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.

I was adopted right out of the delivery room.

But this surprised me when I met my biological family:

I met my entire biological family 2 years ago.

(Yes that’s them in the picture).

These 5 things took me by surprise.
(and number 5 was the weirdest one).

1. We had the same feet.

It was the weirdest thing to see.
I was used to seeing feet very different from mine.
Didn’t realize family could have similar feet!

2. Things got awkward (sometimes).

Yes we had a lot to catch up on.
But we didn’t grow up together.
So at times, we had no shared history.

3. I had so much love for my nephews and nieces.

I grew up as an only child.
But now I was “introduced” to nephews and nieces.
I instantly loved them. Even though we’d just met.

4. We had to work on building connection.

Just because we were related by “blood”:
It didn’t mean there would be instant rapport.
We had to build our relationships from scratch.

5. My biological father also loves public speaking.

He loves getting up on stages.
Just. Like. Me.
But I've never lived with him.
Never been “inspired” by his speaking.

I’m not saying “public speaking” runs in the blood.
But it’s something I can’t explain.

PS Ever met anyone else who’s adopted? yes/no?

When you ask someone “Where are you from?” 

What they hear is: “You don’t look like you belong”. 

This makes immigrants feel out of place. 
(Even if you have the best of intentions). 

So instead of: 
“Where are you from?” 
Ask: 
“Where did you grow up?” 

One questions belonging. 
The other shows curiosity. 

Instead of: 
“Your English is so good!” 
Say: 
“You explain things very clearly” 

One implies surprise. 
The other shows respect. 

I made an entire cheatsheet on this. 
(Probably the first ever of its kind on LinkedIn!) 

When you make people feel welcome, 
You rise above differences in skin color or accents. 

You relate to people on a human level. 

And that makes you powerful and unforgettable. 

PS - anything in the cheatsheet surprising for you? 

PPS - and no, asking “But where are you REALLY from?” is worse!

President Obama once froze on stage. 

I know because I asked his speechwriter Terry Szuplat. 

This is what happened: 

Young Obama had delivered speeches before. 

So for his next speech, he thought “no big deal”. 
He didn’t prepare, didn’t practice. 

But this time - he was speaking to a bigger audience. 
Higher stakes. 

Midway through, he lost his train of thought. 

And froze. 

It wasn’t nerves. 
It wasn’t fear. 

It was overconfidence. 

Here’s the real lesson: 

When the stakes are high, you feel out of your depth. 

Just “confidence” won’t save you. 
Preparation will. 

PS follow Terry for amazing stories on public speaking from the White House.

Stop procrastinating on your public speaking goals.

(This is how to tell your story in 2026):

Every day, people tell me:

“Nausheen, I want to speak on stage but…”

→ “I’m not ready”
→ “I don’t feel confident”
→ “I don’t want to disappoint”

When I got my first TEDx acceptance-
I didn’t feel ready either.

But I didn’t let that stop me.

And it helped me launch my entire business.

You can do 3 simple things to get yourself ready:

(Save this so you can remind yourself)

1. Start with low-stakes opportunities:

→ Open mic storytelling events.
→ Share a project that you worked on publicly.
→ Sign up for a career talk at your alma mater.

2. Create a “positive feedback loop”:

→ Every time you do a talk, note what went well.
→ Use that as proof for yourself that you can do more.

3. Build a “big idea” that you stand for:

→ “Systematize” your expertise to prove your value.

Every day that you procrastinate,
Your competition wins.

Don’t wait to feel ready.
Don’t wait to say yes.

Your future self will thank you.

PS - What do you want to speak about on stage?

Stop saying these 5 things to yourself in 2026.

(You’re destroying your confidence)

“I don’t want to brag” → “I’m proud of what I’ve done”
“I made a mistake, I’m dumb” → “I’ll learn from this”
“I don’t know how to sell” → “I know how to help”
“I can’t do this” → “I can experiment with this”
“I’m going to fail” → “I’m going to try this”

We are all stories that we tell ourselves.

If your story doesn’t serve you, change it.

When you change the way you speak to yourself:
You change the way you speak to the world.

