OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Have you ever prepared for a big talk or meeting, and the second the room turns to you, your throat tightens and a small voice pops up — who am I to be here?
You know the material. You've done the work. But some part of you still whispers it's not safe, you're not ready. This loop is one that many introverted leaders know intimately, and it doesn't get better by forcing your way through it.
My guest today is Salvatore Manzi — a communication coach who literally lost his voice on stage early in his career, and spent the next twenty years figuring out what actually works for introverts who need to speak up. He's back for his second visit ahead of the release of his book Clear and Compelling, and he's walking us through the exact frameworks he uses with top-tier clients for public speaking, imposter syndrome, and executive presence.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Learn why sharing your thinking beats delivering the clean answer — and how introverts build influence by taking people through their reasoning
- Apply Salvatore's three-step move for imposter syndrome in the moment: name it to tame it, regulate through the breath, and take one small action
- Practice the HIPP framework (Headline, Insight, Picture, Point) so extemporaneous speaking finally has a spine you can trust
If you've ever felt overlooked because you're not the loudest voice in the room, this conversation will give you the exact tools to speak up with quiet authority. Hit play and listen now.
