177 | How to navigate the fear of fumbling your words
One of the biggest fears I hear about from this community is the fear of fumbling your words during a meeting. And I totally get this –it can be pretty terrifying to speak before you know exactly what’s going to come out of your mouth. The good news is, fumbling your words is something that will happen less and less as you deepen your ability to speak off-the-cuff and as you learn to adopt a more confident mindset. In this episode, I’m walking you through how to do that, and hopefully, easing the pressure you might feel to sound perfect when you speak. I hope this episode helps you shed some stress and feel more confident in those meeting rooms!

In this week’s episode, I walk you through the basics that you’re going to want to master when it comes to communicating with your boss, leaders, and higher-ups at your company.

175 | How to have a super powerful voice in meetings WITHOUT being loud
Today’s topic FIRES me up because there are some very confused people out there in Corporate America telling women that in order to be more compelling, they need to be LOUD. Um – what?! This is beyond untrue – in fact, focusing on being loud dilutes your natural presence and power as a speaker. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how to build a badass presence when you speak up in that meeting room WITHOUT having to speak in a weird, fake, loud, artificial voice. If anyone ever tells you that you need to be louder – throw that person out the window. Just kidding – don’t do that. Just come back and listen to this episode (and maybe share it with them, too – to help set them straight 😉) I hope you enjoy this episode, and thank you SO much for tuning into the podcast this week.

173 | Why it’s so hard to feel competent (even if you’re pretty good at what you do)
Questioning your competence is not only exhausting and emotionally draining – but it can prevent you from creating the career that you’re truly capable of. I’ve seen woman after woman get stuck in a pessimistic, inaccurate view of her own competence – wrongly believing that she just isn’t as good at her job as everyone else around her. While this sense of inadequacy can FEEL really real, it usually isn’t rooted in objective reality and it’s usually the symptom of some deeper mindset challenges which are COMPLETELY in your power to address. Today I’m walking you through the mindset pitfalls that can cause you to feel chronically incompetent, so that you can begin to break out of them and finally trust that you have everything you need to THRIVE in your job and career.

171 | Becoming a commanding presence in meetings (even when you’re not an expert)
Commanding a room has WAY less to do with having all the answers than you might think it does. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking that you need to have all the answers to exude a powerful presence, but the truth is, being the expert in the room is NOT what makes you powerful. True power comes from seeing yourself, and acting as a leader – and that’s what I’m explaining how to do in this episode.

I’m explaining why so many people stay stuck when it comes to exuding confidence when they speak, and how to get unstuck if that happens to you.
