The goal of this podcast is to help you become a powerful, memorable communicator. How we breathe, our body language, the quality of our voice, and how we dress all all affect how the world sees us. But what about how we see ourselves, deep down inside? Any discussion about how we show up in life is rooted in one thing: confidence. In this episode, I’ve invited an expert to tell us what confidence is, what it isn’t, how to nurture it, and how to get it back if we’ve lost it. Alyssa Dver is a 6 time author and the co-founder of The American Confidence Institute.

There are two bad habits I observe as a communicators coach everywhere I go: use of filler words and “UpSpeak”. What are filler words? Examples include: um, ahh, like, so, you know, okay, sure, and uhh. Filler words are your brain’s way of filling space while you try to find the word you want to say. The trouble is, when you use filler words, you sound like you don’t know what you are talking about. UpSpeak is when you pitch your voice up at the end of a sentence and you sound like you are asking a question instead of making a statement. The result? Filler words and UpSpeak undermine your credibility and hurt you as a communicator. The good news is, I know how to fix these bad habits quickly. All you have to do is press that download button.
