Welcome, I appreciate you being here. Quick question - can you relate to any of these?

→ You don't always explain your points clearly and concisely.
→ You sometimes feel nervous when speaking or presenting to groups.
→ You don't feel as confident in difficult situations (or around certain people).
→ You find it hard to organize and articulate your thoughts on the spot. 

If so, I totally get it. 

Even the lifetime overachievers and high performers feel this way sometimes. 

But what if you could make these 3 changes?

1) Learn to speak with unshakeable confidence
2) Master charisma to captivate any audience
3) Learn to organize and articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely 

(Especially on the spot or in high pressure situations)

If you do, you could gain:

— The ability to stay calm under pressure
— The power to own the room when speaking
— Increased respect from everyone you meet 
— A strong reputation in your company and industry 
— Open doors to new career/business opportunities

Now you might be thinking, 

"This all SOUNDS good Ty, but how the heck do you actually get there?" 😅

Great question. That's where coaching comes in! 

There are 3 key parts of my coaching program: 

1.) Personalized 1-on-1 coaching sessions tailored to your needs
2.) Step-by-step weekly plans to ensure constant improvement
3.) Messaging access for additional support and questions throughout the week 

Everything in the program is backed by science (and has been done with hundreds of people)

Because I know everything works, there's a 100% money back guarantee.

And if you're curious, here's a bit more about me:

→ Former shy, awkward farm kid who was a TERRIBLE speaker and loved avoiding people 

→ Today, 330+ professionals coached 1-on-1 across tech, sales, healthcare, finance, and more

→ World-Class Certified Speaking Coach
(Trained by Craig Valentine, former #1 ranked public speaker in the world) 

→ 3x best-selling author on communication skills 

→ TEDx speaker (recent talk given April 2025)

With all that said...

If you're ready to elevate your speaking skills and advance your career...

DM me the word “COMMUNICATION” 

Happy to have a quick chat about how everything works.

I’ve been on LinkedIn for 10 years.	
And I’ve never properly introduced myself…

My name is Ty, a communication coach born on a small farm in Western Canada. 

This is my story so far:

[1999]: Attacked by a chicken on the farm 
[2011]: Moved from the farm to the city (unrelated to the chicken)

[2015]: Started obsessing over communication 
[2019]: Taught piano to underprivileged kids 
[2020]: Moved to Toronto (it was for love – cheesy I know)

[2021]: Started my coaching business 
[2022]: Became a bestselling author 
[2025]: Gave a TEDx talk

[2025]: Have eaten thousands of chicken breasts to make up for the original attack

And that's only a small part of it. 

I'm also here to help you become an exceptionally clear, confident speaker in 90 days. 

So if you want to rewire your brain to organize and articulate your thoughts better, 

Toss me a DM :)

P.S. What’s your favorite way to eat chicken?

Speak w clarity and confidence in 90 days (guaranteed) 🏆 World Class Certified Speaking Coach / 3x Bestselling Author / TEDx Speaker

No alternative text description for this image

If you’re talking to someone important, DON’T do this. 

Don’t put them ABOVE YOU in the conversation. 

What does this mean? 

- Being too agreeable 
- Being too eager to please 

Example: 

Earlier today I’m listening to a sales call from one of my clients.

When the prospect would say something about his problem, my client would say: 

“Oh yes, absolutely, lots of people deal with that, that’s a great point” 

(Watch the video to hear the tone I used - that’s what matters most)

The words aren’t terrible, but the energy comes across as:

“I want you to like me” 
“I want you to accept me”

And it seems like you’re putting the other person above you.

It’s better to have a more neutral energy. 

And this is true no matter how big or important the other person is.

If you want to have more success with important people, speak to them as if you’re on a level playing field.

After all, you’re both humans, right?

Do you agree with this frame?

Many people disagreed with JD Vance here.

He said: 

“Turkey doesn’t actually taste that good”

He claimed we really only make it because of tradition. 

An interesting take. 

For those who have turkey on Thanksgiving:

Do you agree?

-

Disclaimer: This is not a political comment. 

