Episode notes

In this solo episode of The BigDeal Podcast, I’m breaking down how to communicate like a CEO so people actually listen when you talk. You’ll learn how to speak with authority, use body language that signals confidence, master the pause so you control the room, and frame conversations so your ideas land. These are the exact strategies I use—and they’ll help you stand out, get taken seriously, and make sure your voice carries weight in any room.
