Most people think influence comes from being charismatic, loud, and having the best arguments. Heads up: it's not.

In this episode, I break down how real influence actually works, why “trying to be taken seriously” usually makes you less influential, and how internal confidence creates the kind of calm authority people naturally trust.

I’ll walk you through practical steps to build it, from getting clear on your values and stopping the approval audition, to regulating your nervous system and communicating with more weight, plus three challenges you can practise this week to start influencing without performing.
