communication entrepreneurship leadership mindset Dec 12, 2023

“The butterflies will never go away, but you can teach them to fly in formation.” - Rob Gilbert

As a communicator do you struggle to feel like you belong in certain rooms? How do you show up and not have the pestering voice in the back of your head to prove something? Well, here’s a question for you: “What if feeling confident wasn’t the determining factor?”

Today, I connected with René Rodriguez, best-selling author, keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and transformational speaker coach. For the last 27 years, René has been researching and applying behavioral neuroscience to solve some of the toughest challenges in leadership, sales, and change. In this conversation, he breaks down how to become a better storyteller, captivate any audience you find yourself in front of, and why feeling confident doesn’t really matter.