This is purely a turkey based discussion 🦃

These 6 simple shifts completely transformed my speaking.
(And my life)

If you do even 1 of these, people will respond to you differently. 

I guarantee it. 

1.) When explaining something, clearly start with your main idea. 
(You're tough to follow otherwise)

2.) Show genuine interest in whatever situation you're in. 
(It’s contagious and people appreciate it)

3.) Serve your audience instead of focusing on yourself.
(They care more about themselves than you)

4.) Free yourself from judgment. 
(Again, they care more about themselves than you)

5.) Plan your stories in advance. 
(They'll be better than 99% of impromptu stories you hear)

6.) Put in more reps. 
(Communication is a skill that needs intentional training)

Which shift will you try first?

And which one has made a difference in your life?

I’ve always HATED this feeling. 

Years ago in a meeting, my boss asks what my thoughts are about one of our processes.

And I have great ideas. 

But…

I ramble and don’t articulate them well. 

When I finish, he stares at me blankly for a couple of seconds, then asks: 

“Anyone else?”

No acknowledgment. 

Then one of my coworkers says something similar. 

But in a more clear, structured way. 

He also sounds more confident.

And everyone was like: 

“Oh, that’s such a great idea, I agree with him, blah blah blah”

Very annoying. 

I’m thinking “I work harder than this guy, and he’s not even very smart, this is nonsense” 

But it was my fault for being a poor communicator. 

And it was my responsibility to be better. 

I decided that communication would never be the thing to hold me back from reaching my potential.

And today as a coach, after working with over 300 1-on-1 clients, 

I never want that to be the thing that holds ANYONE back from reaching their potential. 

So if you’re into self-improvement and becoming the best version of yourself…

This might be worth exploring. 

After all, it’s a skill you use every day, right?

What do you think?

If you want to speak with confidence, you need to stop ‘sitting in the dark.’ 

It’s costing you more than you think.
  
One of my clients described this perfectly:
 
“Improving my speaking feels like sitting in a pitch-black room.
 
And each week, you’re turning up the dimmer switch.”
 
When we started, his “room” was completely dark.
 
He couldn’t see what was holding him back.
 
But every week we worked together, the light got brighter.
 
And he started spotting the things he’d never noticed before:

— The small body language cues that chipped away at his credibility
— The weak, throwaway words that softened his impact
— The facial expressions that gave away his emotions
— The lack of clarity when speaking on the spot
 
These weren’t constant issues.
 
They only appeared in high-pressure situations.
 
(The moments when credibility matters most)
 
But here’s the thing:
 
Once he saw them… he could change them.

Because you can’t fix what you can’t see, right?

So if your speaking still feels “off” at times…
 
You’re probably just sitting in the dark.
 
And my job as a coach is simple:
 
1.) Turn up that dimmer switch
2.) Show you exactly what’s holding you back
3.) Give you a step-by-step plan to fix it

-

If you need to “turn up the dimmer switch” on your speaking, I’m taking on a few new clients before the end of the year. 

Message me “clear” or book a call to learn more.

3 Silent Credibility Killers (that might be keeping you stuck)

One of my clients was stuck in the same Director role for years.

Smart guy. 
(Also a bit of an overthinker)

But he couldn’t figure out why he stopped progressing. 

After reviewing a few of his meetings, the issue was clear:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝟑 𝐂𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

𝟏.) 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲

His explanations weren’t sharp or concise enough.
(Articulation of thoughts)

𝟐.) 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

He was unconsciously sending signals of uncertainty at times. 
(Voice and body language)

𝟑.) 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

He’d sometimes assume understanding without confirming. 
(Listening and paraphrasing)

To the average person, these things probably didn't seem like a huge deal. 

Which is why he had a good job and was well-liked. 

But the difference between *good* and *excellent* is what can set you apart from others. 

And that's how you keep moving up. 

So here's what we did:

→ Clarity: Trained his brain to speak clearly under pressure
→ Confidence: Removed the uncertainty signals 
→ Confirmation: Learned to pause & paraphrase the right way

A couple months after working together, he scored a VP role at another company. 

