Why Speaking Up Matters for Your Career

Are you tired of being overlooked in meetings—because you struggle to speak up on the fly with confidence?

To see if Laura’s Executive Presence Mastery System 90-day coaching intensive is right for you, set up a strategy call here.

Whether you're an introvert, a non-native English speaker, or simply someone who wants to be more impactful in your career, this episode is your roadmap. Our guest, Philipp Schett, breaks down how staying quiet—even with the best ideas—can cost you promotions, energy, and professional visibility. He introduces a deceptively simple framework that helps you speak with clarity, structure your thoughts, and lead with influence: OKRs.        

By the end of today’s episode you’ll know:

🔥A powerful mindset and communication tool introverts can use to gain visibility without changing their personality

🔑How OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) help you speak with clarity and impact—even in high-stakes executive meetings

🎯Why working "in public" (inside your organization) is the secret to being seen as a leader before you’re promoted

If you're ready to step up and start speaking like an executive, hit play now to unlock the OKR framework that could transform your executive presence.

Speaking off the cuff is something a lot of us struggle with and I really appreciate Philipp’s Objectives and Key Results as a framework for presenting your ideas successfully.

So look, if you find yourself stuck in meetings where you know you have great ideas—but you're holding back, second-guessing your voice, and watching other people with less experience get the credit or the promotion… and it’s starting to eat away at your energy and even your sense of identity…

That’s exactly why we created the Executive Presence Mastery System—to help you pinpoint exactly what’s holding you back from being seen as a strategic leader and give you the structure to show up with clarity, confidence, and impact.
