Mastering conversational confidence is the focal point of our discourse today, as we delve into the intricacies of engaging effectively in dialogue. We, Nkechi Nwafor-Robinson and Gaby Mammone, aim to equip you with the essential tools required to exude assurance and authenticity within conversations.

This episode builds upon our previous discussion regarding navigating difficult dialogues, expanding now to encompass the broader theme of commanding conversations with poise and self-assurance. We explore the significance of owning one's inner narrative, speaking with intention rather than striving for perfection, and maintaining a present and engaged demeanor in any interaction.

  • Mastering conversational confidence necessitates the ability to engage authentically during interactions, ensuring effective communication.
  • Owning one's inner narrative is crucial, as it influences how we perceive our value in conversations.

So if you're ready, let the show begin.

Speaker A:

Great day.

Speaker A:

Amazing humans.

Speaker A:

Yes, I got it this time, yet I don't actually know last this episode.

Speaker A:

I think I wanted to say so many things in my brain at the same time and it was just like yippers.

Speaker A:

Anyway, we are here with another episode of Empowering Bites.

Speaker A:

And you know, I'm not alone.

Speaker A:

I am absolutely with the best co host on the planet, Madame Gabby 1B.

Speaker A:

Gabriella, thank you.

Speaker B:

You know, for the several years that we've been doing it, I don't think you've introduced me the same twice.

Speaker A:

That's probably use some of the same kind of things, but.

Speaker A:

Yeah, no, because they're not.

Speaker A:

These things are not.

Speaker A:

They're not rehearsed.

Speaker A:

We're not.

Speaker A:

We kind of.

Speaker A:

We b roll the topics.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker A:

But yeah, that's about it.

Speaker A:

Everything else is very much whatever happens in the moment happens.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So I'm really, really excited about today's topic and we're titling this Mastering the mastery of conversational or mastering conversational Confidence.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And so important because it's on the tail of another.

Speaker A:

Our last episode, if you didn't catch it, was around how to really show up to like certain navigate difficult conversations and with others.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And so this one is also another way which is conversational confidence.

Speaker A:

So irrespective of what's happening is how do you sort of really command the conversations that you're having and exuding a level of confidence, competence, you know what I mean?

Speaker A:

And as speakers and leaders, this is just, this is so important.

Speaker A:

Like we're constantly helping people with this.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

So no better, no better way than to have a conversation around it.

Speaker A:

Love it.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker B:

You know, for anyone that's listening, we would love for you to ask yourself, are you confident in conversations when you speak with someone, do you have confidence when you're conversational?

Speaker B:

And it's not about being the loudest in the room.

Speaker B:

And it's not about showing off.

Speaker B:

It's really about connecting authentically and speaking with assurance.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, it's a, it's.

Speaker A:

I actually, it's interesting because I.

Speaker A:

There's an episode, a podcast episode that I did recently on Barbara Chambers podcast and love it.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

Now that I've put it out on blast, I should share the link.

Speaker A:

And I shared it with my husband and, and I don't often share, I don't often share my, my interviews and stuff like that.

Speaker A:

I don't know why.

Speaker A:

But.

Speaker A:

And, and the reason I shared this one was because I, I listened back to it in, in its fullness and, and I, if there was one, like if I was studying the, the interviewee.

Speaker A:

So Barbara, it's her.

Speaker A:

Your, your Deep Life podcast.

Speaker A:

And she interviewed me.

Speaker A:

But if I was like observing me as the interviewee, the one thing that came to mind was like, wow, you were so, like, so much growth.

Speaker A:

Like, you were so controlled girl, like.

Speaker A:

And I recognize that part of what we're going to share today is in large part what I think I experienced in myself that day was I was completely present.

Speaker A:

And I think that mastering conversational confidence requires you, your whole you to be present and to be.

Speaker A:

And to be there authentically.

Speaker A:

Not trying to pretend, defend, you know, any of those.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Like just there authentically and being, being open with.

Speaker A:

I hate to say real because people keep it real.

Speaker A:

No, but being open to share whatever it is that you're navigating in that point in time, because I think that that is your most present and your most confident self is when you're not having to pretend or protect or defend or.

Speaker A:

You know what I mean?

Speaker A:

Or prove.

Speaker B:

Yeah, well, I mean, I've had the distinct honor of working with you for so many years on this podcast.

Speaker B:

And you know, one thing that I've seen is, you know, our growth together.

Speaker B:

Like, it's handling feedback and it's advocating for yourself and being an active listener.

