Close Up Radio Spotlights Tracy Miller of TM Consulting

Yorba Linda, CA – Tracy Miller is the founder of TM Consulting, where she works with executives on developing their presentational skills and interview skills.

“My goal with my clients is to help them tell their story in a way that they feel as authentic to them and memorable,” says Tracy.

A prosecutor for 24 years, Tracy’s first case as a law clerk was O.J. Simpson’s murder trial. She says the experience taught her about persuasive communication: how to communicate in a manner that gets effective results.

Tracy says that too often people communicate from their own perspective instead of the perspective of who they're talking to.

Three things help people feel less nervous: plan, practice, and stop thinking about how you’re going to be judged and start thinking about enjoying the experience.

“Until we connect with ourselves, it's impossible to communicate or connect with others,” says Tracy. “I teach my clients to get into the joy of the process and out of what they think other people are thinking of them.”

“People want to be entertained. They want to like you. They want to be inspired. Walk in and you tell them something that they absolutely did not expect. Once you've got their attention, they'll listen to your message.”

Interviews come with their own unique pressures: Again, Tracy say’s it’s all about preparation.

“Start with a story. Every interview is about the question: “Why you? Everybody has a story of something they've overcome,” says Tracy. “When you're having fun as an interviewee, everyone else likes you, they connect with you.”
