What can climbing a mountain teach you about becoming a powerful communicator? In this episode of Speaking With Confidence, Tim Newman sits down with Vesela Mangeyna, a business coach and corporate finance expert, to explore how preparation, adaptability, and authenticity shape how we connect with others.  

Vesela shares how her experience scaling Mount Fuji mirrors the challenges of effective communication, navigating unexpected obstacles, pushing past self-doubt, and learning to trust the process. Whether in boardrooms, networking events, or personal conversations, confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about being prepared, present, and real.  

This conversation goes beyond the mechanics of public speaking to explore how self-awareness, feedback, and storytelling transform everyday interactions. Vesela unpacks the four communication archetypes and how understanding them can help you engage, influence, and inspire any audience. If you've ever struggled with imposter syndrome, fear of speaking up, or feeling like your message isn’t landing, this episode is packed with insights to help you communicate with impact.  

 Key Takeaways:  

✅ Preparation builds confidence – The more prepared you are, the more naturally you can adapt in conversations.  

✅ Authenticity is your superpower – People connect with real, not perfect.  

✅ Fear fades with action – Confidence is built by showing up, speaking up, and learning from experience.  

✅ Feedback accelerates growth – Seeking input from others sharpens your ability to communicate effectively.  

✅ Know your communication archetype – Understanding your natural style helps you connect with different audiences.  

✅ Engagement is everything – Powerful communication isn’t about what you say—it’s about how you make people feel.  

✅ Every conversation is an opportunity – Whether in meetings, networking, or everyday interactions, your words have impact.
