I feel like 21 episodes is a milestone! When I started this journey of podcasting, I don’t think I realised the amount of work that would be involved in releasing a 20-40 min talks every week, but boy was I wrong. It is a HUGE amount of work.

But all the hard work is worth it when I see the 1000s of downloads, subscriptions, comments and reviews. If you are a listener, you’re enjoying the show and haven’t subscribed, please do…it does help to keep the momentum going.

In this episode I revisit key moments and insights from past guests who have shared valuable tips on developing speaking skills and using their voice to make an impact.

Highlights include discussions world renowned emcee Devon Brown, personal branding expert Kelly Lundberg, and reality TV star Taleen Marie and many more covering insights on overcoming imposter syndrome, the importance of webinars in digital marketing, and the significant role of personal stories in building our brand.

Each snippet reinforces our podcast's mission to help you confidently share your message, build your brand, and make a difference.

Have you ever experienced a sudden drop in your speaking confidence, despite having worked your way up the ladder throughout your career, and excelling in public speaking all your life?

If not you, what about someone close? A boss, a spouse, a colleague?

In this week's episode of the podcast, I focus on common but rarely discussed challenges executives face in public speaking as they progress in their careers. I share personal experiences and insights on how hormonal changes, including menopause and andropause, can affect confidence and performance in public speaking for women and men and I offer some grounded advice and techniques that can help to work through these challenges.

One of those techniques is the importance of breathwork, positive affirmations, mindset work, and continuous learning to regain composure, confidence, and ultimately regain your public speaking prowess, regardless of career stage or life changes.

This short episode shares valuable insights for experienced professionals struggling with newfound public speaking anxiety, offering techniques and encouragement to navigate these challenges successfully.

My friend, my guest today is a dynamic personality int the TV, film, and media production industry Reim El Houni. I met Reim at a TV presenter bootcamp she was running where I was thrown in the deep end and exposed to the behind the scenes of TV presenting. It was an incredible experience, one that I recommend for anyone looking to grow their online presence.

In our conversation Reim emphasises the importance of adding value through content, embracing one's unique voice, the significance of visibility, and the strategic importance of sharing valuable knowledge freely to build trust and credibility.

Reim also shares insights from her expansive career, including experiences from broadcasting live TV shows during Expo 2020, and underlines the importance of live presentation skills, managing on-the-spot challenges, and the benefits of putting oneself out there despite the inherent fears and cultural barriers.
