Becoming a Paid Speaker: Importance of Details in Your Presentation
Today you’re going to get a behind the scenes look at me working with my speaking coach, Paul Kreiter. If you want to know how to become a public speaker, this series is for you!
In fact, in this video, Paul shares the importance of focusing on the details when creating content for my mental health presentations.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
With the new presentation tips that I’ve learned from Paul, I want to start rewriting my speech. However, in the midst of moving things around and repurposing my content, Paul stresses the importance of focusing on the details in order to be more effective.
You’ll get to hear the “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” analogy that Paul uses to school me on what happens if you don’t include the small, important details. As you’ll hear, intentional details completely transform a story.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you can improve the opening on your presentations in 2020.

The Birth of Transforming Stigma™ – 2014 C-E-O Conference Keynote

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com In this video, Mike Veny details the birth of Transforming Stigma™. This short speech was recorded as part of a panel on overcoming challenges at the 2014 National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (C-E-O) Conference at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
First, Mike shares about filing bankruptcy in 2005 and building a career as a drummer after that. Then in 2011, Mike had a mental health breakdown. After reaching out to a friend from the New York State Department of Mental Health for help, she responded with an invitation for him to speak at her conference.
After that first speech, Mike was traveling around the country within a few months, opening up mental health conferences as a keynote speaker. Transforming Stigma™ was born. In the spirit of overcoming challenges, Mike reminds us that sometimes our biggest challenges are our greatest opportunities. Sometimes that thing that you are struggling with can inspire the perfect business idea. The key is being aware and open to it.
Entrepreneurship was always in Mike’s blood, but he never would have thought he’d be marketing the toughest thing of all – his own issues. Although, he never dreamed of being a mental health speaker (who does?), Mike is honored to do this work to help others who are like him. Mike knows what it’s like to feel a lost sense of hope. Mike knows what it’s like to feel pain. Mike knows what it’s like to be scared. This is why he does this work in mental health.
Your greatest challenges can be your greatest opportunities.

Societal Consciousness Around Black Mental Health with Vikie Shanks & Mike Veny – 2020 (Actionable)

Today we’re talking about how societal consciousness impacts mental health in the black community.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you how this has impacted my own life as a black man with mental health challenges.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks, a white woman, and I, a black man, sit down to discuss a topic that often gets swept under the rug—the role societal consciousness plays in mental health within the black community. It’s an “uncomfortable” conversation that we were both very comfortable discussing.
As a black man who lives with mental health challenges, it’s been difficult. There is a stigma in society about the “strong black man”, yet there is no real definition of what that means. Can I be a strong black man if I have mental health challenges? Absolutely!
I’ve been working to redefine what this definition looks like. In order to do this, I’ve identified a few things that we need to work on changing in the black culture such as using the common mental health terminology and improving access to healthcare. To improve black mental health, these areas need to be addressed along with others.
To improve black mental illness we need to be willing to have these types of uncomfortable conversations. In this video, Vikie and I share some ways to make this possible. If we want to break down the barriers between races we need to stop walking on eggshells and starting talking to each other.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that we can improve mental health in the black community in 2019.

Remote Workplace Strategies for Mental Health in 2021
Even with many people returning to work, working from home and remote work is here to stay for many people. But as we move to this becoming part of normal life instead of life during a pandemic, it’s important that we learn how to protect our mental health and emotional wellness while working from home.
The strategies that we need to use are a little different than the traditional workplace strategies for mental health. In this video I share three things that can help you remain mentally stable and emotionally well if you work remotely:
Setting boundaries with family members and coworkers – This includes learning how to put lines into relationships to know where your “yes” and “no” are. It’s something many of us were never taught how to do.
Finding creative ways to create space for yourself – You may need to “sneak out” for a few minutes to practice self-care from time to time.
Developing rituals to use at the end of the workday – These can help you signal to your brain that the workday is over while you transition to your personal time and space. I share how I do this from my NYC apartment.
So whether you say you’re “working from home” or “living at work”, these tips can help you find peace and protect your mental health in the process.
