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
