Are you performing… or actually leading when you speak?
(And no — I don’t mean Broadway-level jazz hands. I mean that subtle, exhausting need to sound polished, perfect, and “on” every second you're on stage.)

If your speaking feels a little too rehearsed, a little too robotic, and your audience still isn’t responding the way you hoped, this episode might be the slap-in-the-face clarity you didn’t know you needed.

In this first episode of my 3-part series The Speaker’s Code: The Real Rules of Speaking That Actually Matter, we’re unpacking what really separates forgettable presenters from those magnetic, trusted voices who move rooms (and markets).

You’ll learn:

  • The real difference between presence and performance (and how to know which one you’re doing)
  • The well-meaning “rules” that are secretly sabotaging your connection
  • How to use The Power Triad to instantly elevate your authority
  • What audiences actually remember (hint: it’s not your polished presence)

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what performative habit to ditch this week so you can show up more powerfully — and more like you.

Because here’s the deal: Your message isn’t meant to be performed.

It’s meant to be felt, trusted, and acted on.
