L Libby Spears BIOThe Youngest of three girls, Libby credits her speaking ability to having a captive audience as a child who had to listen to her sing, dance and tell stories. The dancing and singing parts were not so great but her storytelling ability was pretty sophisticated. Her first paying presentation job was on a family trip to California where, at the age of 7, she was given the microphone to help warm up the audience of an in studio taping for a game show. A lightbulb went off that day when she realized: she could get paid to do this!
Her Educational JourneyHigh School Debate & Speech Nerd led to College Debate Advisor and Coach and prepared her for a BA. in Communication Studies from Texas Tech University (Go Raiders!). From there she packed her bags and moved to Denton Texas to pursue an MA in Communication Studies from the University of North Texas
ProfessionallyThe first chapter in her professional career was in the college classroom where she taught a wide variety of communication studies courses and established herself as a seasoned instructor. Her years in the classroom took her to the University of North Texas to the University of Texas at Arlington and finally to TCU (go horned frogs!) in Fort Worth Texas. Over 15 years she developed into a captivating and relevant instructor who is able to connect to any audience and find relevant and meaningful examples to relate to their experiences.
Students would repeatedly tell her they signed up for her courses just to hear her tell stories that their friends, roommates, co-workers had already heard having taken her class. This led her to understand the true power behind public speaking and storytelling. While she didn’t “sell” anything three dimensional like a copier, car, suitcase or gallon of milk--she was selling ideas and the communication studies department as a viable and smart major choice for undergraduates. She knew that stories and presentations were one of the MOST POWERFUL vehicles for reaching people.
A Communication Superhero!The next chapter in Libby’s professional career was moving out of the college classroom and into the corporate classroom as a professional communication consultant. She has seen Office Space enough times to know that the market is flooded with people calling themselves consultants, coaches etc and she made a decision that she would bring value and insight to every project she worked on. She would always resist being formulaic, packaged and cheesy. There are no funny hats, silly games that make people feel uncomfortable or putting people on the spot. Instead a workshop with Libby is about educating you first, helping you identify patterns or behaviors that are holding you back and liberating you from those things and when it is all said and done entertaining you...because if we can’t have fun and love what we do, what is the point?
