About this episode
Last week, I stood in front of 70 people at a workshop in Rockhampton, and for the first five minutes, I got... blank stares, arms crossed, the kind of silence that makes you wonder if they understand your accent?
Then something shifted.
Someone spoke up. They warmed up. And by the end, I was reminded of something I already knew: every person in that room was freaking brilliant at their job.
The real challenge for this group wasn't the work they do each day - it was finding the words and the confidence to actually talk about it.
That moment is exactly what sparked this episode of The Shake Up Podcast.
Today, I'm joined by Sally Prosser - voice and communication coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Voiceprint - for a conversation about the gap between being great at what you do and actually being able to talk about it with confidence.
In this episode, we discuss:
What's really happening in meetings when some people say nothing and others won't stop talking
Why so many of us cave the moment we hit resistance in a negotiation
What it actually takes to be heard - not just listened to - in 2026
If you've ever known exactly what you wanted to say and lost it the second you opened your mouth, this episode is for you.
