Speaker 1 (00:50):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
This one was like we need something new.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I know, well, we really needed something new, and I
think with the rebranding of a lot of stuff at
work and rebranding of our house and the podcast, it
was just perfect to find in your studio.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It is absolutely beautiful. It's so our aesthetic. I mean,
the energy in the studio is amazing. I'm so excited. Well,
we have an exciting show today.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are you excited about it?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And we've been talking so much about confidence with the
reps at work and energy.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
So this guest is just so exciting.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And it's so important to especially talk about confidence when
you're doing anything in life. I mean, honestly, when you
were really young, I was like, teaching you confidence. Confidence
is such an important gift and if you use it right,
you can do anything in your life.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Right, let's talk about the guest.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, today we've joined by the incredible beautiful Kate Zeus.
Kate is a speaker, entrepreneur, and mentor who's passionate about
helping women step into their confidence and embrace the connection
between beauty, presence and business.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Welcome, excited, We're so happy you're here. You just so
ch I mean, where did we meet? First of all,
I think we met at modern day vife.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I was like, who is that chick? She's super hot,
she stands good. Let's get something straight. I need to
talk to her, right Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
And I love your energy immediately because I what I
love about women that when they're like know how to
step into their power when they're not apologetic like you, No,
and no place for apologetic energy here, wory, straightforward. You
always know what you want and this is a kind
(02:39):
of women I like, and I try to surround myself
and also like where I help.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If you need help? So that said a lot about you,
and of course the full daughter.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So I'm so excited to talk about what you do.
I think that's something that not a lot of people
know about. So can you tell everyone just a little
bit about what you do?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Absolutely. I'm self presentation presence coach. My business is called
Master Your Presence, and I work with amazing women who
are already confidence.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They are already.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Know, they feel the expertsons, they feel their founders creative,
but there's.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Something like small things that are missing.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So where this is where I step in to help
them polish their body, language, energy and the way they
show up so the world can see their internal confidence,
internal expertise, every since that they built when they are
there on public, whether on camera, on stage, everywhere in
(03:40):
the world, where your presence matters.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And you know what I love about the way you
do this because I remember we were at Modern Day
Wife and I was, we were going on stage and
I was and you just slightly help us, you slightly
with you know, such confidence, just kind of tweak my
little you know, pose or whatever I was doing, and
that shifted my energy right there, just that little thing.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, it's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
That's not about huge transformation, lives changed, No, it's like
subtle details that helps you to step into the next level.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's about how you hold.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Your lag, hands, shoulders, eye contact, everything.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Where did you learn this? A lot of crazy?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I don't know. It's all like subconscious, right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, but it's definitely learnable. It's a skilled can you learn.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, where did you learn it?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I feel that I've been always like this myself. I
was I've been on a stage since the age of four,
so I've been to dancing and dancing. Yeah, it's a
way of communication without saying word. And also I've been
in the corporate world consulting before our tech world, different
(04:56):
companies for more than ten ten years, so I been
to different boardroom stages, client meetings, workshops, trainings, like everything,
and what I noticed that Yeah, I always loved to
be like a a center of attention, but I never.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Like you know, I love that too, like you know, strive.
I was never loud, I would say, I would like
I was a shy kid.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But at networking events, for example, it came to me
effortlessly when I met connections where when they presented at
clients meetings, while other people could have more experience, more knowledge,
but still to meet was like more naturally.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, So I feel like home, like, that's what I
love to do.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And I started noticing like, for example, like huge exact leaders,
they would shrink at the moment when they step into
the stage, or like you know when they speak at
zoom and you.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
See the screen and they like look like this is
the screen, like they just.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Don't know the way how to show up, or you know,
we were taking headshots at at one of the corporate
shops and I was also there in a lot and
I saw leaders taking headshots, so yeah, they're leaders, executives,
But the moment they stepped into cameras like they scared.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I was like, but I know what to do.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And then like, you know, you can only connect dots backwards.
