These Three Things is the podcast that asks which person, place and treasured possession have made a profound impact upon your life and why. Host Deborah Thomas has been a speaking coach for 20 years, helping people feel more seen, heard and better remembered. Public speaking becomes much easier to accomplish when we talk about the things that we love. Then our voice and our body truly come alive. What these conversations have shown is that we are more alike than we are different and that what and whom we hold most dear, reveals to the world who we really are.
