Are you silently spiralling over a big presentation coming up? Or working from home and crushing projects but feeling totally invisible come performance review time? Or here's the uncomfortable truth bomb – are you actually the colleague who turns every team catch-up into your personal TED talk?

This week on BIZ Inbox, Em Vernem and Sarah Davidson are serving up hard truths about meeting monopolisers who suck all the oxygen out of the room, plus sharing subtle tactics to give your quieter teammates a chance to shine without staging a workplace intervention.

We're also solving the absolute terror of public speaking with psychology tricks that actually work (spoiler: clench your butt cheeks – seriously, it's science), and helping remote workers prove their worth when they're competing against the office crowd from their kitchen table.
