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.

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.

Your body language can break your confidence.

Here’s how to fix it:

The way you stand.
The way you move your hands.
And even the way you make eye contact.

It can make or break your message.

Here's how you can master your body language:

→ On camera:

Make eye contact with the camera.
Use gestures intentionally for emphasis.
Frame yourself at eye-level to convey confidence.

→ In person or on stage:

Keep your feet shoulder-width apart to project stability.
Move purposefully to keep your audience engaged.
Use open gestures to convey your authority.

Remember,
Your body speaks louder than your words.

Master body language to become unforgettable.

They say “reach is down on LinkedIn”.

But one video got me 44,589 impressions last week.

This is not a fluke.

It’s because:

→ I write scripts with super actionable hooks.
→ Video recording system in my studio ready to go.
→ I know how to show up on camera with confidence.

But more than all of that -
Creating real videos makes you instantly stand out.

The best part?

My videos have not just gotten impressions, they’ve:

→ Gotten me paid to do workshops all over Europe.
→ Landed me invites to teach MBA programs.
→ Led to clients like NASA working with me.

Real videos make you more human.

Create videos to stand out vs AI-generated posts.
You'll be instantly recognized and remembered.

PS what’s stopping you from doing more videos?

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?

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?

The weirdest way to make someone feel important:

(and no, it’s not flattery)

Tilt your head when you listen to them.

This is so weird - but it totally works.

When you tilt your head as someone’s talking:

- You show interest in them.
- They register this quickly as it’s visual.
- They feel like you're considering their point of view.

When you make people feel seen and heard,
You win their hearts and minds.

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?

How I create world-class speakers:

(applies to mastering anything)

I didn’t wake up confident.

I built it.

Over 17 years on stages, on camera, in boardrooms.

I used to speak too fast.
Had too many filler words.
Got called out on my wild hand gestures.

Then I realized something.

The problem isn’t fear.

It’s losing access to your intelligence
right when it matters most.

So I studied it.
Tested it.
Broke it down.

Here’s what actually creates a Top 1% communicator:

1. Change the story
If you think “I’m bad at speaking”
your body will make it true.

2. Build self-trust first
Confidence comes from trusting your message.

3. Learn the right tools
Understand how to master your voice.
It’s the most powerful tool that you have.

4. Train with feedback
If you practice without feedback it builds bad habits.
Practice + feedback builds mastery.

5. Learn to improvise
Improvising is not “winging it”.
It’s training your brain to respond on demand.

It took me 17 years to learn this.

But I created The Confidence Accelerator
because this shouldn’t take 17 years.

I’ve now coached 500+ leaders from Google to NASA.

Yasir Waheed landed his dream job.
Jeremiah Hammon, PMP got speaking opportunities.
Jana Hargash launched her new offer in a webinar.

World-class speakers aren’t born.
They’re trained.

PS What do you want to speak about?

Your body speaks before your mouth does.

(Don’t fall for these 6 body language mistakes)

Non-verbal communication tells a story about you:

- Are you confident?
- Are you likeable?
- Are you trustworthy?

Take charge of the narrative.

Check out the video where I show you the 6 most common body language mistakes.

Because when you can talk without speaking,

You're already ahead of the game.

P.S. Is there a mistake here that you’ve seen? Yes/no?

I’m Nausheen. I have purple hair and I coach CEOs.

This is why purple hair is my “unfair advantage”:

For most of my career, I tried to look the part.

Corporate manager.
Filmmaker.
Agency director.

Professional. Safe. The same as everyone else.

Then I started coaching founders to find their voice.
And realized something.

I wasn’t fully using mine.

So the purple hair became a reminder of three things:

1. Don’t be invisible.

My clients are brilliant founders, coaches, experts.

But they shy away from the spotlight.
They hide behind their keyboards.
And someone else gets their clients.

Visibility is an entrepreneur’s superpower.

2. Live up to the promise.

The purple hair gets my foot in the door.

It stops the scroll.

But being a credible expert means:
Being able to consistently deliver.

I never forget that.

3. Your difference is your leverage.

When I started coaching leaders, I worried:
“Will CEOs take me seriously?”

But the opposite happened.

The purple hair became a signal.

“Nausheen doesn’t teach generic leadership advice.”
“She helps me stand out in any room.”

So yes.

I’m Nausheen.
I stand out because of my purple hair.

And I coach CEOs to stand out without dyeing theirs.

PS - what’s your version of “purple hair”?

My extern Nasim made me cry yesterday when she said:

“NOW I know what they mean when they say
You never forget the preceptor who 
Not only teaches you clinical skills,
But gives you confidence to 
Truly BELIEVE in yourself.”

A few weeks into her rotation with me,

She stopped questioning IF she was right  
And started explaining WHY she was right! 👏  
That was when she began transforming

From a student…to a doctor who trusts herself! 🦋

Special thanks to those at National Vision Inc.   
Who helped to make this rotation a success!

🎉 And let’s give CONGRATS to Nasim 🎉  
For learning to truly believe in herself! 🙌 

Maybe one day, she’ll help someone 

Grow their confidence too! 🌺 

What gives you confidence when you have doubts? 
I stare at my cat and remember that SHE believes in me, so I should too. 🐱
