How To Speak With Confidence, The Invisible Influence Of Fathers & The Values Our Kids Inherit #76 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Say less. That might be one of the simplest ways to immediately sound more confident. This week we start with speaking confidently, and why trying to remove every “um”, pause or filler word probably misses the point. Confidence is a collection of cues. We talk about slowing down enough to let your brain catch up with your mouth, getting to the point earlier, preparing properly, using the conversation before the conversation to settle your nerves, and why sometimes the most confident answer you c

Career Maxxing, Gaslighting Managers & Taking Control Of Your Own Success #72 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody cares about your career as much as you do. That might sound harsh, but it's one of the most empowering lessons you can learn. In this episode we discuss why so many people spend years working hard without ever clearly defining what success in their role actually looks like. If your company hasn't set meaningful KPIs, how do you know whether you're succeeding? How do you demonstrate your value? How do you build a case for a pay rise or promotion? Waiting for someone else to create the fram
