Manage episode 394355581 series 2840613
In this podcast episode, public speaking and leadership coach Lauri Smith shares her insights on how authenticity and charisma can propel individuals up the corporate ladder. Throughout the discussion, she underlines the importance of staying true to oneself, tapping into personal charisma, embracing silence, and using breath to manifest one's core message.
Lauri’s unique conversation-based approach emphasizes the value of treating speaking engagements as a two-way interaction. She strongly believes that passionate and genuine communication isn’t about copying someone else's charisma but rather unearthing one's own authentic voice. Weaving personal stories with expert tips, Lauri provides a comprehensive roadmap for those wishing to improve their public speaking skills and executive presence, regardless of their cultural background or speaking style.
Moreover, Lauri and I explore the applicability of her coaching methods to different age groups, particularly underlining the importance of empowering young leaders.
