Why beliefs can either cap our potential or push us toward possibility.What you believe about yourself could be holding you back. Fortunately, Nir Eyal says beliefs aren't truths — and you can choose new ones.Eyal is a former lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford d.school, a celebrated author, and a renowned expert on human behavior and potential. His latest book, Beyond Belief, reveals how limiting beliefs — like “I'm a bad communicator” — quietly shape what we see, feel, and do. “A belief doesn't have to be true” to limit our potential, he says. But the same holds in reverse: a belief doesn't have to be true to expand who and what we can become. “Beliefs are tools, not truths. It just has to be useful.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Eyal and host Matt Abrahams explore how to identify the beliefs that hold us back — and how to replace them with ones that propel us forward. From keeping a belief journal to practicing perspective-shifting “turnarounds,” Eyal offers practical tips for rewriting the stories we tell ourselves and becoming the people we want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Nir EyalNir's Book: Beyond Belief104.

Many accomplished women already have the expertise, experience, and authority their audiences need. The missing piece is rarely more knowledge — it's connection.Story is what bridges the space between expert and audience. It humanizes ideas, creates emotional resonance, and allows insight to truly land. When expertise is combined with purposeful storytelling, a talk doesn't just inform — it connects, influences, and stays with people long after it ends.This episode is the audio from our Back Stage with Speaking Your Brand live show, where three recent grads of our Thought Leader Academy each delivered a 10-minute version of the signature talk they developed with us, designed to transform expertise into meaningful connection through purposeful storytelling.As you listen, you'll learn how powerful talks are built, including:How to turn expertise into a compelling narrativeHow to embed your unique perspective and lived experience into your messageHow story creates trust, meaning, and emotional connectionHow to structure ideas so they are clear, memorable, and actionableWhat they learned from the Thought Leader Academy and what's next for themLinks:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/463/ Watch the video at https://youtube.com/live/4s1LX8sGk7sDiscover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Apply for our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxDiane Diaz = https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianediazAllison Greco = https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisongreco/ Brittany Sadlouskos = https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanysadlouskos/ Cam Dunson = https://www.linkedin.com/in/camdunson/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 355: What a Signature Talk Is and What It Should be Doing for You

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Karin Hartunian Koukeyan—a speech-language pathologist with 28 years of experience and founder of SpeechFit—about a topic that might surprise you: public speaking. Karin shares her winding SLP journey from bilingual child interpreter to telepractice pioneer to private practice owner, and dives into why SLPs are uniquely equipped to help clients (and colleagues!) overcome public speaking anxiety. From IEP meetings to parent nights to real estate presentations, this conversation is packed with practical strategies, an eye-opening look at communication coaching as a service offering, and a reminder that it's never too late to color outside the lines in your career.Bullet Points to Discuss: How Karin's multilingual upbringing led her to SLP and eventually public speaking coaching Why SLPs are uniquely qualified to address public speaking anxiety Practical strategies for managing nerves and communicating more effectively How public speaking coaching translates to working with middle and high schoolers Building a communication coaching side hustle or private practice offeringHere's what we learned: Public speaking anxiety affects up to 90% of people—and SLPs are uniquely equipped to help. The pause is your most powerful tool. Say something, let it land, and resist the urge to fill the silence. Frameworks and scripting train the brain to communicate more confidently—whether it's an IEP meeting or a big presentation. Breath work, visualization, and role-playing are go-to strategies for taming nerves before and during a talk. Adding dialogue to a story instantly makes it more engaging—try it with your middle and high schoolers too. Communication coaching is a real and viable private practice offering for clients who need support but don't qualify for traditional services.Learn more about Karin Hartunian Koukeyan: Website: https://www.speechfitslp.com/ Website: https://karin-hartunian-koukeyan.mykajabi.com/sign-up-for-speechfit-slp-courses-8884c4d7-381e-49b9-8f2c-0d41b49592dc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speechfitslp/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-hartunian-koukeyan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karin-hartunian-koukeyan/Teachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/speechfit-slp Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

