  • 122: But I Don't Wanna...
    Do you always feel like doing things you "have" to do? (I'm guessing that the answer is no.) The same happens with public speaking - we don't always feel like speaking up, doing a presentation, giving our feedback. But we're often in a situation where we must. How do we reconcile these two? How do we still give a powerful, impactful performance when we're not feeling it at all? This episode will tell you. Be sure to tune in.

  • 121: "Gone Head and Tell It"

    When communicating, there's a shortcut to get people to resonate with you and ultimately remember your message. The shortcut is: stories. Really - if you're communicating with someone who's completely different from you, how do you get your point across? Yes, using a story is the answer. But I talk about it in this episode. 

    Tune in and get the lifehack :)

    You've listened to boring speakers before. The ones who just present their info without engaging you or even making their content interesting. THIS IS A BIG NO-NO.

  • 116: 'Fess Up

    Giving the illusion of being perfect or always put together isn't helping your communication. People want to know that you can relate... that you're human, that you feel just like they feel. 

    It might be uncomfortable, but when you are committed to vulnerability, watch how things change.

  • 115: What Confidence Is(n't)

    When you think of confidence, what comes to your mind? Notice that you already have a preconceived notion of what being confident is. What if that notion was different? What if you could be confident without really feeling confident? 

    This episode demystifies this concept... I urge you to tune in. When you realize how simple confidence is, using it becomes a piece of cake.

  • 114: Are You Comfortable or Nah?

    TBH, the fear of public speaking is rooted in feeling "safe". Humans don't like feeling uncomfortable, whether it's communication-specific, or just related to life in general. But just feeling safe, secure, and certain keeps us in a stagnant state of mediocrity. And you're not a mediocre person right? (Besides, life is never just secure or certain.) 

    So ask yourself... Am I comfortable or nah?
