What's the real difference between a good performer and a truly great one?
In this episode, I reflect on what I learned at a recent conference with some of the world's leading voices in psychology and neurobiology. All of the presenters were polished, knowledgeable and engaging - but only a few created that deeper sense of safety, connection and authenticity that makes an audience lean in and truly listen.
Join me as I explore:
The hidden factors that hold even confident performers back.
The reason your relationship with judgement (both your own and others') shapes how you feel on stage.
The key shift that transforms stage fright into genuine stage presence.
Simple, practical steps to help you feel grounded, safe and authentic in your next performance or presentation.
If you've ever found yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or striving to "get it right" before stepping in front of an audience, this episode will show you a different way. It's about moving past performance armour and stepping into calm, confident connection. So you can share what you have to offer with freedom and authenticity.
✨ If you've got a performance or presentation coming up and today's episode really resonated, I'd love to help you put this into practice. I've created some short-term coaching options for exactly these moments — when you don't have months to prepare but still want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected.
You can choose from:
The Confidence Kickstart – 3 focused one to one sessions across 1–2 weeks
The Performance Power Session – a 90-minute deep dive to shift what's holding you back
