soon. And I want to be in the stand watching you play. I haven't been, and that has just ripped my heart apart. And after that, you'll be going away to college. So I'm willing to make that sacrifice for you. And he looked back at me and he said, mom, would you do that for me? And I'm like, yeah, that's how I felt then. And I was like, of course I will. Now at the time, I didn't know how

Speaker 4 (11:46):
You knew the what. And he was the why. I just didn't know the, how that matter though,

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Because here's the point to all of that story, which was that you have to have a really significant why I made my son a promise. And that was, that was in January. And I said to him, by September, I will have worked it out, but I will quit that job. So that I'd have, cause I was working, I was anchoring the news at five, six, 10 and 11, mostly 10 and 11, which meant that I wasn't there for him in the evenings. So I will by September the, out the door and available to be with you in your senior year to spend as much time with you. And what I did was work my ass off in that network marketing company to build that because I knew I needed the money. So I wanted the financial money to come in so that I could afford to leave the six figure job in television.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
And literally I went from making only a couple of hundred dollars a month in that company to, by may of that year becoming the 57th highest paid distributor out of 70,000 distributors. Whoa, Whoa. Talk about a big why right. About a big why. And it wasn't. So it just, I knew that I had till September and I beat my goal. And so by June I walked in and I told the station for the second time I'm quitting and I'm not coming back this time. And I stuck around until they found a replacement, but sure enough, by June I was in the stand for every one of his games. And that literally launched me out of television. Shortly after that I had hired a coach by the way. So I had hired a coach to help me grow that network marketing company fell in love with coaching.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
And then I had already had hired a coach to help me with the aerial fitness studio. So that was what was getting me familiar with coaching. But from there I said, Hey, I can do this coaching thing. I really like it. I'm getting really great results. Let me go see if I can do this for other people. And because I had been coaching the network, the team, we were excelling like crazy, right? So that's what propelled me into this industry. And then I decided to become a certified coach. So that was a long story, but there you go. That's the one that I don't tell often. So see, I didn't do my other story. So yeah, I think it's important for people to, to see how, you know, sometimes when we go through our life, our life's path, like the answers are right there in front of us.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Right. You were working with these coaches, you were already doing the coaching. Like, you know what? I can do this actually. I'm pretty damn good at this. So tell us, tell us a little bit about what you coach now. Like how do you help women with visibility? How do you help them with the empowerment? Yeah. Well, and actually those two go hand in hand, right? Because most women struggle with this idea of wanting to be visible and to create exposure for those things that they're most passionate about, whether it is the work that they're doing, the coaching they're doing their, their purpose, their story, like there's this level of, and we all face it. And I do cause it's this whole album level thing. Like I want to be visible. I want to have exposure. I want people to know about what I'm doing and the impact and the influence that I want to make in this world, but I'm stuck and I'm challenged with that.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
So a lot of the coaching that I do is around that to really get women to this place of not playing small and standing in their power and using their voice and getting to a very confident place first in themselves before we even turn the camera on. So first it's about that. And then we look for those vehicles that have most exposure and you know, obviously we know camera and video and TV is probably the prime, but what I know I can't do is teach people how to have a 30 year career in television. It's not duplicatable, but what is duplicatable is getting on stage, right? And getting out whether you're on virtual platforms like this, or being featured on other people's podcasts or on what I call opp other people's platforms. So when I work with my clients, that's what we're looking to do is how can you kick up your visibility and exposure?

Speaker 3 (16:01):
So you can showcase what it is that you're doing in the world. And that could look like speaking events that of course are now virtual, but back when we can get back on stage and really putting together a powerful presentation on stage, positioning yourself to be on other people's platforms, you know, their podcasts, their blogs, blogs, and YouTube channels. So that more people find out about the work that you do. And then I work with a lot of my clients to really build the platform, right. So what does the platform look like? You know, in terms of their internal workings with you know, their system structure and support and the deliverables, if they have a product or service that's tied to that story.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
So it's pretty complete, right? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
And mine really focuses in on storytelling, which is why I focus in on the art of storytelling and then the business of public speaking and storytelling, which is, which encompasses all of those things that I just mentioned.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
So you talked a little bit about virtual stages, like tell me, because I know there's some people out there who believe that they can not be doing speaking engagements right now. Talk to us a little bit about how you overcame that, that total myth, right. That you can't be speaking on stages right now and that you can be making money

