In this episode, I’m joined by Simon Hall, creator of the award-winning Compelling Communication Skills course at the University of Cambridge and a former BBC journalist with 20 years’ experience across TV, radio and online news.
We talk about what confident communication really looks like, why preparation matters more than appearing effortless, and how simplicity, brevity, clarity and authenticity can transform the way you speak.
Simon also shares practical advice for public speaking, meetings, difficult conversations and using your voice with more impact, plus why confidence without substance will only get you so far.
