Confidence, Communication & Public Speaking Skills & For Success At Work

Stand Out Get Noticed

Quick hello!

Have you ever shared an idea in a meeting… only for someone to immediately say, “Yeah, but…”? It’s amazing how quickly those two tiny words can shut down ideas, kill momentum, and make people feel hesitant to speak up.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple communication technique borrowed from improvisational theatre that can completely change the way you lead conversations, present ideas, and respond to others at work.

The “Yes, And” mindset is a powerful tool for leaders, presenters, and ambitious professionals who want to create better collaboration, stronger engagement, and more psychological safety in meetings and presentations.

When you learn how to replace “but” with “and,” you create space for ideas to grow instead of shutting them down.

This episode will show you exactly how to apply the technique in real workplace situations — without becoming a pushover 😉

In this episode, you’ll learn:


What the "Yes, And" technique is and how it originated in improv theatre


Why saying “no, but” shuts down ideas in meetings


How to use "Yes, And" during brainstorming sessions and team discussions


How presenters can handle audience questions with confidence


A simple way to give feedback without triggering defensiveness


Why "Yes, And" creates psychological safety at work


How to set boundaries while still using a collaborative communication style

303: The “Yes, And” Technique: Your New Favourite Communication Skill!

Struggling to communicate clearly, experiencing all the brain fog, or feeling overwhelmed at work?

In this episode of Stand Out Get Noticed, I am so excited to share this conversation with Business & Wellness Coach Sonya Stattmann about what’s really happening in your nervous system when pressure builds — and how to prevent burnout before it takes over.

You’ll learn why burnout isn’t caused by one bad day, but by accumulated stress, and how small, simple “micro-practices” can help you stay calm, think clearly and communicate effectively under pressure.

If you’re a high-performing professional or leader who wants to build resilience, manage stress and show up with confidence at work, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:


What nervous system dysregulation is (and why it happens)


The hidden link between chronic stress and burnout


Why high achievers are especially at risk


Simple 5-minute micro-practices to regulate your nervous system


What to do in the moment when you feel overwhelmed in a meeting, presentation or difficult conversation


How building resilience improves your communication and leadership impact