So now I see that all those events circumstances shaped me,
shaped my experience.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And after I left corporate, I.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Went back to my passion, which is dancing. I started
teaching dancing and I realized, yes, women came to me
to learn dancing, but they walked away with something different.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh that's why I see you on those dancing videos.
I'm like, I want to do that you're like doing,
but I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What is it? It's high heels it's very very cool. Thanks.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
So that the feedback I received from women that they
felt more empowered, more confident, not only a dance studio.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So you're saying that women feel more powered if they're
doing a dance class.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why don't we do a dance class for the rest.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I mean? Seriously, sales is all about being confident. It's
all about being open, right, So one of the things
that we talk about is how to get the stylists
more confident.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, I think it goes with like even when you
talk about public speaking, like I run a lot of
Sam's company, right, and even when I public speak, I
get really nervous. So like, how do you like combat that?
I feel like that's something that you've been talking about.
So what are like three types that we could maybe use?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, you have completely rights. It's for everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
This big moment can be different for someone that's meeting
with a client, for someone speaking.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
On stage or podcast or even.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Interview, even online interview on the zoom. So when it
comes to how to do that, number one and the
only tip will be preparation.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, So what I do with it?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
What I teach my clients when we have events coming
up like you no soon, like not always, you have
a lot of time. I will break down everything for you,
like how you walk onto the stage, how you should
what the.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Chair look like. Is it this comfiture or.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Like a barstool or are you walking the stand? Do
you have a handhold mic or you have something.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Like that or headset? So when you are.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
On stage, you're not thinking about your gestures because we
already learn it, we already did it. Like you know
that if you're accounting, you do one to three. If
you show something, wow, that's a huge news. You do
respective gestures for a huge thing, right. Or when you
want to feel more warm approachable, you will live a
(08:46):
smile more.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You will tilt or lean like.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
You know, towards people, so it will create more worms.
It depends on what you want to project.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So do you want to be more like authoritated like
you know, full b babe like, or you want to
be more friendly like yeah, and that's what I do
all of this when they speak on stage or podcast,
I'm like, oh, we're showing thanks to people. But that's
what I do.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
So preparation and attention h So you know, okay, I
want to project this vibe. I want people feel this
when they see me.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Intertay on my presence and we work on this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, there is no magic, it's just practice.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That is so great. I love that because you know
what they our girls can practice going to appointments. Actually,
she does a lot of role playing in her meetings
where they practice talking to each other. For me, it
always came natural because I was just I gotta get
this done. I got to get back and pick her
up by three o'clock and I need to make three
(09:49):
sales today. That was in my head. So you know,
I'm a goal oriented person. But if you're a little
bit shy or you don't have the confidence. But that's
why I started this comempany at a lead home staging career.
I wanted women to feel like they could do anything
with their life. Especially when I started, people were like,
there's no way you're going to be successful. You don't
(10:11):
have your design license. I'm like, you better watch me.