Today, I am joined by Robin Singh of Peepal Farm. An ex-hacker and ex-techie, Robin  today runs Peepal Farm, an animal rescue and awareness organization that helps animals heal and be heard. He lives on-site in a mud house, grows his own food and brews and sells Kombucha.His bumpy career start in 1997-hacking Internet accounts and selling bootleg CDs-had landed surprisingly smoothly, when a misspelled e-mail landed him a job in the US in 2003. That same year, he started a technology service that helped tens of thousands independent artists sell their digital goods directly to consumers.In 2010, with all the checkboxes checked on the societal template, he had a crisis of meaning of sorts, and he came back to India to try and be happy perpetually. It was his pursuit of happiness that put him on the path to purpose. It was eventually on that path where he stumbled upon happiness after having given up on it.The Happiness Happens ebook and paperback are available for purchase now, but, if you love a beautiful hardcover like I do, that will be available here in the U.S. on May 19, 2026.

Practical insights to help you communicate with more intention in everyday moments.What's the difference between reacting and responding? How do you move from memorizing your words to truly conversing in the moment? And how do you keep growing as a communicator in everyday moments?Communication isn't about having the perfect script. It's about staying present enough to respond with intention. In fast-moving conversations, emotions rise, thoughts race, and structure can disappear. Yet it's in the pause — the breath before we speak — that clarity begins.In this Ask Matt Anything episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams shares highlights from a recent live AMA inside the Think Fast, Talk Smart Learning Community. Listener questions open the door to practical strategies for navigating emotional conversations, relying on structure rather than memorization, and building communication habits that actually stick. Because becoming a better communicator isn't about getting it perfect — it's about making small, intentional choices every day.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:31) - From Reacting to Responding (04:25) - Memorization vs. Spontaneous Speaking (09:35) - Growing Vocabulary (13:34) - Asking for Better Feedback (17:28) - Value of the Learning Community (21:51) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Dr Ajantha Abey narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Ajantha shares how they went from being deeply uncomfortable speaking in front of others to actively enjoying giving talks about their research. Starting with childhood stage fright and a stutter, the story traces a gradual shift through unexpected leadership in university sport, repeated practice presenting research, and years of teaching neuroscience. Along the way, Ajantha explains how confidence grew not only from technical speaking skills but from developing expertise, finding supportive communities, and learning to communicate science clearly. The post offers encouragement for researchers who feel uneasy about public speaking, showing that improvement comes through practice, reflection, and experience over time. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-how-i-came-to-enjoy-public-speaking-as-an-introvert/ --   Dr Ajantha Abey is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Kavli Institute at University of Oxford.

Introverts are underrated. So says Susan Cain in her conversation with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about her book, Quiet. She explains why introversion isn't the same thing as shyness and she speaks of the many benefits of solitude and silent contemplation. They also discuss why modern schools and workplaces' obsession with extroversion is problematic, and the reasons for the shift from a culture of character to our current culture of personality. Cain concludes by sharing how the book has changed her own life and helped other introverts navigate a world that can't seem to stop talking.

What's the difference between a presentation people forget in five minutes… and a talk that quietly reshapes how someone thinks, decides, and acts for months afterward?It's not more information and it's not prettier slides (although pretty slides are nice!).This episode is the audio from our Back Stage with Speaking Your Brand live show, where you'll experience two powerful examples of what happens when purposeful storytelling meets clear, actionable frameworks - the core of every transformational signature talk.Erin Mark and Deborah Stine, recent graduates of our Thought Leader Academy, each delivered a 10-minute version of the keynote signature talks they created during their VIP Day with us and refined throughout the program. You'll hear:Two real signature talks delivered by our Thought Leader Academy graduatesThe difference between informational speaking and transformational speaking, especially important for keynotesHow your message can position you as a thought leaderWhat makes a talk memorable and actionableWhat they learned in the Thought Leader Academy and what's next for themLinks:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/462/ Watch the video at https://youtube.com/live/TKkEHY0rRXwErin's website: https://erinmark.com/ Debbie's website: https://scitechpolicyacademy.com/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Apply for our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxErin Mark = https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinmark/ Deborah Stine = https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-stine/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 355: What a Signature Talk Is and What It Should be Doing for You

