Stop Performing - Start Communicating As Your Natural Self


Listen Later

You don’t need to look, talk, or teach like anyone else to be wildly effective. In this episode, Robyn breaks down how four powerhouse speakers—each totally different in style, pace, presence, and delivery—were all magnetic because they were natural, not performed. We unpack how performing drains energy, blocks connection, and lowers conversions—and how knowing your wiring lets you communicate in a way that actually works (and feels good).

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Natural Self vs. Performed Self (and the red “stress gap”)
  • Why comparison jams your signal—and how to find your lane
  • Speaking/creating through your wiring (dominance, extraversion, pace; plus your logic vs. intuition balance)
  • What drains you vs. gives you energy on stage/online
  • Slides or no slides? Stories or no stories? Dancing or stillness? Why all can work
  • How connection → trust → conversion (and why performing breaks that chain)
  • Practical prompts to stop performing and start showing up as you
