Building your LeaderBrand - Personal Branding, Social Media Marketing, Sales, Leadership & Expert Business for the Modern Entrepreneur How to Speak with Confidence and Impact in Any Setting, with Nausheen Chen
Let’s face it - even the most confident among us have felt that stomach-churning fear before speaking in public. Whether it’s a podcast interview, a presentation, or even just pitching an idea in a meeting, that “oh no, what if I mess up?” feeling is universal. But here’s the good news: overcoming that fear doesn’t just make you a better speaker - it positions you for bigger opportunities, from landing clients to building authority in your industry. In this episode, I’m joined by Nausheen Chen, a public speaking coach, to share how you can turn those nerves into impact and amplify your message with confidence.
Three Key Takeaways:
🔹 Less is More: Trying to say too much can dilute your message. Focus on being selective with what you share and create a flowing, interactive conversation with your audience.
🔹 Intentional Energy Matters: It’s not about mimicking Tony Robbins or going over the top—it’s about amplifying your natural self. Use your voice, energy, and body language to connect authentically.
🔹 Maximise Every Opportunity: Speaking isn’t just about the moment on stage or screen. Learn how to prepare strategically, network effectively, and follow up thoughtfully to turn visibility into meaningful results.
Take Action Based on Nausheen’s Final Tips: Here’s a simple three-step process to start improving your speaking skills today:
- Record Yourself: Grab your phone, record a one-minute clip of yourself speaking on a topic you know well, and watch it back. (Yes, it’s cringe-worthy, but so is most of life—embrace it!) Separate yourself from the performance to identify areas for growth.
- Leverage AI Tools: Use platforms like Yoodli to analyze your recording. Get data on your pace, filler words, and eye contact to pinpoint specific improvements.
- Iterate and Improve: Re-record with one focus in mind - like slowing your pace or using fewer fillers. This iterative process builds confidence and control over your delivery.
Breaking through the fear of speaking doesn’t just make you better at talking—it opens doors. Whether it’s commanding a room, winning over clients, or positioning yourself as a thought leader, the ability to communicate effectively is a superpower. So, let’s get started—because the world is waiting to hear what you have to say.
