117 | Executive presence: what is it and why does it matter so much?
Tuesday Mar 23, 2021
Tuesday Mar 23, 2021
EEEK! I am rather excited about this episode. Executive presence is a topic that is so important for your career, and yet so many leaders in the corporate world don’t really understand how to help women build it.
In today’s episode, I’m explaining to you exactly what executive presence is and why it matters. I’m also sharing a super simple exercise you can do to start developing your own executive presence.
If you love this topic, keep on the lookout because next month I’m doing more episodes on executive presence and I’m also releasing a free video course to help you even more.
I hope you’re having a fantastic week. If you want to get in touch with me – message me on IG! I’m @theartofspeakingup.

116 | A deep dive on building confidence with Sheena Yap Chan
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
Today’s interview is just wonderful – Sheena, our guest, is the host of The Tao of Self-Confidence, a show that amplifies the stories of Asian women and dives deep into the topic of building confidence.
In this episode we dive deep into the topic of confidence – talking about how the journey of building confidence looks different for everyone, and how it isn’t about getting it perfect – it’s just about making small, sustainable steps and being willing to face your fears.
Check out Sheena’s work, and her podcast below:

Are you self-critical? If so, this episode is for you. Your brain, when left unchecked, can make you feel awful and convince you that you’re the worst person ever. This can feel insanely crappy but the good news is, you’re not broken the way your brain says you are, and you have the power to change what you think and how you feel. And when you do this – you will start showing up with SO much more confidence at work. Tune in to learn how and let me know what you think!

On today's episode we have special guest Brenda Baird (Executive Leadership Coach) on to discuss fear in the workplace. In particular, where it stems from, how it can affect us at work, and what you can do to overcome it. She also talks about what makes a good leader, dealing with burnout, and how to be more self reflective in general. Learning how to dig deeper in our self reflection process and challenging the patterns we uncover is vital in continuing to grow, being a better leader, and feeling more comfortable and confident in your voice and yourself!

Welcome to the show! Today is my favorite kind of interview: long, honest, winding, and a little bit of an escape from the real world. I had so much fun chatting with executive coach, Rayla Bailey, on what it means not only to lead with confidence, but to create joy and fulfillment in one’s life.
We cover so much in this episode – some things you’ll hear us talk about are:
-Mindset
-Being a private/sensitive person
-Building trust with yourself
-Leading
-Separating from the need for external validation
-Chasing joy and playfulness
-The importance of rest
-The pressure to change your physical appearance at work
Rayla was a delight to have on the show, and if you’re wanting to learn more about her, you can check out her website at: https://www.raylabailey.com/

Welcome to another solo episode! Today, I’m talking about how you can take control of your professional trajectory & pave the way for a career path that is truly remarkable.
I think that women in the corporate & professional world deserve best-in-class career development advice. That’s really what was missing for me in my career, and was why I started this show.
As women – we need career guidance that is truly inspirational and allows us to tap into the strongest, most powerful version of ourselves. And that is exactly what this episode is designed to do.
Listen in and I’ll guide you through a way of thinking that will make 2021 (or any year!) the year you show up DIFFERENTLY.
Because when you show up differently, the world responds differently.
And that is when things REALLY start to take off.
I can’t wait for you to listen in.
If you’re interested in applying for 1:1 coaching, you can find everything you need at my new website: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/
And if you have any questions or just want to say hi, you can DM me on Instagram (@theartofspeakingup) or email me at jessica@theartofspeakingup.com.
Catch you soon,
-Jess
