LY SMITH

Introduction

Ly Smith is a Certified NLP Master Practitioner and founder of UpCycle Coaching, who moved from a three-year depression into keynote speaking and productivity coaching. Her chapter introduces her "C.A.N.D.Y. Method to Speak and Shine."

Productivity Architect Helping You to Up Cycle

When I was eight, I spoke for the first time in front of three hundred people. I felt such a rush afterwards I’d seek out any opportunity with a story or message. I fell in love with how I could make an impact.

Since then, I’ve taken my life lessons, academics, and self-education and added my creativity to provide a shift in perspective to deliver a concept in a way that someone may have heard before, yet the way they hear it from me provides an a-ha moment, and allows it to stick.

As a child, I struggled with one parent telling me how horrible I was and the other parent telling me I could be and do anything I put my mind to. That experience led me to learn how to develop and lean into consistent positive self-talk, owning my choices and consequenc- es, and how to not take myself too seriously.

As a teenager, I struggled with depression. Even attempted suicide. I understand how one can create a damaging self-perception that doesn’t align with reality yet feels so real and suffocating. I also know firsthand how to break out of it and find an exciting life with purpose.

As a young adult, I suffered through a car accident that could have taken my life. I know what it means to have a second chance at life, to not take it for granted, AND to live it fully by contributing to others.

As a mother, I know what it’s like to lose yourself to make others happy without realizing the cost of losing your own joy. My depres- sion felt like an abyss within a maelstrom. Dark and stormy, lost, and hopeless. All it took was me answering a single question. It sent me on a quest to free myself to discover joy, intention, and manifesting.

Today, I am on a mission to share my story and my message with entrepreneurs and business professionals. Those who feel stuck and are ready to ask themselves that single question which will lead them on a quest to level up their career, health, and relationships.

My experience, insights and support offer them a hand to help guide them along a journey of personal transformation as they shift from reactors to their circumstances into creators of their experiences.

“Do you want to STOP reacting to your

circumstances and

creating the WOW in life you want to experience?”

I’m Ly Smith, the Speaker Performance Consultant and Certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner with UpCycle Coaching, LLC.

I launched UpCycle Coaching because I took myself from the depths of a three-year abysmal, dark depression to a rising phoenix as a high per- former, accomplishing dreams like never before.

When I reclaimed my joy, I rediscovered my 8-year-old inner child who dreamed of becoming a motivational keynote speaker.

I’m on a mission to transform REACTORS, who feel stuck in the motions of the day-to-day wondering “is this as good as it gets?” into CREATORS, who live life with greater happiness and sense of fulfillment.

“The C.A.N.D.Y. Method to Speak and Shine” guides you to gain clarity, generate healthy self-talk, create urgency, optimize your habits, and re-engage with your amazingness.

I believe you have genius, gifts, and greatness to give the world!

“The C.A.N.D.Y. Method to Speak and Shine” helps entrepreneurs, busi- ness professionals, and coaches use speaking to grow their business yet lack the confidence to effectively stand in front of a group of people and connect with the audience with certainty and dynamic presence.

I provide guidance along the journey with options like monthly master- minds, group coaching, 1:1 intensives, lunch-and-learns and workshops. Your 90-Day Strategy to gain clarity, generate healthy self-talk, create urgency, optimize your habits, and re-engage with your genius, gifts, and greatness.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

“Ly Smith is one of the most creative, positive, and helpful people I know. With her help, one year ago I started my dream business that is now thriving, despite the COVID situation. If you want to improve your own productivity, sales, mindset, etc... or help a team in your company, you want to hire Ly!”

~ “Coach Kyle” Thalman, Owner Mythic Gymnastics, Nevada

“I just love Ly’s morning productivi- ty tips! I have heard advice like hers before. Learning the reason behind why I am making these choices from her course make all the difference where I find it easier to take the better option.”

~ Mary Beckett, Owner Blue Ice Essentials

"What's possible for me now is that I can go into speaking engagements with a lot more confidence, because I have done it in the past. Ly has also given me a lot of tips to help with my nerves and that has been super helpful, too. I just want to say how much I appreci- ated Ly and her CANDY Method! It was absolutely amazing! If you are having trouble speaking, I would strongly rec- ommend you work with Ly!"

~ H. Strand

DID YOU KNOW

Nearly all of your most successful people from gold-medal athletes, Oprah Winfrey, politicians, teachers, and moms and dads have coach- es! Do you have a coach? If not, why not?

If you do, I hope it’s someone who challenges you to be better today than who you were yesterday. Coaches won’t have all the answers. After all, they are human, too. The best coaches will have the right questions to guide you to the answers you have already within you.

Confidence is a feeling of self-assurance. 85% of the world’s popula- tion are affected by low self-esteem. [Grand Rapids Counseling Services]

When individuals are experiencing low self-esteem, it can impact their level of happiness, relationships, and performances on stage, on cam- era, and in meetings. The CANDY Method has been proven to boost confidence by as much as 30%.

Your morning routine can be the key to unlocking increased positivi- ty, improved productivity and greater peace. How you start your day matters. My mini digital course called, “Maximize Your Morning Rou- tine to Maximize Your Day” helps you to experience those three P’s.

Improving clarity about who you are, your message, and your audi- ence allows you to stand in certainty about the value of the story or message you deliver whenever you grab a microphone, a camera, or front of a meeting.

Would you agree that the more you know about what to do, the more certain you feel you can actually do it?

If you like any or all of these “Did You Know’s”, I invite you to continue the conversation with me.

"I'd highly recommend Ly to anybody who is struggling with speaking or being introverted so you can get yourself out there and do what you are meant to do because there is so much we are all gift- ed with. Sometimes we struggle to get it out. But when someone amazing like Ly comes around and is giving and serving with her heart, for sure you will get all the benefits and success!"