Today, I am joined by Deanna Meyler. Deanna cares strongly about social justice and has been vegan since 1998. Today she is the Director of Development at the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic. It is the only independent nonprofit and approved craniofacial care clinic in the United States that accepts all patients, no matter their background or ability to pay. In the past, Deanna led a small nonprofit focused on animal rights, was part of the advocacy team at a large immigration rights nonprofit, worked in advertising/consulting for a decade, and was in academia for a decade. Deanna has a PhD in sociology, advanced certification in Community Leadership, is a Master Certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach & Educator, and has a certification in plant-based nutrition. She is the founder of An Everyday Vegan, a lifestyle website. Deanna's personal mission is to make the world a better place one meal at a time.That's not all Deanna is up to though, as a member of the Leadership team of Women Funders in Animal Rights (WFAR), Deanna is part of an organization that is making it possible for those of us who want to have an impact in the animal rights movement not just with our actions but with our money too.

“I need to have something brand new to say.”It's one of the most paralyzing public speaking myths—and one that keeps so many smart, experienced people from ever pitching themselves or saying yes to speaking opportunities.In this episode of the Public Speaking Myths Series, we're dismantling the belief that you need a completely original idea in order to get booked to speak.We'll talk about:The myth that says your message has to be brand new to be valuableThe uncomfortable truth: when you boil it down, most of us are teaching the same core ideasWhere the real difference lies—and what actually makes you unique as a speakerWhy your lived experience, perspective, and voice matter more than noveltyIf you've been holding yourself back because you think your message isn't unique enough, this episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking and start showing up.

Why being true to yourself enables you to show up better for others.From the way you communicate, to the way you build your life and career, Graham Weaver, MBA '99, says it's about “giving yourself permission to fully be yourself. You can never go wrong when you're saying your truth.”Weaver is a lecturer in management, a GSB alum, and the founder and a partner of Alpine Investors. He stresses the importance of direct communication, highlighting how avoiding it can lead to wasted time, energy, and even financial losses. Reflecting on his own experiences in private equity, Weaver admits to struggling with being conflict-averse and not speaking his truth directly, which resulted in getting into bad deals and big losses for his company. “People think that by being indirect, they're being kind, but all they're doing is creating confusion,” he says. “Clarity is compassionate. Even if it's not what they want to hear, the more direct and clear you can be, the more compassionate that is for the other person.”In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Weaver and host Matt Abrahams explore how being true to oneself not only fosters personal fulfillment but also enables us to show up better for others. Authenticity and self-belief lay the foundation for effective communication, leadership, and ultimately, success.Episode Reference Links:Graham WeaverConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:56) - Direct Communication & Limiting Beliefs (07:06) - The Internal Game (08:11) - An Asymmetrical Life (13:23) - Taylor Swift & Grit (16:17) - Pursuing Enlightenment (20:31) - The Final Three Questions (27:28) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Hello to you listening in Olympia, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am a storyteller of the old school. What do I mean? For over 30 years I've taught (and continue to teach) my clients and students the same thing: “Put down the paper and nobody gets hurt!” Why? Because storytellers have something to say that comes from their aliveness, which is what people most want to feel and connect with. Sharing our stories out loud brings them to light and life, and  encourages us to do what most folks fear more than snakes: stand up and speak up in public.   Story spoken aloud is what we leave of ourselves in another person. A story is an intimate lasting legacy, a permanent inheritance much like a vow or an oath. When we share our stories out loud, we connect with each other, we belong to each other. We might not realize it but we are creating a verbal promise, a vow, an oath of belonging. Think about how many times we've heard  someone say, "Repeat after me: I solemnly swear..." Marrying couples pledge faithfulness through the challenges and joys of marriage. Lawyers uphold the law, maintain client confidentiality, and act as an officer of the court. Doctors focus on ethics, patient care and societal responsibilities. Politicians preserve and defend the Constitution. US military support and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Immigrants becoming US citizens swear the Oath of Allegiance to the United States during a formal naturalization ceremony. From the time we are children in school we recite The Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic promise of loyalty to the United States flag and the republic for which it stands. What happens when we share our stories out loud? They become real. We say what we mean, we mean what we say. We—and those hearing us—know what we stand for and what we won't stand for. Yes, you might write a story but it needs to be shared out loud to enrich and include the wider world. That's the legacy of the stories we leave in those who have heard them spoken aloud.