Speaker B:

That's actually one of your superpowers.

Speaker B:

Is really.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's just on the podcast maybe, but.

Speaker B:

Well, no, but you show genuine interest in people.

Speaker B:

Like you really.

Speaker B:

You know, you nod, you make eye contact, you ask follow up questions.

Speaker B:

You know, you have this engagement with people when you speak and that comes from a place of authenticity and like, really, like you're.

Speaker A:

But do you know that that's why.

Speaker A:

So a lot of people don't know.

Speaker A:

Like, I remember one time, when did you start a podcast?

Speaker A:

And I said, do you know what it was?

Speaker A:

Is that I had gotten feedback, my performance reviews or this, any other that I can benefit from improving the skill around active listening.

Speaker A:

And I want to be a stronger leader.

Speaker A:

And so I asked, what are some of the key skills, you know, that I should master?

Speaker A:

And they're like, active listening.

Speaker A:

And so I just kept hearing this theme of active listening.

Speaker A:

So I'm a cynic.

Speaker A:

Talks about it, right?

Speaker A:

Like letting people get to the.

Speaker A:

To the end of a sentence.

Speaker A:

Not necessarily.

Speaker A:

You kind of spoke about that last time, not responding with whatever was in your mind, but maybe potentially holding that and instead, like, making what they just said have bring value into the conversation.

Speaker A:

Meaning, like, repeat what they just said, you know, speak directly to what they just said.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Like, give that life, you know, and.

Speaker A:

And then allow that to then, you know, organically grow the conversation.

Speaker A:

And so I was like, ah, I think, like, I want to be like Oprah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

You know, and I was like, I want to learn how to ask great questions.

Speaker A:

I want to learn how to list.

Speaker A:

Because I would ask a lot of my mentors, like, I would observe you, and I find that you could take it like, there's topics and conversation happened at the table, and then you just distill, like, you speak at the end and you distill everybody's points into some poignant, you know, sort of, you know, commentary that is just so bang on, you know, And.

Speaker A:

And so I was like, well, how about if I become somewhat of a report like, you know, a journalist, you know, let me be a podcast host.

Speaker A:

That's really.

Speaker A:

What.

Speaker A:

Why amazing.

Speaker B:

And we never spoke about that.

Speaker B:

So for me to say active listening, that must be cool for you because that's full circle for you.

Speaker A:

I'm still working on it.

Speaker A:

I would say my marriage is the hardest place where that's.

Speaker B:

Just remember, you're not responsible for other people's actions or, you know, their.

Speaker B:

Their opinions or anything, right?

Speaker B:

So it's all about conversation and communicating.

Speaker B:

And that's why last week's episode and this one, because it' it's really, you know, how do we have that warm and engaging tone?

Speaker B:

How do we share personal anecdotes, relatable stories, copyright examples, and just really maintain that?

Speaker B:

So anyone that's listening and Kitchen and I, before this, we agreed on three keys, three tips on how to master conversations with confidence.

Speaker B:

And so let's jump in.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I like the first one.

Speaker A:

So the first one is own your inner narrative.

Speaker A:

And I'll explain this one.

Speaker A:

I'll explain this one from a story.

Speaker A:

So true story.

Speaker A:

I was in A meeting at work and probably on a call, let's just say roughly about 20, 25 people on the call.

Speaker A:

And I remember.

Speaker A:

And I spoke into the.

Speaker A:

I, I spoke into the space and I'm a leader on the call, right?

Speaker A:

I spoke into the space and, and my then leader and like completely ignored what I said, right?

Speaker A:

Like, and what I said.

Speaker A:

And I might have even.

Speaker A:

What I said was maybe in question or was to incite dialogue and completely ignored.

Speaker A:

And, and the conversation moved on.

Speaker A:

And it's weird because I had also had some earlier and again, so back.

Speaker A:

So a little bit of context.

Speaker A:

I'd had some previous, like some other interactions that kind of made me like, put my back up, right?

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

So in this particular case, I remember I wasn't in the room with everybody.

Speaker A:

I was remote.

Speaker A:

And I remember going on mute right away.

Speaker A:

And, and at that time I had.

Speaker A:

So there's a great book.

Speaker A:

Like now I'm thinking about this book.

Speaker A:

Essentially what I, what I did is I started to observe myself, like, what was happening to me because I felt like I had been silenced.

Speaker A:

And so the inner narrative started and it was like that you just got cut off, you know, you know, your opinion, your thoughts don't matter, you know, that, that was embarrassing.