And not only that, I'm going to show women how
they can do the same thing that I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So but anyway back to you, So what I love
about you is so I've done a lot of events
with you, and I always see you helping people backstage,
and I think you're really doing it because you're passionate.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You could be their clients.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And I know you've helped one of our very own founder, Megan.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Which was really exciting. Can you tell us a little
bit about that.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, absolutely, that's something in my sence that started like
a partnership. What's curnedly, you know, in the friendship, long
term relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I think it's important though to talk about how
it starts. So when you guys are doing networking events,
it's so important. I try and tell the girls all
the time, do networking events. It starts there and then
it becomes.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Yeah, something bigger, absolutely, and you will see the long
term impact that I am not going for like immediate gain.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm not interested in this.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I'm interested in long term relationship and connections.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And the same way it started with meganie Leif.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
She's co founder of Modern Day Wife and last year
she went for Missus International. So she just called me
because she remembered once I gave a workshop at one
of the Modern Day Wife's events, posing.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And how to be on stage, how to walk and hills. No,
that was the workshop and she like, oh ar now
is this girl?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Like she called me like I needed to prepare me
to be a pageant for Missus International twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I was like, yeah, sure, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So we were preparing for this specific moment right to
be on stage for Missus International, and she won.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, And now it's like it's been more than a
year right from the event. Still she's like, oh every time,
and she has a lot of events, like every two weeks, right,
and she's like every time I'm speaking, I'm going to
have a photoshoot. I remember about your tips, I remember
about my posture, I remember about my leg, about my toe,
about my hand.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So it's like, what an accomplishment. That's amazing. Yeah, it's
like a long term transform. It's not like no huge transformation.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
She was already like an hour nice and powerful and
beautiful woman.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But we did like so small things.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I pointed, like, for example, when you still do this, Yeah,
immediate change and it's still it's still working.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
What has been your favorite story you've had with the client?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Favorite story?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I feel like everyone is so different because for someone
like for Megan, rite, it's more.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
For public appearance, right Tage.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yeah, I had someone who did it for her work,
and she's in a leadership and tech company and it's
mostly like an in corporate, closed setting. But the feedback
she received from others that she followed a little bit intimidating.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Intimidated.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, and really, but people when so human, persons are like, what,
you're actually a nice person.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Don't look the same on camera?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And when we polished her look on camera presence, how
she approached speaking on camera on zoom basically right, the
change and impacts where was immediate? People are like, oh,
we don't know what changed, but you feel different.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, that's actually really important thing to talk about as well,
because we always talk about to the girls, it's always
when you leave the house, you need to look your
best because when you look your best, you feel your best,
and especially when you're going to see a client.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And I think that's that goes into there's a study
that shows woman who wear makeup daily make twenty percent
more money. Would you agree that beauty correlates.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
With how much money you can make?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well, it's definitely an interesting study. Yeah, And I feel
my perspective that it's not one percent about makeup, but
about attention you put them, love that you have, Like
if you have like full makeup glowy for a nightclub
and you go to work, it's a wrong message, right right.
(14:29):
But what I believe that if you're doing your makeup,
I can tell that you're prepared, your intentional for what
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're disciplined because you did.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Some time, right, so you're prepared to set aside this time.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Even money, because it costs things and it matters.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And to me, it feels like you put an effort
to show up like this, so it means something.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And probably that's why overall.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Those women who do makeup, they might be more disc
or just more put together in all.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Other aspects of their life.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Right, And what I think that for women, perception might
come for from our efforts, how we do or make up,
how shop, how we're styler ourself. But for men it
may come for a thing that they do not control,
like they're height, their features.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Like and also that study that throw.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Like I will not tell you a percent, just google it,
but like the majority of those CEO from top Fortune
five hundred are three inches higher than average American. Interesting,
so if the man is taller, most likely they will
become CEO.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
While for women, as you said, maybe it's our effort
that we do.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So this is all about business. So my intention for
this season is that we don't only talk about so
I've been since two thousand and eight empowering women to
be who they are. Right well, I think that it's
really important that we also talk about becoming into the
(16:07):
feminine at home with your husband, and this is an
important topic, especially for CEOs, especially for business women, women
that are, you know, empowered to be the best they
can be, but they got to remember, we all have
to remember we have to drop back into the feminine
and be the feminine that we.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Are supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I can't really.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's what I said in the beginning. More intentions.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
That's what I do with my clients, that we learn
how to be different. What creates this different wipe? Do
we want to be more feminine, sensial, sexual?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Do this? Like if you want to be more friendly
like girly girl, do that.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
If you want to be more like boss at your work,
peers with your clients, do that?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And it's not different versions you, it's the same you
to know how to maneuver it.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yes, that's a great I mean, you know we talk
about confidence and you know, presence and all that, but
sometimes when we go home, we forget to take the
boss out of there, and you know, our partner doesn't
want us.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
To be that boss.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Right, So a lot of women struggle when they get
home because they're like, you know, they're a CEO there
whatever they are there's but they're super corporate. And then
when they go home, the husband doesn't want them to
be that person. And so I think that is a
big thing that I want to get across this you
know season.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And what do you say about that? I would say
that fine.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
For yourself, what helps you to turn on the energy?
