What if everything you’ve been taught about owning the room—especially as an introvert—is completely wrong?
In high-stakes environments like boardrooms and courtrooms, performance matters. But it’s not your resume or facts that win minds—it's your energy, your storytelling, and your presence. If you're a brilliant, introverted high-performer struggling to translate quiet expertise into commanding leadership, this episode will show you how to flip the script.
By the end of today’s fascinating conversation with A-list attorney Brian Beckcom, you’ll know:
🔑Why reframing nerves as something else is a powerful mindset shift even elite trial attorneys use
💰How to use personal storytelling and body language to instantly increase your influence
🪝Why authenticity beats perfection—and how to stop overpreparing and start connecting.
Hit play now to learn how to show up with power and presence—even when the stakes are sky-high and your instinct is to stay small.
If you’ve spent years being technically brilliant but still feel overlooked or underestimated in critical moments, it’s time to fix the missing link: your executive presence.
That’s why I created the Executive Presence Scorecard—to help high performers like you identify the invisible blockers keeping you from the influence and recognition you deserve.
So if you’re ready to see what you need to address to stop proving and start connecting, get access to the scorecard by emailing me at hello@speakupwithlaura.com and put “score” in the subject line.
