Do you ever try to explain something in a meeting,
but it doesn’t come out as clearly as you want it to?

You over-explain.
You're not concise. 
Or you leave the meeting overthinking:

“I should have said that better.”

Most people assume they just need "more practice"
That’s rarely the problem.

It's actually about a lack of structure.
And how your brain responds to pressure. 

That's why I work with professionals who want 
to be seen as more clear, confident, and credible.

(especially in high-stakes situations)

So far, I’ve coached 330+ professionals with a 99% success rate. 

Many are managers, directors, executives, and founders. 
People in positions where clarity matters. 

Our work focuses on 3 things:

1.) Clear, concise speaking on the spot

2.) Confidence and composure under pressure

3.) Executive presence in important situations

Everything is customized and built around 
the real-life meetings, presentations, and 
conversations you'd like to speak better in. 

If crystal clear speaking would be helpful 
for you and your professional life,

Have you heard about the 7 
deadly sins of speaking? 💀

1. Gossiping
2. Judging
3. Negativity
4. Complaining
5. Excuses
6. Lying
7. Dogmatism

In the video, I added 7 silly 
(& less deadly) examples of each. 

They're all about big arms 😅

This is from Julien Treasure's famous TED talk: 
How to Speak so that People Want to Listen

Which deadly sin are you making?

And if you’re a perfect angel:

Which one do others do that annoys you the most?

If you do, you could gain:

— The ability to stay calm under pressure

Speak clearly and confidently under pressure in 90 days (guaranteed) / World Class Certified Speaking Coach / 3x Bestselling Author / TEDx Speaker / 330+ clients coached

Loud voices get attention.
But calm clarity creates real success.

Today, many professionals want to stand out. 

But they're going about it the wrong way. 

They speak quickly.
They give long answers. 
They don't allow space for silence. 

This urgency can get you attention, 

but it's the wrong kind of attention. 

And it often scrambles your thoughts and weakens your message.

The people who stay calm under pressure 
and speak clearly on the spot...

Are the ones who've learned to balance peace with power. 

What are they doing?

→ Staying composed
→ Controlling their pace 
→ Starting points with clarity
→ Finishing points with authority
→ Listening fully before responding

They don’t treat these as speaking 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴.

They treat them as speaking 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴.

And the people around them feel the difference.

Do you think you've learned to balance peace with power?

As a kid, I was shy, awkward, and introverted.

My favorite activities were:

1.) Climbing trees
2.) Reading books
3.) Playing piano

What do these things have in common?

‭→ I was by myself
‭→ I didn’t have to talk to anyone

Luckily, I grew up on a farm near a small town of 800 people.

Which made avoiding people a little bit easier.

But not speaking became difficult when I grew up. 

In my first professional job:

‭→ Small talk made me anxious.
‭→ I'd avoid answering the phone. 
‭→ I’d throw up before meetings.

Flash forward years later, and I gave a TEDx Talk.

About 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, of all things…

I felt calm leading up to the talk. 
And confident when I stepped on stage.

Much different than my younger self. 

This was possible for 3 reasons: 

1.) Speaking is a skill.
2.) Staying calm is a skill.
3.) Showing up with confidence is a skill.

I obsessed over communication for 10+ years
to learn the best ways to build these skills.

And now I’m blessed to be able 
to help others to do the same.

(But my programs aren't 10 years long, I promise)

Remember this: 

You're not "stuck" at any level.
No matter how high or low. 

You can always improve your skills and get better.

And I'm rooting for you.

Once I stopped making this communication mistake, 
everybody started listening to me more. 

What was it? 

Using complicated/fancy words. 

Here’s why:

Studies show people consider messages 
more honest and trustworthy when a person 
uses simple instead of complicated words. 

This means if you use simpler language:

There’s a greater chance people will believe you. 

And buy into what you're saying. 

It also takes less brain power for your listeners to understand you.

So you’re doing everyone a favour by 
making it easier to absorb your message. 

I give an example of complicated vs. simple in the video. 

If you think you should be using big words
and developing a complex vocabulary...

There are better ways to spend your time. 

You’d be better off using that time learning 
to explain things in a simple, clear way. 

Have you ever thought "I need a bigger vocabulary?"

