The Charismatic Leader

#150 - Confidence Is A System You Can Master


Listen Later

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast.

Brett McDermott breaks down a game-changing truth: confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a loop you can trigger on demand.

In this episode, Brett reveals how physiology, self-talk, and behavior form a feedback system that creates unshakable presence. He shares practical resets and scripts you can use before any meeting, pitch, or presentation to step into the room with grounded charisma.

If you’ve ever felt small, frozen, or walked away knowing you could’ve shown up bigger, this episode gives you the tools to flip the loop instantly.


Key Takeaways:

  • Confidence is a feedback loop of physiology, self-talk, and behavior
  • Use the “open, tall, still” formula to project presence
  • Install intentional self-talk: “Slow is smooth, smooth is powerful”
  • Small behavioral signals—eye contact, pauses, posture—create big perceptions
  • Apply the 30-second confidence reset before high-stakes moments


Would you like me to also craft a short teaser caption (like a one-liner hook) for social media posts to drive clicks?
