If you can’t clearly and confidently explain who you are and what you do in 30 seconds, you’re not alone… but it’s costing you.
We all speak every day. But few of us know how to truly communicate in a way that inspires action.
In Episode 150 of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION (yes, 150!), I’m joined by Shelley Goldstein, known as The Coach Whisperer, who shares what it really takes to embody your messaging and stop shrinking in rooms where you belong.
Shelley has worked with thousands of professionals across five continents. Her #1 international bestselling book, Remarkable Speaking: A Framework to Embody Your Voice and Your Vision, is for anyone who wants to show up with more presence.
In this episode, Shelley breaks down:
• The hidden impact of labels like “introvert” or “imposter”
• How to reframe fear when you’re stepping into something new
• Why storytelling is still your greatest communication tool
• Her signature “sprint method” to unlock clarity in minutes
We first crossed paths at Ringling Brothers, Shelley was designing, I was handling PR. Even then, she had that rare blend of presence and purpose. Today, she teaches others how to find it in themselves.
If you’ve ever wanted your words to reflect your value, this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways:
You do not need to be a professional speaker to speak with power
Personal storytelling builds connection and credibility
Labels like introvert, extrovert, or job title often limit our potential
Reframing how you think about speaking is the first step to growth
Effective communication is about essence, not perfection
Confidence comes from clarity, repetition and self-ownership
Everyone deserves to be heard, not just the loudest voice in the room

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