Speaker A:

Like, all of these comments, like, why did they, why did they ignore what I said?

Speaker A:

And I was like, okay, and why are you making that true?

Speaker A:

You know, And I started having this, like, what, what is important for you right now?

Speaker A:

What needs to be true before this meeting ends?

Speaker A:

Is what you said important enough that you want to highlight it in this meeting?

Speaker A:

Or can you leave it and just move on and pay attention to the rest of the meeting?

Speaker A:

You know, And I remember myself having.

Speaker A:

And I also was like, check your breathing, you know, like this, this obviously impacted you.

Speaker A:

Why is that?

Speaker A:

And then I, and then like I said, context, context wise, I thought that like I was having.

Speaker A:

I thought there was something between myself and somebody else that was, that was, you know, sort of contributing to the.

Speaker A:

Be to that, to that behavior.

Speaker A:

And then I, and then, and then I just started to say, okay, what, what would empower me most, right?

Speaker A:

Like, what would, what would I be most proud of at the end of the day?

Speaker A:

You know, and so that inner narrative, that talk that, that, that ability to listen to when the.

Speaker A:

There's that Debbie doubter on your shoulder that's really telling you to, you know, put yourself on mute, mind yourself, right?

Speaker A:

Like, behave yourself.

Speaker A:

Like, what made you think, you know, you should be off mute and speaking into the room and and then just make sure that you, you have that conversation with that, you know.

Speaker A:

And so I, I took a deep breath.

Speaker A:

I made sure that I was completely like, feet were grounded.

Speaker A:

I felt that what I needed to say was true because of the audience that was on the call.

Speaker A:

And I came back off mute and I said, I believe I made a point earlier that was bypassed.

Speaker A:

And so I just want to make sure that I bring.

Speaker A:

That it comes.

Speaker A:

That it's brought into this conversation in this room, because I think it's important, you know, and by this time, like, I was doing exactly that, I was smiling because now I was like, I was really confident that conversation.

Speaker A:

Anyway, long and short of it was after that meeting, I, you know, I actually got some comments from people that, like, that said that they were talking afterwards and they were like, wow, they were, they were like, you know, really impressive.

Speaker A:

And came back around with her comment and, and, and state and made it clear that, that she hadn't made the comment before and had been bypassed, but it was important enough that she was going to make sure that it was heard on this call.

Speaker A:

You know, like.

Speaker A:

And you realize that you give other people anyway the confidence also to hopefully do that for themselves.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing that with us.

Speaker B:

And, you know, what I heard was that you did feel that what you had to say had value, you were worthy of being heard and you were confident you could have, you know, left.

Speaker B:

You could have responded right away in a very negative way.

Speaker B:

But you sounds like you handle yourself really well.

Speaker B:

You owned your inner narrative.

Speaker A:

And I think our inner narrative is so.

Speaker A:

Because I'll always say this, right?

Speaker A:

It's never what somebody else says about you that matters.

Speaker A:

It's what you say about you that it's, it either.

Speaker A:

It either silences you, it either kicks you in your ass or, or it exalts you.

Speaker A:

It uplifts you.

Speaker A:

Believe it, you know, and so your inner narrative is so important, which is why I'm such an affirmation junkie and encourage everybody, right?

Speaker A:

Like, you, you gotta have enough language inside of you that supports you, that helps you thrive, that helps you feel uplifted, that champions you, that, you know, that freaking motivates you, that like, that propels you forward, that like, fires you up, that like, you know, and it's got to be like, it's gotta, it's gotta be the best song that you've ever memorized.

Speaker A:

You know what I mean?

Speaker A:

Like, don't know the lyrics of other songs if you don't.

Speaker A:

If you don't know the lyrics of your own inner positive narrative.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker B:

So number one, the number one key is own your inner narrative.

Speaker B:

So let's go to the second one.

Speaker B:

The second one I really love, which is speak with intention, not perfection.

Speaker B:

So let's unpack that.

Speaker B:

For example, we don't need to know everything to speak with authority.

Speaker B:

And so what you want to do is you want to emphasize what the primary goal is.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And then convey your message, to connect with the others to make sure that you're articulating it well.

Speaker B:

But you don't have to worry about making mistakes because you want to be clear.

Speaker B:

You don't have to make people feel like you're faking it or anything like this.

Speaker B:

You just really want to be able to speak with authority with what you know.

Speaker B:

And don't be.

Speaker B:

I don't want to use this word, crippled.

