Ever feel like your message gets lost in a sea of jargon? 

Do you struggle to turn complex ideas into stories that actually land? 

Or maybe you're great in a room full of people, but put a camera in front of you and suddenly you forget how to be yourself? 

If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place!

In this episode, I'm chatting with Loreta Tarozaite.

Loreta is a former TV journalist turned executive presence and video storytelling coach. She's been behind the camera, on screen, and now spends her time helping leaders articulate their vision with clarity that builds trust and connects. 

After moving to Silicon Valley from Lithuania, and navigating the exciting startup landscape, she identified a common challenge among tech executives: the struggle to communicate effectively and humanize their brands. This insight spurred her passion for helping leaders and organizations not just communicate, but connect and relate. 

This episode is jam-packed with insights to help you own the stage, the boardroom, and the screen. If you're serious about showing up powerfully and making an impact, you don't want to miss it!

What you'll discover:

  • The #1 mistake experts make when explaining what they do (and how to fix it fast!)
  • How to cut through the noise and make your message stick—even if your topic is complex or technical
  • Why great storytelling isn't just for movies—and how to use it to sell your ideas
  • How to avoid the dreaded "robot presenter" syndrome and actually sound like YOU on stage and screen
  • The key differences between executive presence and confidence (and how to develop both)
  • The biggest mindset shift that will transform how you communicate as a leader
  • Simple tweaks to look and sound great on video (even if you hate being on camera!)
  • The essential ingredient that makes people want to listen to you—and no, it's not just a strong voice

Enjoy!