Speaker 3 (17:19):
As a speaker. Yeah. You know, of course the physical stages are tough to get to. I mean, I like so many of my other clients I've had multiple engagements canceled or rescheduled. So we know that's the case, but there's so much pivoting going on right now where people can look at what can I do online? And so here are a few things that people can do. This is a perfect example, right? We are, I'm on your podcast talking about, you know, the various that we're having, people are listening, it's a podcast, it's also a YouTube video. The value of it is it's evergreen. It will be out there for as long as you make it available. And that's a beautiful way for me to share my message, my story, and be in conversation. So if you looked at how many opportunities you have to do that, literally get media for your message.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
It is, there are so many opportunities and they start with platforms like this, right? The friends, the family, the business colleagues that you know, who are looking for content and interviews, getting on those platforms is so important. Now there is a strategy to doing it, which is what we teach. And there's a way to do it. And a way that we, that I believe is important for you to do, especially if you're going to ultimately promote a product or service, which is what most people want to do, but that's one end of it. Then there are virtual events, right? There are lots of people that are hosting online summits and virtual events. And they're looking for experts to feature that speaking. You're still speaking. You're still, you know, it's all being in front of a camera, but not necessarily in front of a crowd. So those, and then the best thing is you can create your own platforms.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
That is probably the most important thing that you can do. And you can create your own online workshops, your own virtual events, your own speaking opportunities, you know, your own. You could be doing it, just picking up your cell phone and doing a Facebook live, but you could also do it in a more structured way where people are actually paying to attend or opting into attend, consuming your valuable content. And then you are moving them along, whatever funnel or path that you have in place. So there are just so many different ways to do it. And you know, we've just all gotten used to it. The, the, the barrier to entry is down. The level of professional expectation is down. And that makes the level, the playing field more level for everyone to be involved. Yeah. And I love that you said that I think that a lot of people think that they have to get it so perfect before they even put it out there.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
They think that they have to go and hire all of these experts to get them ready. And then they come up with excuses. Like, I don't have enough money to do this, or I don't have this. I don't have that. Like, what do they actually need to get started? Okay. We all have one of those. Right. We have a cell phone. Like most people have cell phones and they can get started with that. Right. I mean, really it, it does not. I mean, we, yeah, if you want to get some, we'll talk the technical stuff and then we'll talk more of the content. But technically, as I said, the barriers are down. You have a laptop or a cell phone. And even if you don't have a light get in front of natural light, right. If you don't have a tripod, put the stuff on books, if you don't have a microphone, there are microphones, but you can also invest in microphone.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
So technically, you know, or you can create backdrops, whatever you want to do. I mean, it doesn't take to do it from that standpoint. The other thing you have to do is to also look at, so what am I bringing to the table? What is my story? What is the content? What is it that I want to share with the world and how are they going to feel? What do you want them to know about themselves and about you and what is the call to action? And if you can answer those three things, that's important about what, in terms of staging this, if you're still stuck on how you tell your story and what it is that you say, this other, these other four things I would recommend is something that you would work on, whether you want to get on a stage or whether you do you know, you're a speaking event virtually, and that is that you really do need to find more ways to be real, raw, authentic.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
And how do you make it memorable? So if you can do that in the way that you deliver a story, right? Or in the way that you talk, it's easy. And I'm going to tell you, if all you now is raw and authentic, you will be remembered. Absolutely. We've been seeing that happen a lot lately, right? People just sharing themselves, they're being authentic, they're being real. And they're not really caring about what it looks like, right. They're just expressing themselves and they're getting massive, massive success. And that is what people want to know. They want to know, you know? Yeah. You're not perfect. You make mistakes, whatever the case may be. And I think that it it's, you know, and it's interesting because I came from a world of perfection, like w when you have to go through makeup and hair and clothing and all of your content, that's been written and it's all on a teleprompter and they're 40 people standing behind it and their lights.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
And, you know, this was 30 years ago when I first started. And then it gradually started fading. And then all of a sudden we were running our own teleprompter and there were no hair and makeup. It just so that the television industry changed. But when social media hit the scene and people just started using their cell phones and saying whatever they wanted and not even caring about what was going on. Oh, it, everything changed at that point. So gone are the days that you really need to be perfect doing this. You just need to be you. Thank you for saying that you just need to be your people and that's, and that's exactly the message like, right. So yes, there's a way to be you and still be up leveled. Right. But the, the, the, the fact that the matter is, is that it's gotta be, and it can't be somebody else, and it can't be somebody else's version of you.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
