How To Make Networking Less Awkward: Business Etiquette Tips That Actually Work
I recently ran a workshop and asked the room how many people actually enjoy networking. Out of a full room of professionals, two hands went up. Two. And that was one more than I had expected. If you're one of the many who finds networking somewhere between...
How to Interrupt Respectfully in Meetings and Conversations
I want to be honest with you: the title of this is intentionally a bit misleading. It's very difficult to interrupt politely and respecfully in meetings and conversations. What you actually want to learn how to do isn't interrupting at all. It's interjecting....

Can Public Speaking Actually Be Learned – Or Is It a Natural Talent?
If you've ever watched a polished speaker take the stage and thought, “That must just come naturally to them,” you're not alone. It's a common assumption. But it's a wrong assumption. Very, very few good speakers had it come naturally. They had to learn how to be a...
How Can I Be More Confident When I Speak?
Let’s get one thing straight: confidence isn’t something you’re either born with or doomed to live without. There is a confident speaker inside of everyone - including you. My job? To help bring that out, even if you have to overcome presentation anxiety. But here’s...
The Truth About Filler Words in Public Speaking
Filler words like "um" and "uh" are not the enemy of great public speaking. Eliminating them entirely is not the goal - and obsessing over them can actually make your speaking worse. What truly matters is control, clarity, and connection with your audience. The Myth...
