P AR TICIPANT LIVE FM came at a time last year where we were in
lockdown and couldn’t do anything we loved - so it literally
was the highlight of my week. I felt like it gave me a purpose and
something to be excited about during the long weeks.
TES TIMONIAL S Being involved has made me really think about the way I

communicate. What questions can I ask to get the most
interesting information from our guests and how can I make sure I
am putting out relevant and entertaining content when I speak.
Getting better at this as we went along, I could really see the magic
that happens when I applied this thought.

It has made me think about how I can further provide content for my
speaking job audiences. How can I provide more of what they need
in different ways. Recording clips, further podcasts, more social
media posts, live content and a YouTube Channel. I have been doing
the same thing for such a long time, I feel like these new skills
(including editing) has made me want to freshen up what I do.

I want to say I very much appreciate the opportunity of working with
the LIVE FM team last year. The people involved are
intelligent, socially aware and just genuinely lovely people.

We are so proud to be a part of the LIVE FM team.

During the Victorian Lockdown in 2019 my Motivational
Speaking Events business collapsed due to Covid19. I have had
several years experience with radio presenting ending in 2018 with
community radio. Never having any formal training, I still had so
much to learn. I had an extremely inquisitive
interest to learn more. Working with Live FM gave me purpose
during the lock down. Something to work towards, quench my
craving to learn and over all give me something to look forward too.

The skills I have learnt have given me great opportunity to take into
other areas of my professional speaking career. It’s given me the
further proficiency of spontaneity and speaking off the cuff. Overall
it’s been an incredible experience that now has given me the tal-
ents and more importantly the confidence to take into new career
ventures. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity. I had no idea I
was capable of so much.