For example, for me, it can be high heels dancing
right maybe before you it gives me just a nice
candle set up or like nice evening routine with your hair,
with your face that will help to tap into those energies.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
But for me, yeah, and also.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think it's the tone, the way we speak. We're
supposed to you so used to speaking a certain way
at work. We have to remember there are equal right.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Absolutely, and to my story to my example, even though
I mentioned that I've been to dancing since early childhoods,
there was a break like I had few years when
I was not dancing.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I was more into gym sports routine.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And what I felt that I became like, you know,
more like this.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I didn't feel feminine in myself, so I was like, okay,
well something is wrong there. So I returned to dancing.
And this is where you get this soft line. The
fluidity is just softness, sensuality and everything, so you can
start noticing.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
What do you think about that call?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I think it's interesting. Yeah, I mean I work twenty
four seven.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And I know you do girls but dating now, but
now you're dating, and maybe if you cook it get
home and she's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And you could learn to cook a little more. Maybe yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Something that you like, Yeah, I think for me, like
I have a good face routine that night, or I
use like Allies of Skin, which I love their skincare, and.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
She's obsessed with product. Let's get something straight.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I love that kind of stuff. And then what else
do I do? I do meditation that helps calm my mind,
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Know, I mean, I don't do the Monday evening, come
to me with them.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I loved I would. It's downtown. Yeah, I think that's
really cool.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I really I did a heels class one time, I
will say, and I talked to some of my friend
Brooke like does this And I felt so like Howard afterwards.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, you were so excited about the dance.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
But it's it's hard to get like into things sometimes
when you're working so much.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
And I felt just like so girly and like, Okay,
it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So if you guys are bored taking a dance class, actually,
I would really fun to have the reps to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And I went to ASSAUSSA class with one of our guests.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
That was so fun.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I was dying. They were like professionals. I was like,
oh my god. But I felt so proud of myself
and I felt great after.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Great reminder, it's fun more.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But that's so interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I think like if you could give us, like maybe
a couple of tips, like because I know, like, for example,
my reps are going into meetings sometimes I'll tell them
because I've learned like matching body energy or body language
is hopeful to close deals is there any tips you
can give them to try to give us one tip
feel like comfortable with their clients.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, you were talking about by language mirror.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, it can help, but they should do this tent
what each gesture would mean, because maybe if a mirror
like weak tissures might not like interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
What I well, again, I will sound probably repetitive, but
it all starts with the first impressions and the moment
you walk in into the room. It's about your eye
contact how you maintain it. So you like extend your
hand and like look down like you know, or you
(21:29):
look in the eyes and maintain like for two three
seconds with a warm smile like or even about your
hand handshake, like you know, is it like week week
or like?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I love that. That's great.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And and you're getting to come to lead home stage to.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Talk to all the girls. We're so excited. So what
any you know before we wrap this up?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Is there anything you're working on that you guys you
want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah? Absolutely so.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
And I mentioned my business is called Muster Your Presence
and what I do mostly our work was women one
to one, So they are feeling most prepared for their
important moments, whether it's on stage, camera, anywhere in the world, wardroom, anything.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
But what I'm tapping into.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Is more like workshops because we're doing with you soon offline.
I've been doing workshops before online it's about magnetic presence
for your business and visibility, and now I want to
do more offline because this is where I feel must
like you can see the most effect.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like what oh you want to you actually want to
be in person? Correct.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
So here's a good, good little note for you. Nicole
and I are speaking at the the HSA in London.
And last time we were exhausted and Nicole asked for
a duel and you're acting. We were exhausted and I
was standing and let me just tell you know, and
by the way, my body's ripped, so I had my
(23:04):
big jacket tied around my waist.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Everyone was probably dying.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
This one's sitting on the stool, barely even saying a word.