"The journey to understanding starts with asking better questions." — Dan Roth "If I can enlighten others and show how we can actually create a better system, a better world, in spite of how hard it may be, then I can go to sleep at night knowing I've done everything I can for my daughters." "I made a promise to God and my daughters that I would spend every hour of every day fighting to create a better world for them to grow up in." "This is about legacy. This is about them and looking at the world that we live in and saying, hey, we need to be better because our maga, he sure as hell ain't helping."

Empowering Change Through Parenting Throughout the episode, Dan explores the impact of parenting on mental health, advocating for a shift in how we approach discussions around emotional safety within families. He shares heartfelt anecdotes about his daughters, highlighting his commitment to creating a better world for them and all children.

How to turn down the chatter of negative self-talk.If you want to have better conversations with others, Ethan Kross says you first have to quiet down the chatter in your own head.A professor, researcher, and author, Kross defines chatter as a “negative thought loop” that hijacks our attention and undermines our ability to perform. “We have a limited capacity to focus our attention,” he says. “Attentional resources are a limited commodity, and chatter acts like a sponge that consumes that capacity. It leaves very little leftover that allows us to do the things that we want or need to do.” In his work researching, teaching, and writing about emotional regulation and the conscious mind, Kross has explored how to manage the negative self-talk that sabotages our concentration. “Here's the good news,” he says. “You can get out of it. Managing your chatter [is] a lot like becoming physically fit” — and he's developed tools and frameworks for building the muscles to turn down the noise.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kross joins host Matt Abrahams to share methods for quieting chatter and reclaiming precious mental resources. From distanced self-talk to mental time travel, his tools offer a way to tune out the static and tune into clarity and connection.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Ethan KrossEthan's Books: Chatter / ShiftEp.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:27) - Defining Chatter (04:57) - Breaking the Loop (09:54) - Technology & Emotional Sharing (13:20) - Why “Get Over It” Fails (18:40) - Emotions as Data (21:11) - The Final Three Questions (25:01) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Your story is not just your story. It's part of a larger narrative about whose voices are heard and whose are erased.I'm thrilled to have Janice Gassam Asare back on the podcast. She's an organizational psychologist, equity consultant, and author of the new book Rise and Resist - and this conversation went places I didn't expect.What struck me most is how Janice reframes resistance. Not as something dramatic or career-ending, but as the small, daily choices we make: amplifying someone else's idea in a meeting, speaking up when it's uncomfortable, refusing to let an important story quietly disappear. Those aren't small acts. They're how culture actually changes.We also get into what it takes to develop your voice when you've spent years being rewarded for staying in your lane. If that hits close to home, this episode is for you.Janice and I talk about:Why storytelling is preservation and power, not just communicationHow personal stories build connection that expertise alone never canThe everyday acts of resistance that shape workplaces and culture more than we realizeHow to find your voice when you were taught not to rock the boatWhat to do when you speak up and face criticism or pushback for itAbout My Guest: Janice Z.

This episode is a rich and timely conversation about how we relate to what we know in an age of constant change and AI.My guest is Dr. Laila Marouf, a former academic who spent more than two decades researching and teaching knowledge management before having a powerful realization during the early months of the pandemic: the systems and structures she'd been focused on were designed for stable times, not for the uncertainty and disruption we're all living through now.Out of that insight, she developed the concept of knowledge mindfulness - a more human, integrated approach that connects what we know (our “knowing”) with how we show up (our “being”) and the choices we make (our “doing”), all within the real context of our lives and work.In this episode, you'll hear:The difference between traditional knowledge management and knowledge mindfulnessWhy knowledge isn't something to hoard as an asset, but a living system that needs to be nurtured and sharedHow to navigate the “fog” of uncertainty with small, thoughtful steps instead of searching for one big, perfect answerThe role of trusted others, wisdom, and unity in a world where AI can outperform us on information and efficiencyWe also talk about what this means for your leadership, your business, and your life, especially if you've been feeling like you're on a treadmill, craving more meaning, spaciousness, and alignment in how you work and live.About My Guest: Dr. Laila Marouf is Founder and Chief Knowledge Officer of Knowledge Mindfulness LLC. , an organization dedicated to evolving leaders' knowledge maturity to achieve holistic success through the use of Knowledge Mindfulness approach and strategy. Dr. Marouf has a PhD in information science with a focus on knowledge management. From there, she has embarked on a long career as a professor, researcher, consultant, and academic leader. In her book “Knowledge Mindfulness: The Interconnections that Help Leaders Transform Their Business and Life,” Dr. Marouf presents a transformative new approach to knowledge management for both individuals and organizations. Applying cutting-edge research from the worlds of business, economics, psychology, neuroscience, and the social sciences, she reveals more holistic, effective, and humane ways of harnessing knowledge to build trusting relationships and drive positive and responsible impact. About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

