With over 20 years’ of experience in television production, Sarah has spent two decades shaping stories and messages for global audiences. She's now on a mission to bring simple, effective communication skills to the generation of women who were never taught them - but need them to thrive in business now more than ever. Whether it’s scaling your voice to step into thought leadership in a media interview, speaking with confidence on camera, on stage and beyond or scaling the way you communicate in meetings and presentations - this podcast will help you use your voice to be heard, in the moments that matter. Through a mix of solo and guest episodes, you'll gain real-world media insights, practical coaching techniques and honest conversations with experts  in the speaking space, exploring what it really takes to use your voice effectively. Remember to speak with intention, not hesitation and let your voice be heard.

    22. Speaking Habit #4: The Uninvited Critic (And How to Stop Her Stealing the Show)

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm closing my Summer Speaking Habits Series with the habit I think will resonate with almost everyone - the running commentary that plays in your head while you're speaking. It quietly undermines your delivery in ways you might not even have realised and unlearning this one, as it was for me, makes a world of difference.

    21. Speaking Habit #3: Waiting for Permission to Speak (Instead of Trusting in Your Voice)

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm tackling episode three of my Summer Speaking Habits Series - and this one is the most personal yet. Unlike rambling or filler words, this habit lives entirely inside your head. It's the belief that you need someone else's permission before you speak and it's keeping so many brilliant business women quiet. In this episode, I also share: 🎙️ Why I kept my voice small in the corporate world and the moment I decided to move forward despite it 🎙️ The LinkedIn comment about a This Morning opportunity that stopped me in my tracks 🎙️ Why waiting until you feel ready is just external validation in disguise 🎙️ Three practical steps to start trusting your voice and seek out the opportunities that are already waiting for you Take the Speaker Identity Quiz: https://sarahcollinscoaching.com/speakeridentityquiz About the Host: Sarah Collins is a Speaking Coach, Media Expert, former Senior TV Producer for ITV and ITN and host of the 'She Speaks to Scale' podcast.

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm kicking off my Summer Speaking Habits Series - four solo episodes dedicated to the speaking habits that are quietly undermining your credibility, confidence, and impact. And I'm starting with one of the most common of all: rambling.

In this episode, I also share: 🎙️ The four reasons we ramble and which one is most likely to be yours 🎙️ What rambling is actually costing you in terms of credibility, impact and trust 🎙️ Why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is worth sitting with 🎙️ Three practical tips to help you say more with less, starting with your very next conversation Take the Speaker Identity Quiz: https://sarahcollinscoaching.com/speakeridentityquiz About the Host: Sarah Collins is a Speaking Coach, Media Expert, former Senior TV Producer for ITV and ITN and host of the 'She Speaks to Scale' podcast.