I'm like, people go, they're so excited they like what
we had to say.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
But this time we need to be more prepared with
that about your since you mentioned about your clothing, but
I always recommend it's like, you know, no do not

Speaker 2 (00:50):
This one was like we need something new.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I know, well, we really needed something new, and I
think with the rebranding of a lot of stuff at
work and rebranding of our house and the podcast, it
was just perfect to find in your studio.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It is absolutely beautiful. It's so our aesthetic. I mean,

And we've been talking so much about confidence with the

Speaker 4 (01:20):
So this guest is just so exciting.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And it's so important to especially talk about confidence when
you're doing anything in life. I mean, honestly, when you
were really young, I was like, teaching you confidence. Confidence
is such an important gift and if you use it right,
you can do anything in your life.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Right, let's talk about the guest.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay, today we've joined by the incredible beautiful Kate Zeus.
Kate is a speaker, entrepreneur, and mentor who's passionate about
helping women step into their confidence and embrace the connection
between beauty, presence and business.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Welcome, excited, We're so happy you're here. You just so
ch I mean, where did we meet? First of all,
I think we met at modern day vife.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I was like, who is that chick? She's super hot,
she stands good. Let's get something straight. I need to
talk to her, right Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
And I love your energy immediately because I what I
love about women that when they're like know how to
step into their power when they're not apologetic like you, No,
and no place for apologetic energy here, wory, straightforward. You
always know what you want and this is a kind
(02:39):
of women I like, and I try to surround myself
and also like where I help.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If you need help? So that said a lot about you,
and of course the full daughter.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So I'm so excited to talk about what you do.
I think that's something that not a lot of people
know about. So can you tell everyone just a little
bit about what you do?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Absolutely. I'm self presentation presence coach. My business is called
Master Your Presence, and I work with amazing women who
are already confidence.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They are already.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Know, they feel the expertsons, they feel their founders creative,
but there's.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Something like small things that are missing.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So where this is where I step in to help
them polish their body, language, energy and the way they
show up so the world can see their internal confidence,
internal expertise, every since that they built when they are
there on public, whether on camera, on stage, everywhere in
(03:40):
the world, where your presence matters.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And you know what I love about the way you
do this because I remember we were at Modern Day
Wife and I was, we were going on stage and
I was and you just slightly help us, you slightly
with you know, such confidence, just kind of tweak my
little you know, pose or whatever I was doing, and
that shifted my energy right there, just that little thing.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, it's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
That's not about huge transformation, lives changed, No, it's like
subtle details that helps you to step into the next level.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's about how you hold.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Your lag, hands, shoulders, eye contact, everything.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Where did you learn this? A lot of crazy?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I don't know. It's all like subconscious, right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Well, but it's definitely learnable. It's a skilled can you learn.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, where did you learn it?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I feel that I've been always like this myself. I
was I've been on a stage since the age of four,
so I've been to dancing and dancing. Yeah, it's a
way of communication without saying word. And also I've been
in the corporate world consulting before our tech world, different
(04:56):
companies for more than ten ten years, so I been
to different boardroom stages, client meetings, workshops, trainings, like everything,
and what I noticed that Yeah, I always loved to
be like a a center of attention, but I never.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Like you know, I love that too, like you know, strive.
I was never loud, I would say, I would like
I was a shy kid.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
But at networking events, for example, it came to me
effortlessly when I met connections where when they presented at
clients meetings, while other people could have more experience, more knowledge,
but still to meet was like more naturally.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, So I feel like home, like, that's what I
love to do.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And I started noticing like, for example, like huge exact leaders,
they would shrink at the moment when they step into
the stage, or like you know when they speak at
zoom and you.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
See the screen and they like look like this is
the screen, like they just.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Don't know the way how to show up, or you know,
we were taking headshots at at one of the corporate
shops and I was also there in a lot and
I saw leaders taking headshots, so yeah, they're leaders, executives,
But the moment they stepped into cameras like they scared.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I was like, but I know what to do.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And then like, you know, you can only connect dots backwards.
So now I see that all those events circumstances shaped me,
shaped my experience.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And after I left corporate, I.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Went back to my passion, which is dancing. I started
teaching dancing and I realized, yes, women came to me
to learn dancing, but they walked away with something different.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh that's why I see you on those dancing videos.
