  • One of my favorite podcasts on practical leadership communication skills. The short episodes are great for quick actionable tips to build world-class skills. The longer episodes featuring guest speakers explore specific aspects of communication more deeply and from different angles. The advice and information in this show helps build skills to advance in the workplace, and also to be a more successful communicator in all aspects of life.

  • The #1 resource for exec presence in the whole world!

    Omg... what an amazing show Laura has put together! I've read just about every book on executive presence, but Speak Up is the first resource I've found that breaks the topic down into practical, actionable steps that anyone can understand and apply. Laura doesn't hide behind vague concepts like gravitas and charisma. Instead, she focuses on simple shifts that can make a real difference starting today. I'm completely hooked.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

594: Why Introverts Secretly Have the Edge in Humor and Confidence and How These Catapult Your Executive Presence
Q: Do introverts struggle more with confidence, or is it a matter of the extrovert standard set by society?
Confidence is not about natural temperament but about redefining confidence as something that can be expressed in different ways, and recognizing that introverts may not fit the loud, outwardly assertive mold yet can still be highly confident.
597: Why Memorizing Your Speech Erases Your Executive Presence and How Engaging Leaders Present
Q: How should one structure an event to maximize impact, especially for leaders?
Lead with purpose, involve senior leaders through breakouts and personal interactions, and design activities that require attendees to engage with content and with each other, rather than passively listening.
582: How High-Level Executives Build Presence, Credibility & Influence Under Pressure
Q: How should technologists prepare for board briefings to convey credibility?
Develop a comprehensive narrative, enter the room prepared to engage, and use questions to draw out concerns while demonstrating mastery of the material.
582: How High-Level Executives Build Presence, Credibility & Influence Under Pressure
Q: What does it mean to communicate risk as decisions, not data?
Explain the business impact, present a clear risk register, and walk through potential outcomes to help decision-makers see the pathway to a choice.
579: A Simple Mindset Shift That Instantly Upgrades Executive Presence for Engineers and other Nerds
Q: So, Ross, welcome to the Speak Up Podcast. How did you transition from engineer to CTO while maintaining influence across different teams?
It involved starting with opportunities to lead projects, moving to global roles (like Singapore) to build networks, and prioritizing clear communication and alignment across diverse teams to ensure decisions were understood and supported at all levels.