One of my clients was a VP leading 200 people.
Sharp guy. Good at his job. 
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘀...

→ He’d get interrupted sometimes.
→ His ideas wouldn’t always land.

He told me:

“I know I’m great at what I do, but I'm not 
sure if I always come across that way.”

We worked together on structure, pacing, and brevity.

→ It was like putting his communication on a diet.
→ We trimmed the ramble fat and made him lean.

(His speaking now has visible abs)

1 month in, his COO told him:

“You’ve been coming across better in 
meetings lately. People are noticing.”

It’s not about saying more.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Because being great at what you do isn’t enough.

You have to be able to communicate it.

Do you agree?

Sometimes you have to look back

and remember how far you’ve come…

Even if it’s just passport photos. 😅 

-

P.S. How much do you look
like 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 passport photo?

How I removed filler words for good
(and how you can too)

3 Proven Techniques:

1.) Speak in shorter sentences. 

Long, run-on sentences 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

2.) Slow your speaking pace. 

Faster speech 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

3.) Proper breathing. 

At the end of your sentence, 
take a breath and inhale.
Then speak as you exhale. 

This forces you to pause more.

Anyone can remove their filler words. 
I've seen it with hundreds of clients over the years. 

That means you can too.

Which filler word do you use the most?

Day 1: Terrible workplace environment. 
Stressed, overwhelmed.
Unclear communication. 

Day 60: Landed new job. 
Optimistic, excited. 
Clear, structured communication. 

Some of the changes we've seen:

→ Enhanced clarity when explaining points
→ Stronger, more confident nonverbal presence 
→ Large reduction in filler words and softeners 
→ Less doubt and overthinking about what to say 
→ Long answers are now tight and concise 

There's still some work to be done, 

But this client has made a lot of progress. 

Enough progress to rock those tough 
interviews and land the job she wanted. 

Can you remember the last time you wanted 
a fresh start and were applying for jobs?

And then you finally got the role you were hoping for?

This 1 thing I learned makes me 
immediately sound more credible
any time I speak.

(Especially in high pressure situations)

It’s strategic pausing. Which is: 

1.) Pausing to gather your thoughts
2.) Pausing after saying something important. 

But I used to be TERRIBLE at this.

One day after giving an update in a team meeting,
my boss looked at me with a dead stare and said:

“Ty, slow down. You don’t get any prizes for finishing quickly.” 

I was incredibly embarrassed, but he was right. 

I needed to slow down and pause more. 

A well-timed pause does 3 things:

1.) Shows a high level of composure. 
2.) Gives your listeners time to absorb what you’re saying.
3.) Makes your words land with more weight. 

Silence is not weakness. It’s emphasis. 

It reminds me of a quote from Mozart: 

"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between."

Agree?

"How do you help me build my confidence?"
There's a reason this is on my FAQ page. 

Think of your brain like a computer. 

Over time, different 'programs' get installed in your brain…

that cause you to think, feel, and speak a certain way. 

So if you’re confident in certain situations
but less confident in others, there are programs 
in your brain that are causing this. 

(Same goes with overthinking, doubt, etc.)

Most people think they can fix this by:

1.) Getting a ton of tips and tricks 

2.) Just practicing a lot

Most coaches will teach you that way as well.

But the problem is:

It’s like trying to add new software to a computer 
when you haven’t removed the bugs. 

That's why we need to:

1.) Uninstall the programs that are holding you back.

2.) Install new ones that help you feel more confident. 

We do this using neuroscience-backed techniques to reprogram your subconscious mind. (that fun nerdy stuff)

Which is kind of like reprogramming 
your system so it runs smoothly.

This is what allows you to overcome 

the nerves, doubt, overthinking...

And feel more

confident, calm, and in control when you speak. 

Have you ever thought of your brain like a computer?

My client saw my post 
about her yesterday and
sent me a message...

When you work with awesome people, 
they always want to give 𝘺𝘰𝘶 a lot of credit. 

And you always want to give 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 a lot of credit.  

Especially when you work with 
kind, genuine humans (like this client)

It's pretty wholesome. 

Now when it comes to confidence, 

Even people like this in senior 
positions can still have challenges. 