So I'm glad, so glad that you said that to them. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. So tell us, you did give us some tips already. So I think that, what, what would you say is the main thing that people need to do if they want to become paid a paid speaker, know your worth, know your worth, know that, that you deserve to be paid, that you are worthy and that you have something to offer, and that offering should have some dollar signs attached to it and get over this disbelief or misbelief that you can't be paid for it, or you can't be paid for your knowledge or your information or your story. And, you know, I will say that if you look back in time, really that's all we've ever paid for is somebody's story or some version of a story. Right.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
We buy based on that, the reason that we do something is because we heard somebody's story. Right. And so this idea that they're, you can't attach a dollar sign to, it is a complete farce. And I, and again, it comes from, from not knowing that and, or trusting, or feeling having this sense of worthiness, right. Then the other things becomes, okay, I got that dairy, but how do I quantify what that is? How do I, how do I put a real number on that? And particularly in the speaking industry, because there are no, you know, like, you know, how much a bottle of water costs, you can put a price tag on it, right? It's pretty clear that the market bears a dollar for a bottle of water. So that's pretty much what, you know, you can market for yourself with speaking. It's different because I know speakers that get zero, and I know speakers that get $50,000 per speaking gig.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
And so there's a big difference in that gap, right? Well, part of it is, yes, I'm sure the ones that are getting paid $50,000 have been doing this for some time. So time is on your side, right? The more you start, the sooner you get started, time is on your side. We know that, and eventually you will get to get, get paid, but it also means that you don't have to take on two years worth of free speaking gigs, thinking that you need more time. And that sometimes is where people come to the table with me on the other thing is again, trying to qualify it. And I tell people, take an inventory of everything that you've ever done every letter before and behind your name, every investment that you've ever made. And most importantly, every experience that you've ever had and write those things down and literally take a list of it so that you can just see just how worthy you are, just how much, how much value you do offer to the marketplace.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Cause sometimes we're discounting it and we're comparing ourselves to others. And so we think maybe they won't pay me for that. So that's really important. And then the other thing is like, so what is the value that you bring in what it is that you do have to say when you're speaking? Because it isn't just about your story. So the story can be powerful, but what do you, what's the takeaway? What are the ahas? What are the teaching points? How are people supposed to feel? And most importantly, how do you transform them? Because that is what people who make a lot of money get paid for. And I'm gonna start with a list, Tony Robbins, Lisa Nichols, like think all of those powerhouse speakers that, you know, and mostly what you're hearing is hearing them speak and you're getting the information, but the information is transforming you in some way. That's what you're paying them for. So that's what you want to look to do as you're developing yourself as well.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Speaker woo. You said a mouth full, you said about a full, so I'm hoping that all of you out there have been taking notes because this is exactly what you need to know in order to transform the audience. When you are speaking with them, your story is compelling, right. But if people, you know, we can tell stories all day long, we can go read books and listen to stories. But if people aren't feeling or experiencing something, they typically don't come back and they typically don't buy from you. Right?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Exactly. Yeah. And it is in that and you don't have to stretch the truth to make it feel good, because I think a lot of people do that. They discount that people say this all the time, dairy, I have 99 stories, which one do I tell? Or they say, I think I have one, but I don't think it's good enough. Like, I rarely hear anything in between. It's either 99 or one, and I'm not so sure what to do with it. And I, you know, my number one piece of advice around this, particularly if you're watching and your goal is to speak, but it's to speak, to sell a product, a service, an offer, something that you have, start with your story, let the story be real raw and authentic. Let there be, you've got to showcase that there was some problem or challenge or something that you experienced and your product or service was the solution.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yes. Because that's where people are going to get it. That's when they will say, Oh, I got that same problem. And if she could do it, I could, and she's got a way to show me how to do it. So that's when people identify, they self identify in your story. So you have to make sure you do that. And the ways that you do it without sounding salesy or sleazy or any of that, you just drop it in throughout the course of the conversation. But then you also have to set yourself up to make a tangible offer and be able to deliver on that offer. And if it's not the day of it has to be in the weeks and the months and even the years sometimes to follow because sometimes not everybody's ready at that moment, but they might be ready later. So you really want to keep them in your funnel and keep them warm until they're ready to buy from you.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Absolutely. Everybody is not going to be ready the day that you present your ideas and you might not be ready for them on that day too. So take it as a blessing and wait for them to show up the next time. Right? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So Derek, I want to thank you so much for coming today.

And for all of you all who are listening I just want to share this with you going back to the question that Mia asked me about what is my mantra, and I said that anything is possible. I truly believe that. And so you you've invested this time with me listening. You've been listening to our podcast and learning more about her. She really knows her stuff. And so if you are in this space of trusting that anything is possible there, it takes action, right? So anything is possible, but there's action. So continue listening, continue staying in contact with Mia and utilizing the support that she has. And I look forward to being in contact with you at some point in the future as well.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Oh, thank you. Love. Thank you so much. Thank you all for being here and we'll see you in the next podcast.