It's one of the most common public speaking myths I hear—especially from values-driven speakers, coaches, and creatives who genuinely care about impact.In this episode of the Public Speaking Myths Series, we're unpacking the belief that visibility is a selfish act and reframing what it actually means to be seen, heard, and paid for your work.We'll explore:The public speaking myth that keeps so many people playing smallThe difference between internal impact (how it benefits you) and external impact (who it serves)How to grow your brand through your values and your mission—not ego or performanceWhy your values should act as a guiding compass for every speaking and business decisionHow visibility and sales can be an act of serviceIf you've ever felt guilty about promoting yourself, sharing your work, or wanting to be seen—this episode is an invitation to reframe visibility as leadership, responsibility, and care.

Do you dread speaking in public — whether in a boardroom, presentation, or meeting?In this powerful episode of The Brand Called You, host Ashutosh Garg speaks with Robert Summa, Public Speaking Phobia Expert and Founder of Public Speaking Cure.After battling severe speaking anxiety for 18 years, Robert discovered something life-changing: it wasn't just fear — it was a neurological phobia. Today, he helps professionals eliminate public speaking phobia instead of merely managing it.In this episode, you'll learn:• The science behind public speaking phobia • What happens in your brain during panic • Why exposure therapy can sometimes worsen anxiety • Why traditional tips don't provide lasting relief • How curing the phobia can lead to promotions and leadership breakthroughsWhether you're a senior executive, an aspiring leader, or someone who avoids speaking opportunities, this episode offers hope — and a proven path forward.

What if the difference between stalled growth and market leadership is one bold email, one honest reframe, or one great hire you think you can't afford? We sit down with Richard Conway, Founder and Managing Director of Pure SEO, to unpack how an introvert with $200 built one of New Zealand's most recognized digital marketing groups by betting on systems, A-players, and asymmetric opportunities.We trace the path from bartering for a logo to landing enterprise leads by upgrading brand signals online, then dig into the inflection point where ten people exposed the limits of hustle. Richard explains how bringing in an operations specialist, building internal software, and opening a Manila office cut errors, scaled delivery, and freed him to sell and lead. He shares the mentors and investors who compressed his learning curve, plus the gut-check process he uses to make fast, reversible decisions without burning out on analysis.The conversation gets real about personal adversity—miscarriages, a cancer diagnosis, and a key resignation in the same week—and how trust and responsibility pulled him out of bed when comfort would not. We explore why focusing on strengths beats fixing weaknesses, how to avoid punishing top performers, and why paying for A-players ultimately lowers cost. Then we map the playbook for bold, unconventional moves: cold-calling Penguin Random House before a book existed, turning a week on Richard Branson's Necker Island into national press and six clients, and inviting industry leaders into his work with a generous ask.Along the way, you'll hear practical habits that keep a fast mind clear—Muay Thai, weekly thinking time, and broad reading—and simple ways to raise your kids' EQ by bringing them into the room. If you're ready to think like a CEO, this episode shows what it looks like: reframe setbacks, design systems, choose discomfort, and tell your story so opportunity can find you. If this sparked a new move for you, follow, share with a founder friend, and leave a quick review to help more leaders find the show. In this podcast you will learn about:• Defining elite success as comfort with actions and progress• Delegating to weaknesses to remove bottlenecks• Building momentum through daily iterations• Perception and brand signals driving enterprise deals• Mentors and transparency accelerating decisions• Fear exposure through public speaking and outreach• Hiring A-players over fixing underperformers• Funding growth with recurring revenue disciplineHighlights:0:00Think Like A CEO Series Setup0:44Meet Richard Conway And Origin Story2:42Defining Elite Success And Balance3:48Delegation And Reframing Losses6:06Moving Countries And Building A Network8:20From $200 Startup To Perception11:18Momentum And Iteration In Growth12:58Becoming A CEO Through Systems15:35Mentors, Investors, And Transparency17:18Personal Trials And Showing Up20:16Fear, Public Speaking, And Reps22:45Calculated Risk And Learning Loops25:04Decision Fatigue And Gut Checks27:12Hiring Blind Spots And Safeguards29:01Double Down On Strengths31:05Paying For A-Players And Recurring Revenue33:26Varied Days And Parenting With ExposureInterested in 1:1 Coaching?If you were truly leading at the level your vision requires, what decision would you make this week?I provide strategic coaching for high-performing financial advisors, service-based business owners, and leaders who want coaching that goes beyond accountability.

