Being good at your work is only part of the equation. Presentation coach Leslie C Fiorenzo joins Michael Whitehouse to discuss helping people communicate their expertise with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Leslie shares a practical breathing exercise for speaking nerves, explains why communication matters for technical leaders, and explores the role of curiosity, listening, and stories with a point. She also describes how a connection through The Connector's Edge led to an in-person speaking opportunity, and why practice with feedback is so valuable.

• Preparing your presence before a presentation
• Communicating clearly in meetings, on camera, and in everyday conversations
• Using curiosity and questions to build trust
• Making a point with a story and giving every story a point
