Janna Landry started as a performer — the kind of professional who has to win an audience in seconds — and then brought those same tools into the business world. In this conversation, she breaks down what “executive presence” really is: not polish, not perfection, not a fake persona, but emotionally grounded communication that matches who you are and who you’re speaking to.

We dig into her framework for communication styles, why audiences detect misalignment instantly, and how a “passion pitch” lands better than a rehearsed elevator speech. Janna also makes a strong case for humour and imperfection as trust accelerators, plus the underrated power of pauses — letting the room breathe. The episode closes with practical advice on navigating change, reframing failure, and leading with your heart while sharpening your message.
