Speak Like It Matters Podcast
Welcome to Speak Like It Matters (formerly Visionary Voice) — the podcast for courageous, purpose-driven leaders who want to communicate with clarity, confidence and credibility.
I’m Csilla Muscan, public speaking coach, storyteller, and the creator of the 'You Are The Message' framework.
Here’s the deal: If you want to be the kind of speaker who leads with clarity, connects with depth, and actually gets remembered—you’re in the right place.
This isn’t about fluffy pep talks or recycled TEDx tips.
This is about building a message that resonates, a presence that commands, and a voice that leads—whether you're speaking on stage, on camera, or in a client conversation.
If your message feels unclear, your delivery falls flat, or you're tired of blending in with the sea of “experts” out there, this show will help you sharpen your voice and show up like it matters.
🎯 New episodes weekly.
🎙️ Practical tools. Real stories. Honest conversations.
Let’s turn your voice into your greatest leadership asset.
Ready to speak with impact? Hit play—let’s get to work.

What NOT to Say if You Want to Boost Your Credibility
Words shape how others see us—and how we see ourselves.
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the language traps that might be quietly undermining your message—and showing you how to ditch them for good.
We’re talking about the subtle phrases that slip into our conversations, robbing us of confidence and clarity without us even realizing it.
This isn’t about polishing your grammar; it’s about transforming the way you communicate so your words reflect your true strength.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:
- 🚫 The five phrases that can sap your credibility (and how to replace them with powerful alternatives)
- 💬 Why using phrases like “I think” and “Does that make sense?” can create self-doubt and diminish your authority
- 🔄 How simple language shifts can turn tentative statements into bold, confident expressions
- 🎯 Practical techniques for cutting out verbal crutches so you can connect with your audience more deeply
