あらすじ・解説
Meet Erica. It’s the end of the quarterly budget meeting, and with a forced smile, she says goodbye to her peers and CEO. As she heads to her office, head down, she’s overwhelmed with a single thought: “Why can’t I just get my message across?” On paper, Erica’s role as VP of Human Resources looks successful. But today’s meeting felt like a failure. She struggled to present confidently despite preparing a detailed proposal to boost employee well-being and reduce attrition. Her nervousness took over, and Erica stumbled when the CEO questioned her ideas. Instead of making her case, she left feeling small and doubting her abilities. Jay sits down with Brielle Wohlenhaus, founder of CrossGen Media, a consulting company that empowers leaders to communicate with clarity and impact. Brielle’s journey—from overcoming her fear of public speaking to becoming a sought-after coach for confident communication—equips her with insights on how Erica, and others like her, can navigate self-doubt and strengthen executive presence. Join us as we discuss how Erica can transform her communication skills, connect with her audience, and own the room with confidence.
