Show Notes
In this episode of Gritty is the New Pretty, Krystle Edwards sits down with Jen Mueller—legendary Seattle Seahawks sideline reporter, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, and author of The Influential Conversationalist to break down real-world leadership communication skills that help women speak up at work, build confidence, and get noticed (without turning into someone they’re not).
Jen pulls back the curtain on what she’s learned from 25 years in high-pressure broadcasting, including the moment someone tried to reduce her to “just a pretty face” and how she used it as fuel instead of a full stop. You’ll walk away with practical tools for building credibility in micro-moments and using simple conversation strategies to connect faster, advocate for yourself, and be remembered whether you’re walking into a meeting, a networking event, or rubbing elbows with a potential investor.
Join us as we discuss:
- Confidence is a skill you can build: How “small wins” stack into real momentum, especially in rooms where validation is scarce.
- Presence is part of your message: Why you’re being read before you speak, and how to show up engaged, grounded, and memorable.
- Conversation strategy = career strategy: Better openers, “success statements,” and quick connection tools that help you communicate in 15 seconds flat (and keep the door open).