I'm like, I want to do that you're like doing,
but I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What is it? It's high heels it's very very cool. Thanks.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
So that the feedback I received from women that they
felt more empowered, more confident, not only a dance studio.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So you're saying that women feel more powered if they're
doing a dance class.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why don't we do a dance class for the rest.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I mean? Seriously, sales is all about being confident. It's
all about being open, right, So one of the things
that we talk about is how to get the stylists
more confident.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, I think it goes with like even when you
talk about public speaking, like I run a lot of
Sam's company, right, and even when I public speak, I
get really nervous. So like, how do you like combat that?
I feel like that's something that you've been talking about.
So what are like three types that we could maybe use?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, you have completely rights. It's for everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
This big moment can be different for someone that's meeting
with a client, for someone speaking.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
On stage or podcast or even.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Interview, even online interview on the zoom. So when it
comes to how to do that, number one and the
only tip will be preparation.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yes, So what I do with it?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
What I teach my clients when we have events coming
up like you no soon, like not always, you have
a lot of time. I will break down everything for you,
like how you walk onto the stage, how you should
what the.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Chair look like. Is it this comfiture or.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Like a barstool or are you walking the stand? Do
you have a handhold mic or you have something.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Like that or headset? So when you are.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
On stage, you're not thinking about your gestures because we
already learn it, we already did it. Like you know
that if you're accounting, you do one to three. If
you show something, wow, that's a huge news. You do
respective gestures for a huge thing, right. Or when you
want to feel more warm approachable, you will live a
(08:46):
smile more.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You will tilt or lean like.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
You know, towards people, so it will create more worms.
It depends on what you want to project.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
So do you want to be more like authoritated like
you know, full b babe like, or you want to
be more friendly like yeah, and that's what I do
all of this when they speak on stage or podcast,
I'm like, oh, we're showing thanks to people. But that's
what I do.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
So preparation and attention h So you know, okay, I
want to project this vibe. I want people feel this
when they see me.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Intertay on my presence and we work on this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah, there is no magic, it's just practice.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That is so great. I love that because you know
what they our girls can practice going to appointments. Actually,
she does a lot of role playing in her meetings
where they practice talking to each other. For me, it
always came natural because I was just I gotta get
this done. I got to get back and pick her
up by three o'clock and I need to make three
(09:49):
sales today. That was in my head. So you know,
I'm a goal oriented person. But if you're a little
bit shy or you don't have the confidence. But that's
why I started this comempany at a lead home staging career.
I wanted women to feel like they could do anything
with their life. Especially when I started, people were like,
there's no way you're going to be successful. You don't
(10:11):
have your design license. I'm like, you better watch me.
And not only that, I'm going to show women how
they can do the same thing that I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So but anyway back to you, So what I love
about you is so I've done a lot of events
with you, and I always see you helping people backstage,
and I think you're really doing it because you're passionate.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You could be their clients.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And I know you've helped one of our very own founder, Megan.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Which was really exciting. Can you tell us a little
bit about that.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, absolutely, that's something in my sence that started like
a partnership. What's curnedly, you know, in the friendship, long
term relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I think it's important though to talk about how
it starts. So when you guys are doing networking events,
it's so important. I try and tell the girls all
the time, do networking events. It starts there and then
it becomes.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Yeah, something bigger, absolutely, and you will see the long
term impact that I am not going for like immediate gain.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm not interested in this.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I'm interested in long term relationship and connections.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And the same way it started with meganie Leif.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
She's co founder of Modern Day Wife and last year
she went for Missus International. So she just called me
because she remembered once I gave a workshop at one
of the Modern Day Wife's events, posing.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And how to be on stage, how to walk and hills. No,
that was the workshop and she like, oh ar now
is this girl?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Like she called me like I needed to prepare me
to be a pageant for Missus International twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I was like, yeah, sure, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So we were preparing for this specific moment right to
be on stage for Missus International, and she won.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, And now it's like it's been more than a
year right from the event. Still she's like, oh every time,