(Keep in mind, the program itself is 3 months, so I won’t sugarcoat this and say he got a new job overnight)

But if you ever feel:

- Less clear than you should be
- Less confident when it matters
- Stuck at a certain level in your career/business 

The good news... is that it's all learnable.

And it's my favorite type of work. 

What do you think?

Can you relate to any of this?

If you’ve been trying to improve your communication, here’s why it still feels HARDER than it should.

You’re only trying to fix the parts you can see.

But the real problems are always the blind spots.

→ The shifts in tone you don’t hear.
→ The weak words you don’t notice.
→ The way nerves change your voice without you realizing.

Once you see these blind spots, your clarity and confidence jump fast.

That’s why I do free strategy sessions.

You get a clear breakdown of:

→ What’s actually holding you back
→ What to fix first for the biggest ROI
→ What your communication could look like in 90 days

No pressure. Just clarity.

And right now is the best time to do it.

Why?

Because for Cyber Monday, I’m doing 20% off all coaching programs.

(I would have posted this on Black Friday, but I was going HARD on the Christmas shopping. Lol)

Every program is customized to your level and budget.

For example, in the past week:

→ A new engineer signed up for a $1,000 program over 3 months.
→ An experienced CIO signed up for a $10,000 program over 3 months.

Different goals. Different intensity.
Both completely customized.

If you want this level of clarity, book a strategy session here:

https://lnkd.in/gTj3THS6

Remember: According to studies by Harvard, Stanford, and the Carnegie Foundation...

85% of a person's financial success is based on the level of their communication skills.

And if 300+ people have increased their income, confidence, and influence in my programs, why can't you?

-

Btw, the 20% off only applies to calls booked this week, so let's get cracking!

If you ever get locked out of your house, try this...

Speak to your lock calmly and clearly.

Because communication is key 🔑 

Corny jokes aside, 

Communication does open a lot of doors. 

A person who can articulate their ideas: 

- Confidently
- Clearly
- Concisely 

While being: 

- Likable 
- Trustworthy 
- Respected 

can naturally attract the right opportunities. 

And the right people. 

Personally and professionally. 

Do you agree?

-

P.S. 3 more days left to take advantage of 20% off coaching programs for Black Friday. 

Message me or book a call to learn more 🧠

If you don’t sound confident, people *don’t care* about what you’re saying.

That’s the cost of unclear communication.

I’ve seen smart people waste many hours: 

- Listening to podcasts 
- Watching YouTube videos 
- Going through online courses 

The problem is that consuming content doesn’t mean real-life improvement.

Here’s what actually works.

1.) Training your brain to clearly articulate your thoughts.

2.) Rewiring your confidence on a subconscious level

3.) Getting feedback on the exact situations you’re in. 

(The ones that actually help you make more money)

That’s what helped my client Mark turn things around quickly.

He was experienced, sharp, and highly capable, but in important conversations, he wasn’t as clear as he wanted.

And he wasn’t coming across as his best self.

So what did we do?

- Changed how he organized his ideas
- Elevated the way he delivered them
- Rewired the way his brain sees tough situations

And within 3 months, he was able to consistently speak with world-class levels of clarity and confidence. 

(No matter who was around)

Now if you’ve ever felt frustrated with something you said, remember this: 

Becoming an excellent communicator doesn’t have to take forever.

And you don’t need to figure it out alone.

If you had a system for improvement, you would be light years ahead of most people in 3 months. 

As always, I’m rooting for you.

“How long does it take to see results with your coaching?”

It’s a question that comes up sometimes. 

Here’s the truth: 

Most people start noticing a difference within 2 weeks.

But these are small changes. 

The bigger transformations happen over a few months.

Now in those first 2 weeks, what do people usually notice?

It depends what we’re working on, but it’s some combo of: 

- Finding it easier to organize and articulate your thoughts 
- Feeling a bit more confident and in control 
- Feeling a bit calmer and more composed
- Less filler words and weak words 

Now keep in mind, these aren’t MASSIVE changes immediately.

There’s no magic pill where you wake up in 2 weeks and suddenly become an elite communicator.

Trust me.

Because I’ve been trying to create one of those magic pills for years.

