115. How To Speak More Confidently On Stage… Like Candice Harvey.
The Shake Up Podcast with Candice HarveyShow Notes
Send Candice a text! This episode wasn’t planned… and that’s exactly why you need to listen. Last week I was in Canberra MCing a conference for the Risk Management Institute of Australasia - nearly 400 people, massive keynote lineup, big energy. I was there to MC. That was the job. But after Day 1, something interesting happened… Person after person kept coming up to me asking the same thing: “How do I become a more confident speaker like you?” So… I mentioned it to the interim CEO - and with...

Send Candice a text! It was 3am. (Our doesn’t go off until 4am, which is already a crime to a few people.) And there we both were, tossing, turning, hugging, huffing and puffing. Two brains, wide awake, both thinking about... work. If there’s an off switch for the head, we have yet to find it. That’s where this episode came from. We’re currently both under the pump at work right now, and it’s probably staying that way until Christmas. And yet, after just over 10 years together and 6 ma...
Send Candice a text! This morning I was standing in the shower. I was clean. I was done. I could have got out five minutes ago, and I still didn’t want to. (You know those mornings.) My brain was busy replaying every conversation I’ve had lately. Friends who are flat out. Business owners with teams that are stressed, or just plodding. A husband with a lot on. And me, trying to work out how I actually feel. Different people, same question hiding underneath all of it: should I be pushing right...
Send Candice a text! Two and a half years ago, I walked into Floorworld's National Support Office for the very first time. Little did I know, I'd be back with that same team another five times over the coming years. Along the way there's also been two of their annual awards nights I've MC'd - one in Brisbane, one more recently in Malaysia. So either Jamie Keyzer, Floorworld's CEO, is a glutton for punishment, or something about these sessions is actually landing. In this episode, I sit ...
Send Candice a text! Be honest - how many meetings have you walked into, sat through, and walked back out of thinking "well, that was an hour I'm never getting back"? If you're anything like most people I talk to, the answer is more than you'd like to admit. Here's the thing though - I don't think meetings are the problem. Done well, they create energy, clarity and momentum. They remind people they're not out there operating solo, they're part of something bigger. A good team...
Send Candice a text! I had a coffee this morning with a business owner who'd heard me speak last week, and he said something that's stuck with me all day: "Candice, when you were talking about teams and what they're going through - it was like you were describing our team exactly. All of it." And I had to be honest with him - I'm not psychic. I'm not creeping around outside his office windows taking notes. This is just what goes on inside teams. Not just his team. All ...