and she has a lot of events, like every two weeks, right,
and she's like every time I'm speaking, I'm going to
have a photoshoot. I remember about your tips, I remember
about my posture, I remember about my leg, about my toe,
about my hand.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So it's like, what an accomplishment. That's amazing. Yeah, it's
like a long term transform. It's not like no huge transformation.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
She was already like an hour nice and powerful and
beautiful woman.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
But we did like so small things.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I pointed, like, for example, when you still do this, Yeah,
immediate change and it's still it's still working.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
What has been your favorite story you've had with the client?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Favorite story?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I feel like everyone is so different because for someone
like for Megan, rite, it's more.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
For public appearance, right Tage.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yeah, I had someone who did it for her work,
and she's in a leadership and tech company and it's
mostly like an in corporate, closed setting. But the feedback
she received from others that she followed a little bit intimidating.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Intimidated.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, and really, but people when so human, persons are like, what,
you're actually a nice person.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Don't look the same on camera?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
And when we polished her look on camera presence, how
she approached speaking on camera on zoom basically right, the
change and impacts where was immediate? People are like, oh,
we don't know what changed, but you feel different.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, that's actually really important thing to talk about as well,
because we always talk about to the girls, it's always
when you leave the house, you need to look your
best because when you look your best, you feel your best,
and especially when you're going to see a client.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And I think that's that goes into there's a study
that shows woman who wear makeup daily make twenty percent
more money. Would you agree that beauty correlates.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
With how much money you can make?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well, it's definitely an interesting study. Yeah, And I feel
my perspective that it's not one percent about makeup, but
about attention you put them, love that you have, Like
if you have like full makeup glowy for a nightclub
and you go to work, it's a wrong message, right right.
(14:29):
But what I believe that if you're doing your makeup,
I can tell that you're prepared, your intentional for what
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're disciplined because you did.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Some time, right, so you're prepared to set aside this time.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Even money, because it costs things and it matters.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And to me, it feels like you put an effort
to show up like this, so it means something.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And probably that's why overall.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Those women who do makeup, they might be more disc
or just more put together in all.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Other aspects of their life.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Right, And what I think that for women, perception might
come for from our efforts, how we do or make up,
how shop, how we're styler ourself. But for men it
may come for a thing that they do not control,
like they're height, their features.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Like and also that study that throw.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Like I will not tell you a percent, just google it,
but like the majority of those CEO from top Fortune
five hundred are three inches higher than average American. Interesting,
so if the man is taller, most likely they will
become CEO.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
While for women, as you said, maybe it's our effort
that we do.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So this is all about business. So my intention for
this season is that we don't only talk about so
I've been since two thousand and eight empowering women to
be who they are. Right well, I think that it's
really important that we also talk about becoming into the
(16:07):
feminine at home with your husband, and this is an
important topic, especially for CEOs, especially for business women, women
that are, you know, empowered to be the best they
can be, but they got to remember, we all have
to remember we have to drop back into the feminine
and be the feminine that we.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Are supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I can't really.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's what I said in the beginning. More intentions.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
That's what I do with my clients, that we learn
how to be different. What creates this different wipe? Do
we want to be more feminine, sensial, sexual?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Do this? Like if you want to be more friendly
like girly girl, do that.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
If you want to be more like boss at your work,
peers with your clients, do that?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And it's not different versions you, it's the same you
to know how to maneuver it.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yes, that's a great I mean, you know we talk
about confidence and you know, presence and all that, but
sometimes when we go home, we forget to take the
boss out of there, and you know, our partner doesn't
want us.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
To be that boss.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Right, So a lot of women struggle when they get
home because they're like, you know, they're a CEO there
whatever they are there's but they're super corporate. And then
when they go home, the husband doesn't want them to
be that person. And so I think that is a
big thing that I want to get across this you
know season.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And what do you say about that? I would say
that fine.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
For yourself, what helps you to turn on the energy?