(If I figure it out, you’ll be the first to know)

With that said, you keep noticing changes as you improve each week.

And by the time the program ends, most people are shocked at how much progress they’ve made.

They’re also shocked at how differently people respond to them.

Why?

Not because we did anything crazy.

But because they’ve never had a proper, customized plan to follow before.

It’s like anything else.

How much money do you save without a proper budget or plan for your finances?

If you’re like me… probably not much.

But when you have a proven plan to follow, that’s when you start seeing real results.

Communication works the same way.

- 

If you’re curious about exploring this type of coaching, feel free to toss me a DM. 

(It’s getting cold in Toronto which means most of my time will be spent on my computer)

A lot of entrepreneurs think they’re “pretty good communicators." BUT...

That belief is exactly what’s holding them back.

Because if you think you sound "good enough"

You stop improving.

You stop reviewing your calls.
You stop asking for feedback.

And slowly, you start losing opportunities you never notice.

“Good enough” leaves money on the table. 

It doesn’t command rooms.
It doesn’t inspire people to follow your lead.

I’ve coached founders who built 7-figure businesses.

But they knew their thoughts weren't clear enough under pressure. 

And they still had those moments thinking: 

"I wish I had said that differently"

For many of you, the real leap isn’t from bad to good.

It’s from good to exceptional.

That’s where clarity, confidence, and composure can help you: 

- Close more deals 
- Get better opportunities 
- Be seen as an authority figure 

And ultimately scale your business.

Now a quick question to think about: 

How would you know if your communication skills have plateaued?

“You’re not making as much money as you want because you’re not saying the right words. 

Or saying them the right way.”

Hormozi is right. 

And because I’ve helped over 300 people with these exact things, I’ve seen a lot of mistakes.

Let’s talk about a MASSIVELY common mistake I see all the time.

(I’ve literally reviewed thousands of calls from myself and others, and this happens WAY more than it should)

The mistake:

Not giving enough space for your words to be absorbed. 

This comes across in 2 ways:

1.) Going too fast
2.) Not pausing the right way

If you do this, it’s harder for people to absorb and understand the significance of what you’re saying.

Which means you’re much less likely to get the results you want. 

If you give your words space…

It’s easier for people to understand the value of what you’re saying.

This shift alone could make you a LOT more money. 

And get you a LOT more buy-in on your ideas.

So watch your calls back, watch your meetings back, and make sure you’re not making this mistake.  

P.S. When was the last time you watched a recording of yourself speaking?

Do you like to talk? If you do, great. But… 

It doesn’t mean you’re GOOD at it. 

Many of my close friends are extroverts. 

But just because you’re an extrovert… 

It doesn’t mean you’re a good speaker. 

Extroverts may feel comfortable in social situations and enjoy talking more than introverts.

But effective communication is a lot more than being outgoing. 

For example:
 
- Explaining things clearly and concisely
- Telling interesting stories
- Staying calm under pressure 

These are important skills regardless of personality type. 

And if you’re an introvert, you can 100% build these skills. 

And become an exceptional communicator. 

(Even better than your extrovert friends, if you’d like)

Becoming a great speaker requires effort and training. 

Regardless of your personality. 

And whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or anywhere in between…

I’m rooting for you. 

You got this.

I once threw up before a meeting.

Okay, not once. 

Repeatedly.

I struggled a lot with speaking early in my career. 

It made me feel unworthy of success.

But the good news is that it forced me to learn a lot. 

5 lessons I learned from this period:

1.) Confidence is not a fixed thing.  
It’s something you can program into your brain. 

2.) Anxiety grows in avoidance. 
Trying to speak less doesn't solve anything. 

3.) Even 5 minutes of prep helps. 
Writing ideas out before a meeting will make you speak better. 

4.) No one wants you to sound smart. 
They just want you to be clear and simple to understand. 

5.) Time does not heal all things. 
Waiting for things to get better does not work. 

Thankfully, I'm now comfortable speaking in all different types of situations. 

Do I like to do it? 

Well, let's just say I still have to fight the introvert urge to stay home all the time. Haha 

But anything is more enjoyable when you know what you're doing. 

