How do some leaders show up, almost effortlessly, with a proactive point of view and clear messaging? I'd bet you money that for most, it's a matter of intention and skill-building, not just natural talent! The ability to balance warmth, confidence, and competence is not just within reach for extroverts, either, according to today's guest.Today, Laura Camacho and I talk about what executive presence means (it's not just how nice your suit fits!), how empathy relates to executive presence, specific challenges for more introverted leaders to increase their empathy, and what the C-suite is looking for to promote someone internally. Laura shares that the true purpose of executive presence is to help others have confidence in YOU as a leader, and she shares some tools on how to be clearer and empathetic in your messaging, as well as tips to mentor others, especially introverts.

Even the most analytical people are driven by emotion.If you are stressing about saying something badly, say it anyway - it likely won't be bad, and you can always course correct on the off-chance that it is.Prepare in advance to speak out in meetings about your domain. Be prepared to speak up early and with structure. "Connection, competence, and confidence - you need all of those. You cannot have executive presence without empathy." — Laura CamachoFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

Send us a textWhat separates truly influential leaders from those who merely complete tasks? It all comes down to how they communicate. Laura Camacho, host of "Develop Your Executive Presence" podcast, reveals the critical mistake most leaders make: focusing too heavily on proving themselves rather than adding value to others.In this thought-provoking conversation, Laura introduces the powerful "flashlight concept" — the idea that in every interaction, we're either shining the light on ourselves or others. When leaders constantly highlight their own achievements and knowledge, they miss countless opportunities to create meaningful connections. Real influence happens when you turn that flashlight toward others, asking follow-up questions and showing genuine interest in their experiences.The discussion explores practical communication techniques you can implement immediately. Count how many times "I" appears in your important emails. Prepare thoughtful questions before social events. Consider how your energy levels impact your message delivery. These small shifts can dramatically transform your leadership presence.Laura also shares her personal journey as a self-described "hardcore introvert" who's built a successful career in communication. Growing up in the Deep South with a grandmother who introduced her to different languages at age four, Laura's path has been shaped by powerful influencers who showed her that women could build multi-million dollar companies when that wasn't the norm.Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply wanting to communicate more effectively, this episode offers actionable insights on creating consistent routines, establishing empowering boundaries, and developing communication habits that reflect your values. Ready to stop proving yourself and start adding real value through your communication? This conversation is your starting point.To Learn more about Laura Camacho: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauramcamacho To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

To max out this charisma lesson here are 3 practices for you: 1. Focus on warmth and personal connection. Remember that the next time you want to show others charisma. For now, don't worry about presence or credibility, that's what most of us tend to over index on. Focus on showing warmth. 2. Share your bloopers. In your stories and even work presentation, share specific aspects of yourself and your experiences, NOT trying to be perfect. Of course at work your experience needs to relate to your topic. But say you're talking about trustworthy AI, share a funny story where you got a crazy response from some generative AI platform. 3. Charisma can be rehearsed a la Robin Williams.

Today's international guest, José Ucar, author of Global Influence breaks down how to amplify one's global impact and create meaningful connections across cultures and borders.

In this mini podcast episode of Speak Up with Laura Camacho, the host, Laura, focuses on the executive theme of being articulate. The episode is concise, lasting less than 20 minutes, and is part of a series where Laura delves into specific topics without conducting interviews. 80% of what we do, probably it's more like 99%, is communication and it needs to be effective. Even with intimidating audiences. You must be able to get your point across and persuade other people and be likable. ( I know that's controversial for some of you but it's true.) And people have to know you, trust you, and like you, and this mini-episode lays it all out for you. She defines what it means to be articulate, and goes on to share her five steps to becoming more articulate. The five steps, all starting with the letter 'S,' are as follows:

“El estrés, bien gestionado, se convierte en el impulso hacia tus propósitos. En la carga laboral, tu diferencia radica en cómo canalizas ese estrés y le das significado a tu propósito.” – Laura Camacho Mackenzie (