How to tap the full power of your voice.Being present in communication isn't just mental. It's about the physical energy you bring into a space — particularly, says Patsy Rodenburg, the presence of your voice.“The physical presence of the human being is the most important thing we have,” says Rodenburg. As a world-renowned expert in voice, speech, and presentation, she has helped everyone from stage actors to prime ministers hone their speaking and awaken the power and presence of their voice. “The vast majority of people are born with amazing voices, and somewhere along the line, they lose them. My job is to return people to their full power in their body, in their breath, in their voice, in their ability to speak in an exciting way.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Rodenburg joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss embodied communication. From breathing techniques and managing tension to intentionally inhabiting space, Rodenburg's insights reveal how to communicate with greater power, presence, and the potency of your voice.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Patsy RodenburgPatsy's Books: Presence / Power PresentationEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:56) - Foundational Voice Principles (05:58) - Activating Breath Through The Body (08:19) - Why Most Voices Just Need Use (11:49) - Defining Presence (16:02) - Using Space To Communicate (19:24) - The Final Three Questions (23:50) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Strawberry.me.

What does it look like to turn an idea into a message, a message into a signature talk, and a signature talk into a published book?In this episode, I sit down with Thought Leader Academy graduate Melania Murphy to talk about her powerful journey from spark to spotlight. Over the past couple of years, I've watched Melania take a deeply personal idea and transform it into a compelling signature talk—and now, a published book. If you've ever dreamed of sharing your message on a bigger stage or turning your ideas into a book, this conversation will show you what's possible.Melania's new book, Bound by Love, Not Tradition, explores married name choices and how women can make intentional decisions that reflect their identity, values, and partnership. But this episode isn't just about names—it's about voice, courage, and claiming your message.We talk about why so many people stay stuck in the idea phase, how Melania found the confidence to speak without hiding behind slides, and how her signature talk became the blueprint for her book. You'll hear how storytelling, structure, and clarity helped her move from logic-heavy content to a message that truly resonates with audiences.We also dive into the realities of publishing—what it takes to bring a book to life, how platform-building matters, and why promotion starts long before launch day.In this episode, you'll learn:How to move from idea → signature talk → bookWhy your message becomes clearer when you speak it out loudHow storytelling builds confidence and audience connectionThe role your signature talk can play in shaping your thought leadershipWhat really happens behind the scenes of publishing and promoting a bookIf you've been sitting on an idea—maybe for months or even years—consider this your nudge. Your message doesn't have to stay in your head. It can become your talk, your platform, and maybe even your book.About My Guest: Melania Murphy is a writer, speaker, and author of "Bound by Love, Not Tradition: Empowering Women Through Married Name Choices." With a degree in applied behavioral science, she enjoys blending storytelling with research to explore identity, relationships, and the traditions that shape our choices. She's been a journalist for over 20 years and is a frequent guest on podcasts discussing the deeply personal and culturally complex issue of married name choices.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/459/Get Melania's book "Bound by Love, Not Tradition: Empowering Women Through Married Name Choices”: https://www.amazon.com/Bound-Love-Not-Tradition-Empowering/dp/0960132309/ Melania's website: https://www.melaniajoy.com/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Attend our 1-day in-person Speaking Accelerator workshop in Orlando: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/orlando/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxMelania Murphy (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/melania-joy-murphy-28504263/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 458: Same Message, Different Medium, Different Strategy with Carol CoxEpisode 407: Building Your Speaking Platform as an Author (Even If You're an Introvert!) with Tiffany Hawk

