A young professional recently asked me “How can I sound more confident as a speaker?
It gave me pause. Is confidence a sound?
How do we, as listeners, evaluate weather a speaker has confidence?
And is there a sound attached to that?
I’m curious. Any thoughts?

I am so curious.....
How do you PREPARE for your presentation or talk?
Do you get your power point slides in order and then have your partner/spouse/colleague/friend sit there and watch you?
or
Do you stand in front of the mirror to see what you look like as you present?
or
Do you record yourself on your phone and watch it back?
You might have other ways you prepare.
I would love to hear what it is you do to get ready.
And do you physically prepare, too?
Sitting on the sofa speaking to your friend is definitely NOT the same as speaking to a group of people.
It requires something extra of us.
What do you do to prepare so you can take this EXTRAordinary action in speaking publicly?
Respond in the comments...would love to hear your strategies!

In case you missed it........
Are you editing yourself so much in a meeting that you don't speak up for fear of not being liked?
Of saying the 'wrong thing'?
Of being judged?
Of going against the status quo?
There are a myriad reasons why we don't speak up in meetings but NOT speaking up has costs. Repressing your voice is a sure way to add stress to your body and affects your mental health.
What if there was another way to feel walking into your next meeting?
What if you entered the room feeling grounded and at ease, ready to voice your ideas?
In this video, I share a practical approach to preparing for your next meeting so you arrive with calm, ease, and in control of your voice, so you can speak up with confidence and share your ideas as the leader you know you are.

How to more than just survive a meeting!
Whether you have been asked to speak in a meeting on a topic or you have a presentation to give or even more uncomfortable....your boss has asked you to speak up in meetings because THEY DON'T HEAR ENOUGH FROM YOU, this can be so uncomfortable. More than that. Sometimes terrifying.
What if we could just walk into that meeting feeling calm, in control, confident, knowing that we can make an impact in the room, even if it is simply sharing information, with our voice and our authority?
I coach a practice that actors use in preparation before a performance. This simple technique can make a huge difference in how you are feeling before walking into that meeting. This short, physical practice takes less than 10 minutes and connects us to our bodies (that hijack us when nervousness takes over) our breath (that supports our voice) and our minds so we are prepared to speak and to listen and be absolutely present before even entering the meeting room.