For example, for me, it can be high heels dancing
right maybe before you it gives me just a nice
candle set up or like nice evening routine with your hair,
with your face that will help to tap into those energies.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
But for me, yeah, and also.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think it's the tone, the way we speak. We're
supposed to you so used to speaking a certain way
at work. We have to remember there are equal right.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Absolutely, and to my story to my example, even though
I mentioned that I've been to dancing since early childhoods,
there was a break like I had few years when
I was not dancing.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I was more into gym sports routine.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And what I felt that I became like, you know,
more like this.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I didn't feel feminine in myself, so I was like, okay,
well something is wrong there. So I returned to dancing.
And this is where you get this soft line. The
fluidity is just softness, sensuality and everything, so you can
start noticing.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
What do you think about that call?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I think it's interesting. Yeah, I mean I work twenty
four seven.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And I know you do girls but dating now, but
now you're dating, and maybe if you cook it get
home and she's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And you could learn to cook a little more. Maybe yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Something that you like, Yeah, I think for me, like
I have a good face routine that night, or I
use like Allies of Skin, which I love their skincare, and.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
She's obsessed with product. Let's get something straight.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I love that kind of stuff. And then what else
do I do? I do meditation that helps calm my mind,
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Know, I mean, I don't do the Monday evening, come
to me with them.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, I will.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I loved I would. It's downtown. Yeah, I think that's
really cool.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I really I did a heels class one time, I
will say, and I talked to some of my friend
Brooke like does this And I felt so like Howard afterwards.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, you were so excited about the dance.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
But it's it's hard to get like into things sometimes
when you're working so much.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
And I felt just like so girly and like, Okay,
it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So if you guys are bored taking a dance class, actually,
I would really fun to have the reps to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And I went to ASSAUSSA class with one of our guests.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
That was so fun.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I was dying. They were like professionals. I was like,
oh my god. But I felt so proud of myself
and I felt great after.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Great reminder, it's fun more.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But that's so interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I think like if you could give us, like maybe
a couple of tips, like because I know, like, for example,
my reps are going into meetings sometimes I'll tell them
because I've learned like matching body energy or body language
is hopeful to close deals is there any tips you
can give them to try to give us one tip
feel like comfortable with their clients.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, you were talking about by language mirror.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, it can help, but they should do this tent
what each gesture would mean, because maybe if a mirror
like weak tissures might not like interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's great, that's great.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
What I well, again, I will sound probably repetitive, but
it all starts with the first impressions and the moment
you walk in into the room. It's about your eye
contact how you maintain it. So you like extend your
hand and like look down like you know, or you
(21:29):
look in the eyes and maintain like for two three
seconds with a warm smile like or even about your
hand handshake, like you know, is it like week week
or like?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I love that. That's great.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Is more like workshops because we're doing with you soon offline.

for your business and visibility, and now I want to

like you can see the most effect.

be in person? Correct.
Speaker 2 (22:42):

and I are speaking at the the HSA in London.
And last time we were exhausted and Nicole asked for
a duel and you're acting. We were exhausted and I
was standing and let me just tell you know, and
by the way, my body's ripped, so I had my
(23:04):
big jacket tied around my waist.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Everyone was probably dying.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
This one's sitting on the stool, barely even saying a word.
I'm like, people go, they're so excited they like what
we had to say.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
But this time we need to be more prepared with
that about your since you mentioned about your clothing, but
I always recommend it's like, you know, no do not
go for transfer something you cute, stylish. If you're not
like season speaker early, go for something you're comfortable.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I love that, I don't.

not break full great someone that you know.
Speaker 1 (23:42):

your energy connection with the audience, not to bolt.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You're like.
Speaker 2 (23:53):

staging and give us tips and tricks, and this has
been very exciting. If there's one last thing you of
advice for the women listening, what would it be?

Time when you walk, when you speak, don't be afraid
of the post.

It will help to other people to see you're as
confident as published as what you're doing. So next time
when you are invited to speak somewhere or to take
a seat, don't like a rush.