→ Save this post so you can remind yourself of this.

P.S. Ever caught yourself saying any of those things?

Your ideal clients don’t know your true worth. 

(That gap is costing you revenue). 

You’re already great at what you do. 
But opportunities don’t reflect that. 

You’re chasing leads. 
Your best clients hesitate. 
Your work isn’t recognized. 

That’s not an expertise problem. 

It’s a communication problem. 

When you speak about your work, you lack impact. 

So I’m hosting a 2-day mastermind in London 
For coaches and entrepreneurs who are experts - 
but under-recognized. 

We’ll work on: 

- Turning your expertise into authority. 
- Owning any stage or room you walk into. 
- How to speak with impact, power and credibility. 

I’m co-hosting this with my own coaches: 
The team who grew my Instagram from 2k to 350k+ (Alessio Bertozzi and Bryan Fischer) 

👉 Join us: https://lnkd.in/dC2Q9wjM 

This isn’t a random event. 
It’s an investment in being taken seriously.

What’s fascinating is how deeply some people react to protein conversations online.

Accounts like Maa Ji  are popping up under multiple posts, questioning protein and supplements, and even provoking founders like Diipa Khosla & Sameer Maheshwari  to respond.

It’s less about science and more about culture, habits, and generational perspectives, made visible in LinkedIn comment sections.

Curious if anyone else is seeing this unfold.

₹500 used to last me an entire month in college.

Breakfast, snacks, chai, photocopy costs, everything.

I would mentally calculate before spending on anything.
₹20 for lunch meant no evening snack.
₹10 extra on photocopies meant walking instead of taking the bus.

Every rupee had a purpose.

Last week, I spent ₹480 on a single coffee meeting.
Didn't think twice. Didn't even check the bill properly.

The money didn't change. My relationship with it did.

Back then, ₹500 represented careful decisions, trade-offs, and discipline.
Today, the same amount disappears without me even noticing.

It's not about earning more. It's about valuing less.

Somewhere between struggling to manage ₹500 and casually spending it, I lost the weight money used to carry.

Maybe that's what growing up does. It gives you more but makes you feel less.

When did money stop feeling valuable to you?

I got rejected from NMIMS.
And a 95 percentile in CAT that got me no other admit.

At the time, it felt like I was late.

Turns out, I was just early for a different path.

If you’re dealing with a rejection right now, does it feel like a stop or a redirection?

Not late. Just on a different timeline.

I couldn't walk properly after a conference.

6 months ago, I represented my organization at an industry event. 
By evening, my knees were done. 

The pain wasn't new, it had been showing up during lower body workouts for a while.

I did what most of us do. 
Rest. Ice. Balm. Painkillers. Knee sleeves.

Temporary relief. Every single time.

My coach finally said, "Go see a sports physio."

The diagnosis surprised me. My knees were fine.

The problem? 
My biomechanics were off. I was loading my joints instead of engaging my glutes and core.

Most joint pain isn't about the joint itself. It's about something else in the chain that's not doing its job.

And the solution isn't rest. 
It's MOVEMENT.

We're conditioned to think pain means stop. 
But often, pain means fix the way you move.

I started working on my movement patterns. 
The pain reduced. 
The workouts improved.

If you've been dealing with recurring joint pain, ask yourself: are you treating the symptom or finding the cause?

If this helped even one person avoid months of unnecessary pain, that's enough for me.

LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating

Last week, I was in a conversation when someone on my team casually mentioned she practices numerology.

I nodded. Didn’t think much of it.

A few minutes later, she asked if she could try something. 

She asked me for birthdates of a few people close to me and started describing them.

That’s when I stopped her.

Not because it felt off. But because a lot of what she was saying was uncomfortably accurate.

If this had come from an Instagram reel or a YouTube video, I would’ve brushed it off. 

But this was someone I work with. 
Someone I know. Someone I trust.

I still don’t know what I believe about it. 
I haven’t decided where I land. 

I just noticed myself paying more attention than I expected.

Have you ever written something off, only to have it come back in a way that made you pause?
