Are you unknowingly sabotaging your executive presence by "waffling," apologizing for your ideas, or using weak language?

In Part 2 of this live coaching session, you will hear exactly how high-potential leaders "leak" their power—and how to stop it immediately.

We move from the mindset work of last week to the execution. You will hear Michael coach "Penny" on how to tighten her communication and project unwavering executive presence, even though she had zero management experience for the role she was chasing.

In this episode, you will learn:

-The "Waffle" Cure: How to stop rambling when you are nervous and use silence as a power move.

-Verbal Power Leaks: The three words ("Just," "Might," "Sorry") that kill your authority instantly—and what to say instead.

-The "Experience Pivot": How to answer the "You don't have management experience" question without apologizing or lying.

-The Outcome: The results are in. Did Penny get the job? (Spoiler: Stick around to the very end).

The Challenge Audit your vocabulary for "Power Leaks" this week. Stop saying "I just have a small idea" or "This might be a stupid question." State your idea directly. Speak with the resilience to get shot down; you don't need to preface your value. Just deliver it.
