    I stumbled onto Cat Matson through the Chat 10 Looks 3 Facebook group. I’m very glad I did. I’m about to go and check out the Goldilocks course on how to speak just the right amount. I just listen to the latest episode whilst I was walking and I listened twice and already I picked up a couple of tricks, I like the way Cat talks I’m very hopeful I might be able to improve my communication skills

  • Speaking With Confidence

    I love this podcast. Super helpful tips. I had a feeling I was doing “death by PowerPoint” but didn’t understand a way out until I listened to Cat. That one tip alone has improved my speech incredibly but that’s not the only one…listen to this podcast if you want ALL the tips and some pretty generous input from Cat herself.
