APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | PANDORA | ANDROID
In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin unpacks the building blocks of confidence, especially when you’re standing in front of an audience or your laptop camera. Erin shares how to transform your next presentation from nerve-wracking to noteworthy.
If you’ve ever felt your heart race before speaking up, this episode is your how-to guide to keep your nerves at bay and your message clear.
Confidence Is the Presence of Trust
Erin flips the script on what confidence really means. Learn how self-trust, not perfection, is the true foundation of powerful presence.
From Self to Service
Your audience doesn’t need you to be flawless, they need you to be real. Erin shares why focusing on your message (not yourself) instantly boosts your confidence and connection.
Preparation Can Be Playful
Forget memorizing every word. Erin’s improv-inspired hacks make preparation engaging and energizing, which will both show through when it’s showtime.
Own Your Quirks, Own the Room
Authenticity is your competitive edge. No one can do it exactly like you can. Discover how embracing your unique style makes you instantly more memorable.
Your Play Challenge
Before your next presentation, take 5 minutes to shift your mindset. Replace “How do I look?” with “How do I want them to feel?” That small reframing builds instant confidence and audience connection.
If you’re ready to stop fearing the spotlight and start owning it, this episode will help you speak with clarity, charisma, and confidence every single time.
You’ve outlined your slides, practiced your intro, and told yourself this time you won’t wing it—but when it’s go time, your nerves still take the mic.
Enter The 3-Step Presentation Guide: your go-to roadmap for crafting, practicing, and delivering a talk that lands. With this simple system, you’ll calm your nerves, sharpen your message, and step on stage (or into that conference room) with real confidence.
