    31. The Speaking Pattern Holding You Back (And The Four Speaker Identities Behind It)

    When a speaking opportunity lands in your inbox, what’s your honest first reaction? Do you talk yourself out of it, say yes and start worrying, or say yes and get on with preparing? In this solo episode of She Speaks to Scale, I’m sharing the four speaker identities I’ve seen time and again through my work with clients, and why your answer tells me exactly where you are on your speaking journey. I’ve been through each of these stages myself, so I know how squiggly the road to becoming a visible voice can be. The episode also features: 🎙️ The steps and stages it takes to become a 'visible voice.' 🎙️ The four speaker identities, and the one (or two) you’ll recognise 🎙️ Why you should never compare your step one to someone else’s step ten 🎙️ The one word behind the voices that get remembered and called upon 🎙️ What I look for when booking a guest, as a former TV producer Not sure which one you are?

    29.How To Work Through Self-Doubt and Speak With Confidence.

    Is self doubt holding you back from growing and scaling your business? If so, you're not alone. In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I’m sharing something that stopped me in my tracks when I shared it in a recent talk. Research states that over a third of women who run their own business say that feelings of self-doubt are preventing them from growing and scaling. And other studies show that it’s not just founders this relates to - 70% of women in professional roles have experienced imposter syndrome, with almost half saying those feelings get more frequent as their career progresses. This episode is for every woman who has ever sat on an idea, stumbled over her pitch, or questioned whether she really belongs in the room. The episode also features: 🎙️ What imposter syndrome actually is and why it doesn’t care how qualified or experienced you are 🎙️ Why our generation was set up to feel this way 🎙️ How self-doubt affects how you communicate and how others perceive you 🎙️ Questions to help you understand what’s holding you back and how to move past it.
