Speakership in the Time of Change
How do you find the right words when you’re face-to-face with the unexpected? You’ve built your career on years of communication, and most of the time, it works. But what about the moment when something slips? Your confidence buckles before the big meeting. The agenda becomes useless after a client’s new revelation. Your team isn’t showing up quite the way you know they can. And now your whole industry is watching the rug beneath its feet, feeling the tug. Speakership in the Time of Change is a communication podcast for established leaders navigating change. Professionals who are responsible for both showing up as their best selves to create a vision as well as developing the team around them to hold the room in their own high-stakes moments that test them. Built on frameworks from neuroscience and patterns drawn from 10,000+ hours of working with high-knowledge professionals, Margaret Watts Romney brings this work out from behind the curtain of training rooms and private coaching calls and into every episode. For you. Follow Speakership in the Time of Change and join the leaders who are done leaving their most important moments to chance.

But what if there's a structure underneath every moment o...
What if the calm you're looking for in a high-stakes moment isn't about preparing harder, but about stepping back further?
Most of us think that the way through fear is to control every variable: memorize the pitch word for word, run the numbers one more time, rehearse the conversation until it's airtight. So when nerves show up anyway, in front of the board, the sharks, or your own team, it feels like proof you didn't prepare enoug...
What if the communication skill that makes things happen isn't the one you practice on a stage?
Here's the problem: most of us think our speaking only counts when we're behind a podium, pitching to investors, or standing on a red dot under a spotlight. So if we're not "speakers" in that sense, we assume we don't need to evolve how we communicate at all.
But that gap is where people stall. It’s in the meetings where you give har...
