Get clients, investments and influence by speaking confidently | Public Speaking Coach for entrepreneurs and execs | ex-Fortune 50 | My featured section has a gift for you.

You know who gets the most clients and promotions?

The person who can speak the best.

You might be an expert in your domain.
But if you don't speak with confidence, no one will trust you.

Your career and business will suffer because you struggle to speak powerfully.

Your next client will go to the person who presents better than you.
Your next promotion will go to the person who communicates better than you.
Your investor might pass because they are not convinced of your value and worth.

You’ll feel weak and powerless.

It’s crazy because you have a lot to share with the world.

But your speaking skills let you down.

Here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be like that.

Now imagine:
You ace sales calls and win dream projects because you speak with confidence.
You get that promotion because you present with clarity in the boardroom.
You build a powerful brand because the world listens when you speak.

I can help you get there.

I’ve helped 500+ entrepreneurs and execs become confident and effective speakers.

• Entrepreneurs like Wes, who had stage fright and went blank when he was in the spotlight.

• VPs like Sarah, whose voice shook every time she presented in the boardroom. But became a confident speaker working with me and secured 2 leads worth $350,000 for her company.

• LinkedIn creators like Jasmin Alić, Ruben Hassid, Lara Acosta, Sophie Miller, Nigel Thomas, Nicholas Boucher, and Mando Sallavanti III who now speak on big stages with credibility, authority, and influence.

I can help you become a confident, powerful speaker too.

Are you ready to stop missing opportunities and start attracting them?

Public Speaking Coach for stage and camera

I coach entrepreneurs and execs on how to speak on camera with maximum impact, create a powerful brand and grow professionally.

June 2022: I got accepted to speak at TEDx.

But it made me feel like an imposter.

I kept thinking:

“They’ve made a mistake.”
“I don’t belong on that stage.”
”What the heck did I get myself into?”

But I said yes anyway.
Now that talk has opened doors I couldn’t have dreamed of.

→ Building a coaching business to multiple 6-figures
→ Coaching CEOs to speak to 10,000+ people
→ Leading a Mastermind event in London

But none of that would’ve happened if I had said no.

This year can pass quietly.

Or it can be the year you act big even if you’re scared.

It’s your decision.

PS - Have you ever felt like an imposter stepping into something bigger? yes/no?

Women are judged before they even speak.

(How I deal with this as a brown woman)

Men are (usually) heard.
Women are (usually) evaluated.

Too much makeup.
Too little makeup.
Too covered up.
Too revealing.
Too much.

So advice like
“Just be confident”
falls flat.

Here’s what actually helps.

Don’t try to be liked.
Aim to be clear.

Say your point early.
State it once.
Then pause.

No more over-explaining.
No more “softening” your tone.
Just calmness, conciseness, clarity.  

And then watch all the judgement fall away.

PS ever felt judged no matter what your gender is?

If people lose respect for you,

it’s almost impossible to gain it back.

Check if you’re doing any of these things
(they damage your reputation):

1. Making everything about yourself.

This is a huge turn off.
It shows people you don’t care as much about them.

→ Make people feel seen by including them.

2. Being rude to waiters, assistants, staff.

No-brainer, but when you’re in a bad mood -
Taking it out on others shows you’re inconsiderate.

→ “Please” and “thank you” go a long, long way.

3. Complaining about your life.

I’ve been guilty of this.
But it shows people you’re a negative person.

→ Add one positive thing for every complain.

I show you 7 more things in the cheatsheet.

When you build a strong, reliable reputation,
You’re future-proofing your business and career.

PS which one have you seen people do the most?

I’ve spoken on stages for 17 years (including TEDx).

Here’s the most powerful trick I’ve learned:

How to pause.

This video shows you the magical power of the pause.

(And I’ve created this Power Pause guide to show you exactly when to pause: https://lnkd.in/d7Y2UtTB)

Pause to become more powerful in the room.

P.S. Do you pause intentionally?

The world's top 1% leaders don't speak to "inform".

They speak to "connect". This is how:

When you speak to just "inform":

- You’re on auto-pilot.
- You don’t sound engaging.
- People tune out, your message is lost.

In this video I show you how to speak to connect.

So you keep the audience hooked till the last word.

Follow me Nausheen I. Chen to never miss a speaking tip.

P.S. Where will you speak next?

Stop using exploitative language in job ads!

“Going the extra mile", "working non-typical hours":

These are thinly veiled words to give the company an excuse to exploit people.

- When it says: “go the extra mile”
It actually means: “work beyond your scope”.

- When it says: “work non-typical hours”
It actually means: “work overtime without complains”.

I’m coaching a client to speak well in interviews -
And this language immediately stood out.

Language reflects culture.

When the job ad sounds exploitative,
That’s what the actual job will be too.

If you want to fix your culture, prevent toxicity and retain people for longer -

Use words that respect employees, not exploit them.

PS - ever come across job ads like these?

I created LinkedIn’s first course on AI and public speaking.

But here’s where you should not use AI:

Look, I love AI.

But this MIT study shows that relying on AI:

→ Decreases your brain connectivity.
→ Weakens your memory.
→ Makes you less creative.

This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t use AI.

But use it to enhance your creativity.

Not outsource it.

Here’s my take as a public speaking coach:

→ Always come up with the key ideas yourself.
→ Use AI to critique and build on your ideas.
→ AI becomes your co-creator, not your ghostwriter.

You bring the personality, ideas, stories.

AI enhances and packages it.

Win-win.

P.S. Do you use AI for presentations? Yes/no?

Visiting Lecturer

Building purposeful web3 class-destroying content strategies | Actual Peabody-Award Winner

Why even bother hiring a new content guy if you're just getting the exact same thing as literally anyone else?

I offer creative new approaches to marketing, humor, creativity, experimental stuff. Talk to me if that interests you.

I won a Peabody Award in 2013, I made my company $8 Million last year, and I have 8 HubSpot Certifications… those things aren’t directly connected, but that’s all me.

What I can do for you

Externally: I build and market brands for startups that generate millions of dollars through creative marketing, smart media buying, intense SEO, and hyper-intelligent email marketing.

Internally: I build collaborative, results-driven teams executing data-driven strategies that actually try different things, and actually grow.

What I don’t do

I don’t do mega corporate, milquetoast, stare-at-slow-moving-charts marketing because it’s all been done to death already.


➡️ Peabody Award Winner
➡️ Featured on CNN and VOA (they got my name wrong)
➡️ Conan (my work, not me personally) 
➡️ SaaS, Web3, EdTech.
➡️ Investor
➡️ ADHD-having Father of 2 *checks notes* humans.

Close Look:

I can market the ever-living $#!t out of a product/service that I believe in. 

How? By communicating with our audience. Understanding their pain points and speaking directly to them. 

I do this by getting the right strategy, for the right audience, at the right time and everything else falls into place.
