You can be smart, skilled, and well-spoken… and still not connect with your audience.

Yep. I said it.

If your message isn’t landing the way it should, there’s likely a few sneaky mistakes slipping into your delivery—and I’m calling them out in this episode.

In this episode of Speak Like It Matters, I’m breaking down 5 sneaky mistakes that even smart, seasoned leaders make when they speak. 

These aren’t the obvious, “don’t read your slides” kind of tips. I’m talking about the subtle missteps that quietly sabotage your credibility, connection, and confidence.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What actually makes you sound disconnected (spoiler: it’s not nerves)
  • The difference between “performance” and real presence
  • Why too much information is killing your credibility
  • How to tell a story that doesn't put people to sleep
  • The one adjustment that makes your delivery instantly more engaging

If you’re tired of blending in and ready to speak like a leader people remember, this one’s for you.
