No matter your level of expertise, years in your industry, or depth of knowledge — if you’re not able to present that content with confidence and PRESENCE… you’re quietly holding your business back.

How we present ourselves and our businesses is just as important as the actual value we provide. So how can you ensure you’re showing up ready to make the greatest possible impact with your presence? And how can you do this while remaining authentic and true to yourself?

That’s exactly what Anne Maree Wilshire and I are discussing on this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast. Anne Maree, founder of Vibrant Voices, is an expert on voice, presence, and presentation—and today she’s sharing the secrets to speaking with impact, confidence, and presence as a small-business owner.

Here’s What You’ll Discover on This Episode: 

  • What “presence” really means in a business context (and why it creates trust and authority!).
  • The 3 biggest internal barriers that prevent your message from landing – and how to recognise them fast.
  • Why old belief systems about being ‘appropriate’ hold us back from saying what we truly want (and prevent us from attracting people who agree!)
  • The #1 blindspot entrepreneurs have when preparing for presentations, keynotes, podcasts, or any speaking event (Hint – it’s NOT the quality of your notes!).
  • The professional masks you might be putting up that actually create a disconnect with your clients (You might not even realise you’re doing this!)
  • How to make your audience understand – and resonate with! – your message, without feeling like you’re overexplaining or rushing.
  • Why confidence is never something you can wait for, and the ONE thing you can do to actually create it.
  • Exactly what to prepare before speaking so you can stay grounded (and more importantly – connected to your topic, audience, and passion).
  • What conviction and courage really look like, and how to access them in high-pressure situations.
  • Why presence matters to you and your brand, and how to cultivate that presence to attract more clients, bring in opportunities, and open doors for yourself.
