Ever delivered something that looked fine on paper - but halfway through, you knew it just wasn’t landing?

You weren’t boring. You weren’t unprepared. But something felt… flat.

In this short, sharp episode, I break down why technically fine talks often fail to connect - and the single mindset shift that can change everything.

It’s not about being louder or more polished. It’s about finding the bit you actually care about - and letting that lead.

If your talks feel a bit beige, this one’s for you.
