What a great conversation with author and speaker Kelli Thompson on how we can gain more confidence—whether we need it to stand out in meetings or to better connect with our audience as a presenter.
Kelli covered:
👉 Presentation prep (it may be easier than you’re making it!)
👉 Overcoming imposter syndrome (own your strengths!)
👉 Speaking up confidently during meetings (asking thoughtful questions is a great start!)
3 Quick Takeaways:
💡 Being nervous is healthy, so embrace the feeling and go forth!
💡 Make clarity—not more info—the guiding principle of your presentation.
💡 Think of yourself as in service to others. How do you want your listener to feel?
