Imagine you're walking around in a protective bubble. Sounds a bit sci-fi, right? But this bubble is your personal space, your sphere of influence. Now, what happens when you let that bubble collapse?
Ever wonder what to do with your hands during a high-stakes meeting or presentation? 👋 You're not alone. It's a common question I get in my workshops.
Ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? You fluff a presentation or miss a sales target. It's easy to get down on yourself, but here's a different perspective: embrace the failure.
Ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts? You're not alone. We all have those limiting beliefs that hold us back, whether it's thinking we're not good enough, smart enough, or charismatic enough to achieve our goals. But here's the kicker: these beliefs are often self-imposed.

Feeling drained by endless Zoom and Teams meetings? Let's chat about a simple trick that might help you change things up a bit - standing up! It's more than just changing your position; it brings a fresh wave of energy to your discussions and helps you connect with your audience more authentically.

Do you get flustered by difficult questions in high-stakes situations? When we find ourselves under pressure we can often go into overdrive. We can open our mouths to start speaking before our brains have had a chance to catch up. We waffle and talk around the question rather than getting straight to the point.
