Hello and welcome to These Three Things.

The podcast that asks which person, place and treasured possession have made a profound impact upon your life and why.

I'm your host, Deborah Thomas and for over 20 years, I have been working as a speaking coach, helping people feel more seen, more heard and better remembered.

Public speaking becomes so much easier to accomplish when we are deeply connected to our subject matter. When we talk about the things that we love, our voice and our body come alive, without pretense & without efforts.

What these conversations have shown me is that a story from a stranger can shape and change our own lives within minutes, that we are more alike than we are different. And that's who and what we hold most dear, reveals to the world who we truly are.
