In episode 259 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Ruth Milligan - executive speech coach, TEDx pioneer, and founder of Articulation Inc., a top executive communication firm.

Ruth is the force behind TEDxColumbus, the longest-running TEDx event in the world, and has coached over 1,000 speakers across science, business, and the arts. Her insights have helped leaders from Fortune 10 companies and major research institutions turn complex ideas into compelling, actionable stories.

In this powerful conversation, we explore:

• Common speaker mistakes that undermine credibility

• How to communicate complex ideas with clarity and emotion

• What shaded habits are — and how they sabotage your communication

• Ruth’s top tools for becoming a more confident speaker

  
  

🎤 Ruth also gives us a sneak peek into her book The Motivated Speaker, where she unpacks the real behaviors that hold leaders back in high-stakes moments.

If you're ready to uplevel your communication and truly lead with your voice, this episode is a must-listen.