How about you?

What's one fear that you've outgrown?

P.S. Here's a pic of me from around that time. 
(10+ years ago) 

The editors must have been generous filling in my beard, because my facial hair was not very good at this age 😂

A founder I'm working with was UPSET after a board meeting:

“I was trying to sound stronger and ended up rambling.”

He runs a $10M+ company.
Incredibly smart guy.

He does big numbers.
He has the vision.

But when he had to speak in big moments, he still overdid it sometimes. 

- Talked too fast.
- Explained too much.
- Added points that didn’t need to be there.

Not wrong... just too much.

And it made his message harder to follow.

“I could see them checking out,” he told me.

“It felt like I was trying too hard.”

How did we fix this?

We worked on: 

1.) Tight structure
2.) Clear pacing
3.) Cutting 30% of what he was saying

A few weeks later, an investor said to him:

“You seem more sharp lately.

I don't know what you're doing, but it's landing better.”

He was pumped. 

Strong communication isn’t about talking more.

It’s about sounding clear, confident, and credible.

And instead of feeling frustrated or annoyed...

(because you know you could be speaking better)

You get to feel confident and proud of the way you speak. 

What do you think?

Do you ever feel like you’re trying too hard to sound “on”?

If you've ever been  talked over in a meeting, here’s 1 thing to change immediately:

Start your points with clarity and conviction.

Not fluffy uncertainty. 

So instead of:
“I think this might be a good idea”

You’d say:
“This is a better path forward, and here’s why.”

Because the first version creates doubt.

And the second creates respect.

People who struggle with this often think it’s just their personality.

– “I’m not the kind of person who takes up space.”
– “I don’t want to sound too aggressive.”
– “I’d rather let others speak first.”

I hear this type of thing too often. 

But here’s what you need to know:

1.) You deserve to be listened to.
2.) You deserve to be taken seriously.
3.) You deserve to show up with powerful presence. 

One of the shifts I often work on with clients is helping them feel and sound more confident.

Once they make this change, everything else gets easier:

- They’re less stressed when put on the spot 
- Their ideas come out more clearly
- They feel more calm under pressure

This is how communication should feel.

Clear. Composed. Powerful.

And it’s absolutely possible for you.

Remember: communication is a skill you can learn.

(And excel at)

I have faith in you. 

P.S. Do you ever get talked over?

Warren Buffets wants you to invest in communication skills. 

It’s not just me. Ha
 
I love this quote from him: 

“The one easy way to become worth 50% more than you are now - at least - is to hone your communication skills - both written and verbal.

If you can’t communicate, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark.

Nothing happens. 

You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it.”

You heard it from the man himself! 

Do you agree? 

P.S. I’m not sold on these A.I. pictures, but I think it’s better for everyone if it’s obvious they’re not real 😅

I’ve done hundreds of calls with prospects over the years, but I heard something RARE yesterday.   

We’re discussing the motivation behind him wanting to become a better communicator, and he says: 

“Well, I like giving gifts to people, I like buying nice things, I like giving people experiences.

And in order to give people the best experience possible, especially my clients, communication is a big part of that.”

He goes on to say:

“I’m a person that values quality, and the way that I speak should reflect that quality at a high level.”

This was interesting because normally people say things like: 

—> “I want to be more confident” 

—> “I want to advance my career and make more money”

—> “I want to grow my business and be able to influence people” 

—> “I want to get into politics so I can deceive people and get large amounts of power only to use it for personal gain and then not do any of the things I promised”

You know, the usual stuff. 

(Just kidding about that last one)

But this was a bit different. 

It was about: 

1.) Delivering an elevated, premium experience every time he speaks.

2.) Holding himself to a higher personal standard.

I thought it was interesting. 

What do you think?

Have you ever thought about speaking from that perspective?

Nearly twenty years ago, at the age of 27, I experienced my first burnout. Caught in the relentless pace of a ‘work hard, play hard’ culture, I didn’t see the signs until it was too late. 

