Welcome to the show! Today’s conversation is all about creating and radiating confidence from the inside out. So often, we want to feel and appear confident, but it can be difficult to do this when we find ourselves stuck in self-criticism and feelings of smallness.
Today’s guest, Kirsten Clarkson, is an acting coach who helps her clients show up more bravely and authentically in their acting careers. In this conversation, I explore how Kirsten’s work helping performers show up boldly can be leveraged by women in the workplace. I can say from personal experience, being bold at work often feels to me like I’m standing on a stage with the spotlight shining directly on me. I wanted to learn how actors handle this pressure, so I can get better at handling it myself!
In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:
-How to build confidence
-Centering yourself in your body when you feel nervous
-How to get unstuck from being focused on our flaws
-How to handle rejection
-Being afraid of what people think of us / other peoples’ opinions
-How to have presence
-What we can learn from George Clooney
-How to walk into the room with confidence,
And so much more!
This is a seriously fun and insightful episode - and I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to the show! In this solo episode, I’m walking through a simple 3-step map that you can use to pursue your next career move. But even more importantly, I’m covering the mindset blocks that might get in the way. Because the truth is, it’s not really about knowing what to do. I believe you likely already know more than you think. I believe it’s about having the confidence to take those forward steps. And this episode is all about that – I’m chatting about the three steps you’ll want to take, and how to keep your confidence high as you begin to take them.
I hope you enjoy this episode! Come say hello on Instagram (@theartofspeakingup), I love to hear from you and receive your questions.

If you have ever worried that you’ll never be outgoing or bold enough to advance to higher levels of leadership in your career, today’s episode will prove you wrong. Today’s guest, Sarah Ghattas, has reached VP level at a major organization. She boldly leads teams and pushes forward her company’s vision, but her leadership & boldness was something she grew into over time. As a kid and during her early career years, she was incredibly quiet and shy, and throughout her career she did the inner work necessary to help her show up with greater courage in her career. Today she leads with power, empathy, and confidence and serves as an incredible role model to us all!
If you are trying to figure out how to show up with greater presence, but you struggle to do so authentically or you find it scary to speak up, then Sarah’s advice and story is sure to touch you and leave you feeling like anything is possible for you (which is true!)
