The episode also features:

🎙️ The single most important document you can create to make sure you always know what to say - whatever the speaking opportunity
🎙️ Why your previous feedback is gold-dust for your confidence and why you should read it before you do anything else this September
🎙️ How to set yourself a speaking challenge that will hold you accountable and get your voice back faster than anything else

In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm closing my Summer Speaking Habits Series with the habit I think will resonate with almost everyone - the running commentary that plays in your head while you're speaking. It quietly undermines your delivery in ways you might not even have realised and unlearning this one, as it was for me, makes a world of difference.

In this episode, I share:
🎙️ The unexpected moment that showed me just how much my inner chatter had changed.
🎙️ Why the inner chatter gets louder under pressure
🎙️ Why accepting imperfection in advance is a game changer
🎙️ Three practical ways to manage your inner chatter before, during and after any speaking opportunity

In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm tackling episode three of my Summer Speaking Habits Series - and this one is the most personal yet. Unlike rambling or filler words, this habit lives entirely inside your head. It's the belief that you need someone else's permission before you speak and it's keeping so many brilliant business women quiet.

In this episode, I also share:
🎙️ Why I kept my voice small in the corporate world and the moment I decided to move forward despite it
🎙️ The LinkedIn comment about a This Morning opportunity that stopped me in my tracks
🎙️ Why waiting until you feel ready is just external validation in disguise
🎙️ Three practical steps to start trusting your voice and seek out the opportunities that are already waiting for you

In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm tackling episode two of my Summer Speaking Habits Series - and this one is all about filler words. Um, er, you know, like - the words that are quietly costing us credibility with every speaking opportunity we take.

🎙️ The neuroscience behind why too many filler words trigger a subtle trust response in your listener
🎙️ Why listener fatigue is real
🎙️ Three practical tips to limit them - starting with the one that will make the biggest difference immediately

In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm kicking off my Summer Speaking Habits Series - four solo episodes dedicated to the speaking habits that are quietly undermining your credibility, confidence, and impact. And I'm starting with one of the most common of all: rambling. We've all done it - kept talking when we know we should have stopped or said more than we needed to - and this episode explains exactly why and what to do instead.

In this episode, I also share:
🎙️ The four reasons we ramble and which one is most likely to be yours
🎙️ What rambling is actually costing you in terms of credibility, impact and trust
🎙️ Why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is worth sitting with
🎙️ Three practical tips to help you say more with less, starting with your very next conversation