I see it daily. 

So if you've ever thought: 

"I'm experienced. I should feel more confident." 

You are not alone.
And you can always get better. 

I'm rooting for you.

Many professionals ruin their points when speaking. 
Are you one of them?

If you ever catch yourself using 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
you might be in this group. 

(I definitely was)

It's not that you need more knowledge. 

You just need a particular set of skills. 

The skills of organizing your thoughts quickly
and then explaining them clearly and concisely.

Because if you can't get to the point quickly...

People will assume you have none.

They'll stop listening and zone out. 
(especially with attention spans these days 😅)

So if you want to sound more credible, trim the fat.

Make your messages lean. 

After all, why spend 3 minutes delivering a point 
that could have been made in 30 seconds?

If you're not super skilled at this 𝘺𝘦𝘵, it's all good. 

It's a skill that can be learned just like anything else. 

You got this.

"Why am I like this?"

I used to ask myself that all the time.

Whenever I: 

➙ Struggled to get my thoughts out 
➙ Didn't explain myself clearly 
➙ Responded poorly to a difficult person 
➙ Overreacted under pressure 

I'd get really down on myself. 

Thankfully, I eventually learned something important: 

These weren't personality traits. 
They were skills I could get better at. 

That's why I spent over a decade obsessing over: 

1.) How to organize my thoughts 
2.) How to explain them clearly and concisely 
3.) How to stay calm in difficult moments 

And how to have less of those: 

➙ "Why did I say it like that?
➙ "Why did I respond that way?
➙ "I should have said that better" 

type of moments. 

It added a level of calm, clarity, and confidence
that makes it easier to handle tough moments 
(and tough people)

Which makes daily life feel smoother and more peaceful. 

It's not perfect, but it feels a LOT better than before. 

Have you ever had thoughts like this?

"It feels like I have 10 chrome tabs open in my brain
and when I talk, I don't know which one to use" 

Heard this from a Director on a strategy session yesterday. 

She seemed smart and knew her stuff. 

But there were "too many thoughts" 
running through her mind at once.

Which makes it tough for her to organize 
them and deliver a clear, concise point. 

(Especially with senior leaders or larger groups)

Now has this ever happened to you?

→ You have a bunch of thoughts 
→ You start saying something
→ You realize you're not being clear 
→ You get flustered from noticing 
→ You keep talking to try to make it clear 

Why does this happen?

Because you've never learned how to properly 
organize those thoughts under pressure. 

Then explain them in a way that's 
clear and easy to understand. 

Ultimately, you just haven't learned the skill of “choosing one tab.”

Can you relate to this at all?

Friday energy unlocked when rhythm rules and everyone becomes part of the moment.
#FridayGrooveBreak

Confidence is not built on f*cking affirmations.
It’s built on evidence you can’t fake.

You don’t tell yourself you can handle pressure.
You prove it,
day after day, year after year.

Sports don’t let you lie.
You know when you stayed late.
You know when you showed up early.
You know when you gave everything in training.

Every rep is a receipt.
Every sacrifice is proof.

That’s why trust in yourself is not a pep talk.
It’s a track record.
And you earn it every single day.

If your life was a movie…
What would the audience be screaming at the screen?

It’s f*cking obvious.
Leave the job.
Leave the room.
Make the call.
Have the conversation.

You already know the answer.
You’re just scared of the commitment.
Scared of the fallout.
Scared of the change.

But here’s the truth:

The plot does not move until you act.
And no one claps for the character who stays stuck.

Fake it till you make it? 
Bullsh*t. 

Confidence can not be faked. It does not need convincing. 

So you can shout all your affirmations. 
You can hype yourself up. 
You can repeat the same lines until you believe them. 

But confidence does not come from words. 
It comes from evidence. 

From giving the world proof you are who you claim to be. 
From doing the work when you’re tired, unmotivated, and over it. 

That’s the part people avoid. 
That’s the part that actually builds you. 

Confidence is not built in the mirror. 
It’s built in the moments you follow through.

No better feeling than Friday, when the week fades and the weekend rhythm takes over.
#FridayGrooveBreak

What if it’s not hesitation…
But fear quietly runs every trade you make?