Laura chats with a totally different kind of guest this week - entrepreneur, investor, and luxury Modern Victorian home builder, John Gioffre. Not an introvert, Gioffre became an industry thought leader while acting as an industry outsider, meaning he doesn't always follow the rules of how you're supposed to work in the real estate development and luxury home construction business. You may have seen John's work online as he was the first to build a home in the Modern Victorian style, which set off a big trend in luxury home building. Let that be a cue to you - have the courage to deviate from the ways “things have always been done” – when it makes good sense to do so. That's precisely how thought leadership is formed. John shares all the many ways he deviated from the norms and in the process built a stellar reputation and a successful business. Not only will you learn real-estate investing ideas from our guest, but also unusual takeaways like these:

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Just in time for your travels, I've chosen 3 episodes to re-release because they are JUST THAT GOOD.

Kathy Klotz's fascinating background, a former tech exec turned comedian, podcast host and keynote speaker, knows exactly what leaders need to build trust and connection. Without these key ingredients, your team cannot innovate. She and Laura discuss how using humor (not necessarily telling jokes) is a great way to be human at work. The reality is that trust is at an all time low and to retain top talent and be innovative, your team or group has to be a great place people WANT To work - where trust, laughter and connection happen. Bringing humor and levity is not about being funny; it's about connection and trust. Be inspired and grab your pen

We agree that the purpose of television is to entertain. Most effective enterprise business leaders know how to make their key messages entertaining. All business owners either grab enough attention, or go out of business. And that's what Maz Farrelly shares with us in this conversation: how to be more interesting. "It's not my job to be interested, it's your job to be interesting." Like excellence in all things, paying attention to detail makes the cut. Whether it's dressing in a signature look (á la Steve Jobs) or crafting unexpected metaphors, or even bringing the best cake in town to a client meeting, standing out from the vanilla beige crowd is the supreme competitive advantage. And Maz has the stories to prove it. And yes, they're entertaining. "There's no point in being incredible and making beautiful things if no one knows you exist."

In this episode, Laura is excited to introduce you to Carlo Pignataro, whose uber cool job is to help companies & individuals add a touch of luxury and elegance to their business so they can stay out of price wars and build emotional links with their clients/stakeholders. How's that for a unique approach to executive communication? We kick off by chatting about culture as top luxury brands, like other top companies, focus on retaining top talent. (Hint: no ping pong balls, beer, or even luxurious workspaces needed.) We spend a lot of time connecting the allure of luxury brands - their desirability, their quality, their stories, their courage to accept they're not all things to all people in relationship to leadership and communication. 15+ years of experience in the international luxury industry have taught me that value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. – Carlo Pignataro Grab your Cartier pencil ✏️ and take note of these takeaways and others!

Today's eclectic and engaging guest, Melissa Dinwiddie, helps us all think about work from a more creative perspective, especially through improv exercises. Did you know that improv can help you think on your feet faster? We even did a cool improv exercise on this episode. (Try it with an introverted member of your team!) Connectivity means more connected brains. Melissa regales us with her stories from the trenches and also shares hard research on the benefits of bringing improv practices and creativity in general, to your “non-creative” work. Time to grab your pencil ✏️ and note down these these takeaways:

Today is special as for the very first time, we brought back a former podcast guest. That happens even less frequently than a Perseid meteor shower or a Triple Jovian Eclipse.

Since then his two books have won quite a number of impressive awards!!! Chris' technical background gives him particularly useful insight in that important communication flow between the IT side and the business side of any company. Chris and Laura are both astounded at the level of complexity we all manage on a daily basis, and the cognitive load and the pace of change are only going to get heavier, which makes communication even more challenging.

