How to Be Confident in ANY Room with Kathryn Woods
Today we're diving into confident communication. Kathryn Woods—a Communication Trainer and Speaking Coach with over twenty years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist—is here today to teach us not only public speaking tips but how to be a better communicator, how to handle a high conflict situation, and how to be confident.
Kathryn shares her journey from painfully shy child to confident communicator, revealing how our nervous system, posture, and breath affect not only how we sound — but how we feel when we speak.
Together they explore:
🌿 Why confidence follows courage — not the other way around
🌿 The real reason posture and breath change your brain chemistry
🌿 How to build communication confidence through “baby steps” and body awareness
🌿 The four nervous-system responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) — and how to find calm when you’re stuck in one
🌿 How to reset your body before high-stakes conversations
🌿 Why listening is as vital as speaking — “People aren’t really listening to you until they feel heard.”
If you’ve ever waited to “feel ready” before speaking up, this conversation will remind you that confidence is built one breath, one posture shift, one brave sentence at a time.
🎧 Tune in for the calmest, most practical communication coaching you didn’t know you needed.
