When transitioning from an executive role to the Boardroom, having decades of brilliant experience isn't enough - you have to know how to transmit that value to others.

In this episode, I sit down with international communications coach Helen von Dadelszen to unpack how aspiring Board Members can find their true "voice" and project authentic executive presence. 

Helen breaks down why your voice is a reflection ofyour judgment and values, how to avoid creating doubt in a listener's ear, and the practical ways to shift your habits to ensure your delivery matches your governance message.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Redefining Your "Voice": Why your voice is far more than just the sound you make; it’s how you transmit your judgment, values, and unique experience to the world.
  • The Power of Congruence: How a monotone or nervous delivery accidentally creates frustration and doubt for Chairs and recruiters, and how to fix it.
  • Breaking the Habit: Why the way you speak under pressure is simply a learned behaviour, and how you can intentionally shift those habits to support your message.
  • Getting Out of Your Head: How to move past the natural, nervous self-consciousness ("How do I look? Are they judging me?") so you can focus entirely on how your message is being received on the other side of the table.
  • Navigating High-Stakes Moments: Practical strategies for structuring your thoughts for casual coffee chats, networking, and formal Board interviews so you sound natural, credible, and authentic.
