    Big Vision with Sherry Quam Taylor
    Jul 4 2025
    Welcome to the show! Today I've got one of my favorite people on earth with me! My former student Sherry Quam Taylor is here and we are talking all things communication, vision and voice! Sherry Quam Taylor Website: www.QuamTaylor.com Headshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AcElBmPx43g4C-bpR63LIsEXrXYFZ3f5/view?usp=sharing Logo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Xgxe1OJKUq1VatxHBuK4ptIAqO1AucS/view?usp=sharing Main Social Media Outlet: LinkedIn Sherry Quam Taylor works with business-minded Nonprofit CEOs whose Strategic Plans require expansive budgets and larger amounts of unrestricted revenue for growth and infrastructure. As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients become sustainable, diversify revenue, and know how to add significant amounts gen-ops revenue to their budgets. But mostly, their development departments and boards transform into high-ROI revenue generators – aligning their hours with relational dollars and are set free from time-consuming transactional activities like events, appeals, and campaigns. Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two college-aged daughters. General Overview Conversation Summary: This is a conversation between Tracy Goodwin, a voice and communication expert, and Sherry Quam Taylor, a nonprofit fundraising consultant. They discuss Sherry's background and journey into the nonprofit sector, the mindset and skills required for successful fundraising, the importance of confidence and self-worth, and strategies for effective communication and sales. Interviewee Background: Sherry Quam Taylor is a nonprofit fundraising consultant who has helped organizations scale their revenue and impact. She previously worked in the corporate world before transitioning to the nonprofit sector, where she found her passion for helping organizations achieve their goals through strategic fundraising and communication. Key Points Sherry emphasizes the importance of mindset and overcoming the "invisible scripts" that nonprofits often have about fundraising, such as the belief that they should not ask for large donations or invest in their own professional development.She discusses the need to own one's value and expertise, and to confidently present financial needs and growth plans to donors, rather than being apologetic or hesitant.Sherry and Tracy highlight the importance of building a strong pipeline of potential donors and clients, and the ability to pivot and move on when a prospect is not a good fit.They emphasize the value of investing in one's own professional development and coaching, as it can significantly impact the growth and success of a business or organization.Sherry and Tracy discuss the importance of effective communication, both in terms of email outreach and in-person interactions, and the need to avoid common pitfalls like small talk and unnecessary pleasantries. Notable Quotes "We are telling ourselves these scripts of we must do galas and we must do golf outings, appeals and events, and all these things that are not relational sales. And so we are doing the wrong things and then our minds are telling us, just be thankful for what you have." (Speaker 1, 00:01) "I think it's all of that. And it is tying back to being confident enough to say, well, I work differently than others. I'm asked all the time, what is your hourly rate? I'll send you the RFP, which I don't do. I don't have an hourly rate. I don't. I've never had that. What deliverables do you have? No, I'm advising you. I am your partner." (Speaker 1, 29:01) Kicker Quotes "My biggest advice is if I would've invested in myself how I do now, the first year, the second year, even though that would've been even scarier to push the button, who knows what it would be? Because it is critical. It's not optional." (Speaker 1, 27:49) "I think then people trust me, she must know what she's doing because of that ownership. I own it because it's like I'm not hedging here. No, this is what it is. And you're standing on the rock of the value of the work that you deliver." (Speaker 3, 24:34)

  • Bad Advice Part One

    Bad Advice Part One
    Jun 10 2025
    Welcome to the show! General Overview Conversation Summary: The speaker discusses common pieces of advice that are often given but are actually ineffective or counterproductive. She provides research-backed insights on why these tips should be avoided, and suggests more effective alternatives. Key Points Don't talk to your "ideal client" when doing video or sales calls, as this can bring up fears and insecurities that negatively impact your voice and connection.Don't come out of the gate "ramped up" and overly excited, unless that is truly your natural speaking style. Instead, open in a way that is authentic to who you are.Don't speak quickly in an attempt to keep people's attention or prevent them from disengaging. Fast speech is actually one of the weakest elements of vocal variety and can cause people to tune out. Notable Quotes "Don't talk to your ideal client. Now, let's talk about another big one that makes me crazy..." (11:13) "Stop coming out of the gate. You have to get everybody hyped up. You have to get everybody ramped up in order for them to want to stay and listen to you. It's just not true..." (16:00) "The fastest way to get people to disengage is fast. Why? We don't know what. And so you're the expert or you're talking about something and you firing it off and I'm like, 'She lost me.'" (21:31) Kicker Quotes "Stop doing what everybody's doing. Stop doing what they're telling you to do. Point blank, research it. Ask me, find an expert that really can bring in the nuance because now more than ever, I have to hear you. I have to connect with you. I have to know who you are, and going fast and ramping up and talking to people that you're trying to get things right over is not going to get me to the real you." (23:23) Detailed Insights Main Arguments: Talking to your "ideal client" can bring up fears and insecurities that negatively impact your voice and connection (07:14 - 11:13). Coming out of the gate "ramped up" and overly excited is inauthentic unless that is your natural speaking style (11:17 - 16:00). Speaking quickly in an attempt to keep people's attention is actually one of the weakest elements of vocal variety and can cause people to tune out (20:23 - 22:56). Supporting Evidence: The speaker cites her own research and experience working with clients to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of these common pieces of advice (10:59, 20:23). She provides examples of how these tactics have negatively impacted her clients' results and connection with their audience (14:00, 21:31). Themes and Trends Recurring Themes: The importance of authenticity and speaking in a way that is true to oneself (07:14, 11:17, 23:23). The need to move beyond common, broad-stroke advice and instead seek out expert, nuanced guidance (07:10, 23:23). Emerging Trends: The speaker's emphasis on the subconscious impact of vocal choices and the psychology behind ineffective speaking habits (20:34, 22:48). Her recommendation of a "voice audit" to help identify and address problematic vocal patterns (24:00). Interview Dynamics Interview Flow: The speaker starts by establishing the context and her expertise, then methodically addresses three specific pieces of bad advice (01:16 - 11:13). She then transitions to discussing a fourth piece of advice, providing more in-depth analysis and examples (11:17 - 22:56). The conversation concludes with a summary of the key points and a call-to-action for the voice audit (23:23 - 25:13).

She also mentions an upcoming opportunity for listeners to participate in a "voice audit" (24:00).
