In today's episode, Heather shares a powerful and counterintuitive truth about charisma. It is not rooted in self confidence, body language, or perfect delivery. It begins with your belief in the people in front of you.

Whether you are leading a team, persuading a jury, navigating a difficult conversation, or presenting on stage, your energy communicates what you truly believe. And people feel it.

Drawing on her experience as a trial attorney and leadership coach, Heather explains why setting a high goal and expressing authentic confidence that others can achieve it is one of the most transformational communication shifts you can make.
