And yes, the title of this blog is a nod to Tina Turner's "What's love got to do with it?" anthem.  What a powerful human; a force of nature. And wow, didn't she put heart and soul into every performance?.

Few would say it was the perfection of her voice that inspired millions.

What I remember most is her attitude. That raspy, textured delivery coupled with her wild and free stage magnetism made Tina Turner a legend.

There will never be another like her.

Can you imagine if all the other vocal performers out there compared themselves to her...or Aretha...or Barbra...and said, "Oh, I'll never be as good as them.  Why even try?"

We wouldn't have Beyonce...or Ariana...or...well, you get it.

Comparison truly is the thief of joy. It gets in your head and keeps you from putting yourself out there. And as individual as a fingerprint, so is YOUR unique perspective; your particular way of seeing a thing and saying it.

As a professional speaker and a coach to speakers, I often talk with to people who say, "Oh, I'm just not good with words." 

No problem!  Words can be practiced.

But what about heart?

If you have the heart for a message, you've got the key to unlock powerful impact.

My favorite quote of all time says it well: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt

So do you care about your message?  Do you care about your audience?  Do you care about making an impact?

If so, you'll care less about your own insecurities and quit the comparisons. You'll forge ahead, led by your heart and your audience will feel it.

We either operate fueled by fear or love.  Love is the foundation for heart-based action. And choosing love, which is one of Vici's Core Values, never fails.

Which brings me to the purpose of my musings on heart.

Yes, I am honored to deliver keynotes and workshops around the country. But for the first time in my career, I'm using my own platform to host an online message - because my heart urged me to.

When you learn something valuable and you feel passionately about it and you are CONVINCED that it will make peoples' lives better, it's an irresistible must.  My "must" is the message, "Settle Your Worth to Launch a Better Life."

From years of disappointments borne from looking to others to validate me; from all of the toxic and "less than" relationships I aligned with because I didn't know my own value; each painful experience found its purpose in the message that emerged.

A message I was born to deliver.

If you like practical, actionable information, the webinar will walk you through the seven keys to settling your own self worth.  If you've struggled with imposter syndrome or felt defeated by your internal critic? This one-hour can improve your life. 

Please join me on July 20th - click either Noon EST (9 AM PST) or 8 PM EST (5 PM PST) to register.

I promise. Your heart will be encouraged.