Burnout was rarely discussed in mainstream circles then, and awareness was limited. This experience taught me that prevention is the best therapy. I now advocate for this burnout assessment tool to help individuals recognise early warning signs and adopt preventive measures to safeguard against burnout.

Wellness Ambassador

Skills Alliance

I set up the business from scratch for Skills Alliance GmbH in Switzerland to provide recruitment services across Europe within life sciences. In year two, we quickly grew a multicultural & multilingual team of 8 and achieved north of 1 Million in Net Fee Income. The average tenure per employee over its course was 3.5 years and total intake was 32. I was the first employee at Skills Alliance GmbH. The group signed a private equity deal in 2022.

Director - Continental Europe

CareerNRG

I set up my own independent recruitment consultancy providing global recruitment services.

Hays

I joined James Harvard to set up a pan-European division offering recruitment services within life sciences. By 27, I had hired, led, trained and developed over 30 multicultural and multilingual entry-level recruiters while transitioning from a senior consultant averaging 1 placement a week across multiple European countries. I was the first foreign language speaker at James Harvard. Hays acquired the company in 2007.

European Research Director

RDL Corporation

I started my career in recruitment when joining M3 (part of the RDL group) which RDL had only recently acquired. My role included setting up a division offering contract and permanent recruitment services across Europe within life sciences. I was the first team member to build a pharma desk at M3.

Finding the right job is hard. Relocating is even harder. I make it easier, more meaningful & 🤩

I’ve relocated. Reinvented. Restarted.
Not just once but over and over again.

I know what it means to leave the familiar behind in search of something better.

That’s why I don’t just help people relocate or change jobs. I help them relaunch.

Success isn’t about where you go next but who you become when you get there.

Over the years, I’ve led recruitment teams across borders, trained 100+ professionals, and helped thousands of candidates navigate significant transitions in life and career.

But I’m not in this for the metrics.

I’m in it for the moments when someone stops playing small and starts living with conviction.

Follow Your Heart ❤️ isn’t just a brand.
It’s a way of life.

If you’re standing at the edge of change, I’m here to help you leap.

“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because its trust is not in the branch but in its own wings.”

Trust is fundamental in all strong relationships,
especially the one with ourselves. 

Like a bird on a branch, we might not know when a situation may change unexpectedly, but knowing we can rely on our own abilities can make all the difference 🤩

Just as the bird trusts its wings to keep it safe, 

we too must trust our:

– Skills
– Abilities
– Instincts

to navigate through life’s uncertainties.

When contemplating changes like:

– a job shift
– a relocation
– a career transition

the fear often arises from the question: 

 ‘What if something goes wrong?’

Well, the answer from the bird would be:

“Let’s trust in our own capabilities and be prepared to act should challenges arise.”

Do you agree?👍

The pilot flying the plane from one place to another doesn’t own the aircraft nor is he a shareholder of the airline.

Yet, he has complete control and responsibility for the plane and its passengers.

The football manager doesn’t own the football club nor is he a shareholder of the brand.

Yet, he has complete control and responsibility over its players and the pitch.

The heart surgeon who operates on a patient doesn’t own the hospital nor is he a shareholder of the clinic.

Yet, he has complete authority over the operating room.

Ever seen someone walk into the cockpit because the plane was flying through turbulence?

Ever seen a football manager being told what to do at the 60th minute because his team was 2–0 behind?

Ever seen a heart surgeon being put under pressure midway through the operation?

No, you have not.

Why is it, then, in the business world, that we have so many who think they know better?

Just because your team is struggling or you’re behind target it doesn’t give anyone, whether a shareholder or a director, the right to interfere with your work.

So when you see someone in the office constantly sniffing around, like a hyena putting their nose into other people’s business, ask yourself two questions:

1.	How can they effectively do their job while obsessing over someone else’s?

2.	Is there something more sinister going on here under the pretence of “knowing better”?

As a company, if someone doesn’t do a good job, you have the right to replace such an employee.

The pilot touches down. Replace him.
The football manager finishes the season. Replace him.
The heart surgeon comes out of the operating room. Replace him.

But you do not have the right to interfere with their job while they are performing their duties.

Agree?👍
