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.

The Speaker’s Code (Part 2) – Stop Dumping Your Diary on Stage
Ever told your story on stage and walked away with applause… but no real engagement?
No follow-ups.
No “that changed me.”
Just a few polite head nods and a “you’re so brave.” 😬
➛➛➛ Here’s the truth: storytelling alone isn’t enough.
Not if you want to lead, connect, and inspire action.
In this episode — Part 2 of The Speaker’s Code — I’m sharing how to stop dumping your diary onstage and start using your story as the powerful, strategic tool it was meant to be.
You’ll learn:
- Why “just tell your story” is actually dangerous advice
- The 3 elements every story needs to land and lead (yes, every one)
- How to make your message the point — not your pain
- What separates stories that move people from stories that just… impress them
- How to map out your own signature story (without overthinking it)
Because your story isn’t meant to be entertainment or emotional exposure.
It’s meant to lead.
To teach.
To move.
And if you’re ready to stop performing and start communicating with power — this episode is your roadmap.
