The Sixth Time: Networking, Public Speaking, and Redefining Success with Bert Lee

The Sixth Time: Networking, Public Speaking, and Redefining Success with Bert Lee

Bert Lee didn’t set out to become a speaker, branding coach, or entrepreneur. His path started with an interest in drawing and computers, led him into graphic design and advertising, and eventually opened the door to speaking and building his own businesses.

In this episode, Bert talks with Yifat and Tina about learning skills that didn’t come naturally at first, including networking and public speaking. He shares what helped him get more comfortable, why he thinks about speaking through stories rather than scripts, and how his background in dance still influences the way he teaches. 

They also talk about how Bert’s definition of success has changed as an entrepreneur, from focusing on numbers and expectations to recognizing progress, impact, and how far he has come.
