Ep 30: How to Build Presence

Words that Change Lives

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of presence—how we convey ourselves physically and vocally to create a lasting impression. Whether you’re an aspiring speaker, seasoned leader, or business owner, building presence can dramatically elevate the impact of your words. Drawing inspiration from the works of Amy Cuddy and Julian Treasure, Helen unpacks how body language and vocal tonality shape how others perceive us and how we feel about ourselves.

Helen shares personal stories and offers actionable tips on how you can develop presence in your everyday life as well as when you’re giving keynotes, presentations, or public talks. You’ll discover how simple techniques can help you “take up space” and feel more confident, grounded, and in control.
