Kicking off this season looking through the lens of NFL sports broadcaster for the Chargers, Hayley Elwood. Previous host of the NFL Draft & Super Bowl, Hayley is here to share her story with us on what life has looked like for her on and off camera over the years. From starting her younger years in the world of competitive dance to getting the praise she does for her work on the field interviewing now, Hayley has an abundance of information to share when it comes to public speaking, relationships, personalities, her day to day on and off the field, & all about the female broadcasters who paved the way for her and many other women today.

Topics Include:
-Dance and how she applied what she learned in her younger years and applied it to her career today.
-Relationships and opportunities, and how the 2 work together to bring you an abundance of each.
-Changes within teams and staff and how it affects her in her role.
-How to spice up her interview questions when she interviews some individuals multiple times.
-How the women before her helped shape the trajectory of her career.
-Making each interview feel unique and special to the person she is talking to.
-The differences between speaking on and off camera, and what kind of "vert" (intro or extro) she believes she is.
-And why being nervous doesn't make you a bad public speaker, maybe even the opposite.