Transcript:Nl: De sneeuwvlokken dwarrelden langzaam naar beneden en bedekten het dak van het oude Natuurhistorisch Museum.En: The snowflakes drifted slowly down, covering the roof of the old Natuurhistorisch Museum.Nl: Binnen, tussen de torenhoge dinosaurusskeletten en verfijnde diorama's, hees Maarten zijn schouders.En: Inside, among the towering dinosaur skeletons and refined dioramas, Maarten shrugged his shoulders.Nl: Hij ademde diep in, de koude lucht tintelde in zijn neus.En: He took a deep breath, the cold air tingling in his nose.Nl: Het was zijn moment.En: This was his moment.Nl: Vandaag was de presentatie van de nieuwe tentoonstelling: “Evolutie en de Moderne Wereld.En: Today was the presentation of the new exhibition: "Evolution and the Modern World."Nl: ”Maarten, altijd zo stil en op zichzelf, stond nu centraal.En: Maarten, always so quiet and reserved, now stood at the center.Nl: Hij had maanden aan deze tentoonstelling gewerkt, een meesterwerk van natuurlijke geschiedenis, zo hoopte hij.En: He had worked on this exhibition for months, hoping it would be a masterpiece of natural history.Nl: Zijn collega's waren al binnen, en een speciaal iemand viel hem op.En: His colleagues were already inside, and one special person stood out to him.Nl: Elena stond aan de andere kant van de zaal, haar zachte glimlach verwarmde de ruimte meer dan de oude radiatoren ooit zouden kunnen.En: Elena was on the other side of the hall, her gentle smile warmed the room more than the old radiators ever could.Nl: Elena was nieuw in het team.En: Elena was new to the team.Nl: Ze was vriendelijk en deelde Maartens passie voor het verleden.En: She was friendly and shared Maarten's passion for the past.Nl: Maar elke keer als Maarten dacht met haar te praten, kwam zijn verlegenheid op.En: But every time Maarten thought of talking to her, his shyness appeared.Nl: Vandaag besloot hij dat het anders zou zijn.En: Today he decided it would be different.Nl: Hij ademde opnieuw in en liep naar haar toe.En: He breathed in again and walked over to her.Nl: “Elena,” begon Maarten voorzichtig, terwijl hij naar de hoge ramen boven hen wees, “zou je me willen helpen bij de presentatie?En: "Elena," Maarten began cautiously, pointing to the high windows above them, "would you like to help me with the presentation?"Nl: ”Elena keek verbaasd, maar glimlachte direct.En: Elena looked surprised but immediately smiled.Nl: “Natuurlijk, Maarten.En: "Of course, Maarten.Nl: Het zou me een genoegen zijn.En: It would be my pleasure."Nl: ”De zaal vulde zich met mensen.En: The hall filled with people.Nl: De spanning kroop langzaam omhoog bij Maarten.En: The tension slowly crept up on Maarten.Nl: Maar hij had Elena naast zich, en haar kalme aanwezigheid was als een anker.En: But he had Elena next to him, and her calm presence was like an anchor.Nl: Terwijl hij de woorden op zijn cue cards bekeek, bekroop hem even de twijfel.En: As he looked at the words on his cue cards, a doubt momentarily crept over him.Nl: Kon hij dit wel?En: Could he really do this?Nl: Maar toen voel hij Elena's hand licht op zijn arm.En: But then he felt Elena's hand light on his arm.Nl: “Je kunt het,” fluisterde ze bemoedigend.En: "You can do it," she whispered encouragingly.Nl: Maarten knikte en begon.En: Maarten nodded and began.Nl: Zijn stem was eerst zacht, maar naarmate zijn passie sprak, werd hij zelfverzekerder.En: His voice was soft at first, but as his passion spoke, he became more confident.Nl: Hij vertelde over fossielen, de evolutie van vogels en hoe de menselijke nieuwsgierigheid ons steeds verder bracht.En: He talked about fossils, the evolution of birds, and how human curiosity continually pushes us further.Nl: Het publiek was geboeid.En: The audience was captivated.Nl: Bij elke dia die