🧠Being told to 'just be more confident' is not advice; it’s a cop-out. The real power lies in how you frame your message, not in forcing fake confidence.

As a high-performing leader, you’ve likely been mislabeled as “lacking confidence” when, in reality, you’re simply unsure how to position your message effectively. This episode dives into the art of framing, a skill that empowers you to shape perceptions, steer conversations, and elevate your executive presence—without pretending to be someone you’re not.

By the end of this episode you’ll know:

✨ Discover why low confidence is often misdiagnosed and learn what actually drives leadership impact.


🛠️ Master the CLEAR framework to craft compelling narratives, even when you’re caught off guard or don’t have all the answers.


🎯 Turn challenges like budget cuts or career gaps into opportunities by reframing them in ways that inspire action and confidence.


🎧 Stop letting bad advice hold you back—hit play now and learn how to use the power of framing to take control of the narrative in your next big meeting or presentation!


Framing isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about setting the stage for constructive dialogue and shared solutions.