Blocks form in silence.
They build on self-doubt.
They grow when pressure meets uncertainty.

At first, they feel protective.
Then execution drifts.
Soon, performance pays the price.

Motivation won’t fix that. 
Structure will.

Name the pattern.
Interrupt the script.
Reduce the choice.
Execute on the rule. 

If your rules don’t run your trades,
your emotions will.

Do you trust your confidence…
or your training?

We talk a lot about high standards, strong teams, and better outcomes.
But none of that holds if the mind behind it is overwhelmed, scattered, or running on fumes.

Thanks to Mamie Kanfer Stewart for inviting me into this conversation on The Modern Manager.
Together we explored what it really takes to build a high‑performing team, the link between mental mastery and leadership reliability, and how high support transforms high expectations from pressure into possibility.

This is not about being your “best self.”
It’s about becoming the kind of leader others can depend on.

👉 Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/e8fG36PJ

Do leaders gain respect through control, or through resilience under fire?

Thanks to John Gafford for inviting me onto Escaping the Drift.

We talked about the emotion that outranks them all, regret, and how unprocessed experiences follow us until we finally face them.

We dug into identity, pressure, and the moment everything collapses enough for you to rebuild it honestly.

👉 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dHSAhear

The chart did not beat you.
Your nervous system did.

FOMO is not conviction.
It’s regret disguised as urgency.
Loss aversion is not discipline.
It’s fear disguised as patience.

The edge is structure.
Write the rule.
Remove the choice.
Train the response.

If this hits, read the full breakdown on how to diagnose and overcome trading psychology challenges here: https://lnkd.in/d2jGY2Ej

It’s not the weight of success that bends us.

We chase resilience, routines, and hacks.
But the real danger is division, when achievement no longer quiets what we carry inside.

Thanks to Markus Neukom for inviting me into this fireside conversation on Remembering the Forgotten. Together we explored stories of trading floors, burnout, and the turning points that forced me to rebuild. We dug into why coherence matters more than calmness, why regret outranks fear, and how stillness becomes footing when consequences arrive.

This is not about becoming more resilient.
It’s about becoming less divided.

Ep 47  Coherence Under Consequence  A Conversation with Evan Marks

It’s not tiredness.
It’s cognitive shutdown.

And it’s costing you more than you think.

Mental fatigue hides in silence.
It builds through repetition.
It grows when recovery is ignored.

At first, it feels harmless.
Soon, it clouds decisions.
And eventually, it drains control.

Ignore recovery, and fatigue won’t just steal clarity.
It will steal control.
And control is the only performance you truly own.

Mental fatigue is not weakness. It’s science. Read the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/dzgDvjCQ

I came to socials 2 years ago with one goal: true impact at scale. 

This time, I’m addressing "Behavioral Drift" that dangerous gap where the environment changes and your execution subtly follows suit. 

Most traders think they have a strategy problem, but they actually have an output problem when the stakes peak.

I’m showing you how to maintain Execution Integrity regardless of the noise or the numbers.

If you’re tired of being another uncontrolled variable in your system, stay tuned. This one is for you.

Saw this message on LinkedIn today, and it made me stop for a minute.

Impact does not always come in a direct form.
Sometimes it shows up quietly.
But it still shapes how you think, how you lead, and how you show up at work.

I thought about the women who helped build me.

My mom.
She raised three boys and somehow made sure we stayed focused on both school and sports.
That foundation mattered more than I understood at the time.

My wife.
She stood by me through every big decision.
The late nights on Wall Street.
The uncertainty.
Even the moment I took a 99% pay cut to change careers and bet on a different path.

My daughters.
They give me fuel.
They keep me going.
And they keep me humble too.

My coach.
She helped guide me through a career transition that changed my life.

My CMO.
She has been by my side while building M1 and helping bring the vision to life.

The truth is, I did not get here alone.

A lot of the man I am today, and the way I show up professionally, has been shaped by the women around me.

Happy Women’s Day to all the incredible women out there.

Like Beyoncé said, who run the world?

graphical user interface, text, application

If you know me, you know I’m always striving for more. 

This time, I’m starting something new that moves past the 'mindset' fluff and into the actual science of high-stakes execution.
