EP 115: How to speak more confidently on stage… like Candice Harvey.
Season 3 · Ep 115
About this episode
This episode wasn’t planned… and that’s exactly why you need to listen.
Last week I was in Canberra MCing a conference for the Risk Management Institute of Australasia - nearly 400 people, massive keynote lineup, big energy.
I was there to MC.
That was the job.
But after Day 1, something interesting happened…
Person after person kept coming up to me asking the same thing:
“How do I become a more confident speaker like you?”
So… I mentioned it to the interim CEO - and within minutes, I was locked in to run a session the very next day.
We ran it straight after Todd Sampson’s keynote (no pressure)… and the room was packed. Seats full, people standing at the back, leaning in.
Which told me one thing...
This is something people really want.
So, I’ve taken that exact session - the one I pulled together overnight - and brought it straight to The Shake Up Podcast.
If you’ve ever:
Avoided speaking up in a meeting
Said no to an opportunity because you felt “not ready”
Or thought “I could never speak like that”
This one’s for you.
No fluff. No theory. Just real, practical ways to help you back yourself and start showing up differently.
Because confidence doesn’t come before you do the thing…
It comes because you did.
Hit play - and let’s shake things up.
