More Impact

This week, I'm exploring authneticity, sparked by a profiling assessment: the gap between how we see ourselves and how we think we need to be seen. I explore how this gap fuels imposter tendencies—and why building an authentic personal brand starts with closing it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing success rather than living it, this one’s for you.

This episode explores a topic that affects every interaction you have—whether you’re in a meeting, giving a presentation, or even just walking into a room: nonverbal communication.

We often focus on what we say, but people pick up on how we say it and how we carry ourselves far more than we realise.

Research suggests that over 50% of communication is nonverbal—so even if your words are polished, your body language could be sending a completely different message.

In this episode we cover how to project confidence and empathy, practical steps to make sure your nonverbal cues align with your personal brand, and how to read others to strengthen relationships and influence.