Along the path of his eclectic career, Tom Jackobs picked out the high-payoff tidbits you need to craft a story that moves people to action. That's charisma in a nutshell, and being an extrovert is NOT required. It's about creating a teaching moment, a pitch that doesn't sound like a pitch (because no one likes being sold to!) What you are really going to love about this episode, and I'm speaking to those whose work is related to technology and or engineering, is that Tom has a PROCESS for crafting a story that sells. What Laura and Tom really focus on is “selling” your solutions/proposals to senior leadership, how to find that story that sells the value you offer. (You should probably listen to this episode twice, just saying.)

cómo mantener una buena salud mental – Laura Camacho – Epi 32https://www.pastasdoria.com/Doria PresentaHISTORIAS QUE NUTRENDescubre los temas que nutren tu vida a través de historias de personas que aportan a tu bienestar físico, personal, espiritual y profesionalFrecuencia: quincenalDuración promedio: 30 minutoscómo mantener una buena salud mentalMantener una buena salud mental en el trabajo es esencial para nuestro bienestar y productividad. Sin embargo, en un entorno laboral demandante y competitivo, como el que se vive actualmente, puede ser difícil mantener una buena salud mental. Aprender a evitar el burnout y otras condiciones similares que pueden afectar nuestra salud mental, es clave para vivir bien. Vamos a explorar algunas formas de mantener una buena salud mental en el trabajo y prevenir el burnout.1. Establece límites. Si te das cuenta de que estás trabajando demasiado o tienes demasiadas responsabilidades, aprende a decir "no" y a “levantar la mano” para pedir ayuda a tu jefe o compañeros. Asigna horarios regulares y límites claros entre el trabajo y la vida personal. Esto te ayudará a reducir la ansiedad.2. Prioriza la autodisciplina y el autocuidado. Se consciente por ejemplo de tener el sueño adecuado en calidad y tiempo, aliméntate de forma saludable y haz ejercicio regularmente. Sácale tiempo a las actividades que te gusten fuera del trabajo, como compartir con amigos y familiares o practicar un hobby.3. Practica la gratitud y la mentalidad positiva. Al hacerlo cambiarás tu perspectiva y mejorarás tu bienestar emocional en el trabajo. Trata de encontrar algo positivo en cada día, y haz una lista de cosas por las que estás agradecido. Incluso, atrévete a dar gracias por cosas que en apariencia son negativas para tu vida. Al final descubrirás una lección o algo positivo de estas situaciones. 4. Establece una red de apoyo. Esto puede incluir amigos, familiares, colegas y profesionales de la salud mental. Si te sientes abrumado, busca ayuda y apoyo. No tengas miedo de hablar con un terapeuta o consejero si sientes que necesitas ayuda adicional.5. Encuentra un trabajo que se adapte a tu propósito superior. Si estás en un trabajo que no te emociona ni te reta, pero si te “hace sufrir” considera buscar otras opciones laborales. Busca un trabajo que te permita equilibrar el trabajo y la vida personal, con un ambiente laboral saludable y que te sientas feliz de llegar allí cada día. Un caso real de BurnoutLaborar en una multinacional famosa ha sido la aspiración de muchos ejecutivos. El salario, el desarrollo profesional y los beneficios extra laborales las hacen atractivas para muchos.Pero asimismo demandan mucho mas de sus empleados.

In this episode of Speak Up with Laura Camacho, Laura has a wonderfully candid conversation with Jenne Sevilla, a certified financial planner, about one of the trickiest topics: money. Jenne entered the field of life insurance sales after college. She found that it did not come naturally to her, her tendency was to educate and develop relationships as opposed to sell quickly. After facing the same issue at a different firm, Jenne realized that insurance sales was not for her. She decided to take a position in a support role in the finance industry instead. During that time she educated herself thoroughly on the topic of personal finance and eventually became a certified financial planner. It was after this that she created Money Moods, a personal finance program that focuses on behavior first and helps you build financial confidence. In this episode, Jenne and Laura discuss the importance of addressing money openly in the workplace (and at home). Other wisdom bombs include: - How emotions play a pivotal role in our money behaviors - Signs you may be with the wrong financial advisor - Whether or not we should be worried about the banking industry - What is cash flow analysis and why it's an essential part to financial health - Why as investors it is essential we pursue financial education - Why money has become a taboo topic - The five money moods: guarded, dreamer, spontaneous, generous, and passive Jenne's strategies for bringing up money, even when it feels uber uncomfortable You can learn more about Jenne and how she can help you on her website.
