Episode Description

What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you can practice into existence? In this episode, I sit down with world-renowned voice coach Caroline Goyder to break down the science and strategy behind powerful speaking. With over 9 million views on her TED Talk, Caroline shares how she went from being told she had “no presence” and a “thin voice” at drama school to becoming one of the most trusted experts in voice, gravitas, and executive presence. We also dive into breathing techniques that override your nervous system, the "Mafia secret" to stage presence, and why the most magnetic speakers are often the ones who try the least. Tune in to learn how to command any room with stillness and breath.
