If you’ve ever hesitated to raise your hand in a meeting, rehearsed your words over and over only to lose the moment, or walked away wishing you’d spoken up, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
I’ve been there too. For years, even as a senior leader in Fortune 500 boardrooms, I battled sweaty palms, racing thoughts, and the fear of sounding “wrong” in front of senior leaders. I pushed through, but it was exhausting.
In this episode, I share my personal journey from being a silent performer to becoming a magnetic communicator—and the exact 3R Process I now use to help my clients speak with calm confidence and create opportunities they once thought were out of reach.
This isn’t about memorizing scripts or forcing confidence. It’s about creating inner safety so your voice can come through clearly, powerfully, and authentically.