hij omdraaide, voelde hij Elena naast zich, haar ogen steunend en enthousiast.En: With each slide he turned, he felt Elena beside him, her eyes supportive and enthusiastic.Nl: Het uur vloog voorbij in een mum van tijd.En: The hour flew by in no time.Nl: Tenslotte klonk een welgemeend applaus.En: Finally, there was a well-deserved applause.Nl: Maartens hart barstte van trots.En: Maarten's heart burst with pride.Nl: Hij had niet alleen zijn grootste vrees overwonnen, maar ook iets waardevols geleerd over zichzelf.En: He had not only overcome his greatest fear but also learned something valuable about himself.Nl: Na de presentatie verlieten de bezoekers langzaam de zaal.En: After the presentation, the visitors slowly left the hall.Nl: Maarten en Elena bleven even achter.En: Maarten and Elena stayed behind for a moment.Nl: Ze lachten om kleine foutjes die alleen zij opmerkten.En: They laughed about small mistakes that only they noticed.Nl: Terwijl ze door de lege gangen van het museum liepen, hing er iets in de lucht.En: As they walked through the empty corridors of the museum, there was something in the air.Nl: Was het de naderende Valentijnsdag?En: Was it the approaching Valentine's Day?Nl: Of was het simpelweg de sprankeling van een nieuwe vriendschap?En: Or was it simply the sparkle of a new friendship?Nl: De tentoonstelling was een succes.En: The exhibition was a success.Nl: En zo ook de eerste stap naar iets nieuws voor Maarten, voor zijn zelfvertrouwen maar misschien ook in zijn hart.En: And so was the first step towards something new for Maarten, for his self-confidence and maybe also in his heart.Nl: Terwijl ze de deur van het museum achter zich sloten, keek Maarten opzij naar Elena.En: As they closed the door of the museum behind them, Maarten glanced at Elena.Nl: Hij merkte de warme tint van haar lach opnieuw op.En: He noticed the warm hue of her smile again.Nl: “Dank je, Elena,” zei hij, en voor het eerst voelde zijn stem sterk en helder.En: "Thank you, Elena," he said, and for the first time, his voice felt strong and clear.Nl: “Samen zijn we een goed team," antwoordde ze eenvoudig, maar veelzeggend.En: "Together we're a good team," she replied simply, but meaningfully.Nl: En zo begon voor Maarten niet alleen een nieuwe fase in zijn werk, maar ook in zijn leven.En: And so began not only a new phase in Maarten's work but also in his life.Nl: De winterharde ramen konden de warmte van deze nieuwe connectie niet buiten houden.En: The frost-covered windows couldn't keep out the warmth of this new connection.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

One of the most common mistakes I see speakers make is trying to deliver a six-week course or a full-length book in a 45-minute talk.And then they wonder why: • the audience looks overwhelmed • the energy drops • no one remembers their message • leads don't convertHere's the mindset shift that changes everything: Same message. Different medium. Different strategy.When your message doesn't match the format, your talk can feel confusing, overwhelming, and forgettable — no matter how good your content is. But when your message fits the medium, your impact multiplies.In this episode, I share:The reasons you want to cram more content into your presentationsHow each format — lead generation presentation, keynote, workshop, course, coaching, and book — plays a distinct roleWhy books are uniquely powerful for depth, nuance, and authority (and how this ties into my upcoming author interviews)How to escape the expert trap and step into thought leadershipIf you're building talks, presentations, workshops, courses, or a book, this episode will completely change how you think about your content ecosystem.Ready to build a signature talk that gets you the results you want?