Speaker B:

But don't be fearful of making mistakes, because intention is knowing what you want to achieve with your words.

Speaker B:

It's about being clear, being concise, being authentic.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And whereas perfection really leads us to, like, overthinking and doubting and hesitation and, you know, lack of this genuine connection.

Speaker B:

So I really think that when we speak with intention, not perfection, we're embracing vulnerability.

Speaker A:

Yes, I agree.

Speaker B:

Authenticity.

Speaker A:

I think it connects to people more.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

From the heart.

Speaker B:

You're expressing your feelings, your true feelings from your heart.

Speaker B:

And that's what people connect with.

Speaker B:

The realness.

Speaker B:

Not a robot, but the realness of.

Speaker B:

Of a conversation.

Speaker B:

So removing all the.

Speaker B:

All the pressure, what are your thoughts about speaking?

Speaker A:

When you said, be clear, I thought you're gonna say, be clear, not clever.

Speaker A:

Clever.

Speaker A:

And it's funny.

Speaker A:

There's one thing that I always.

Speaker A:

I love that Oprah.

Speaker A:

So she says this I know for sure you've ever heard her.

Speaker A:

She says it quite a bit.

Speaker A:

This I know for sure.

Speaker A:

This I know for sure.

Speaker A:

And it does.

Speaker A:

I think it exudes a lot of confidence.

Speaker A:

Like, you know, people say, I.

Speaker A:

I have a stupid question.

Speaker A:

I never say that.

Speaker A:

I say, I have a brilliant question.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yes, exactly.

Speaker A:

I have a brilliant question.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

And people know it's the same thing.

Speaker A:

But I just reframe it because I have a brilliant question.

Speaker A:

Like, my people think that something brilliant's about to come out of your mouth, Right.

Speaker A:

And to be quite honest, you could trick people into believing it's a brillian.

Speaker A:

Brilliant question.

Speaker A:

I have a brilliant question to move to bring into the space, you know, and.

Speaker A:

Or, you know, what I know is.

Speaker A:

Or from My experience or I'm pretty.

Speaker A:

I'm confident that about this.

Speaker A:

You know what I mean?

Speaker A:

And you know, I think, I think it's all having those framing, like sentence, like starts sent pre.

Speaker A:

Things that you can use to start.

Speaker A:

Your comments will add to whatever it is that you want to say.

Speaker A:

But I really like Oprah's this.

Speaker A:

I know for sure.

Speaker B:

It's powerful.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

Because it's, It's.

Speaker B:

It's a strong way to build that connection.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker B:

All right, shall we go into number three?

Speaker B:

So number, Just to recap, number one is own your own inner narrative.

Speaker B:

Number two is speak with intention, not perfection.

Speaker B:

Number three is hold the space with your presence.

Speaker A:

I love that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

What you think that means?

Speaker B:

And then.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So I will.

Speaker A:

So I'm gonna, I'm gonna give credit to Bozoma St.

Speaker A:

John on this one because it's.

Speaker A:

It's actually so simple to.

Speaker A:

I say it differently, but I, I'll say how I say it afterwards.

Speaker A:

I think we actually did a podcast episode on it.

Speaker A:

But, but which.

Speaker A:

So the other day I was at a workshop that she was.

Speaker A:

She hosted and she talked about the science of matter.

Speaker A:

Matter, Right.

Speaker A:

And she says when, when you add a molecule, when, when you add a molecule to matter, it changes the matter.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And when you remove a molecule, the matter changes again.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And then so she talked about, imagine the spaces that you occupy, the rooms that you occupy, the meetings or this, any other.

Speaker A:

Consider that matter.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And if.

Speaker A:

And the minute you walk into the room, you are the Molly.

Speaker A:

The room shifts.

Speaker A:

The room changes because you are now in that room.

Speaker A:

You're in that space, so you are the molecule that changed the matter.

Speaker A:

The room is no longer the same.

Speaker A:

And when you leave the room will shift again.

Speaker A:

Whatever happens in that room with the combination of the molecules, the people that are in that room is what happened in that room because of who was in the room.

Speaker A:

1 Remove one person from that equation could be you, anyone.

Speaker A:

And something different happens in that room that's so powerful.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And so I think what happens to a lot of us is we think we don't hold that kind of space.

Speaker A:

We walk into the room and you don't need to.

Speaker A:

I don't like, nobody in that room needs to be the smartest person in the room.

Speaker A:

Everyone just needs to know why they're smart in that.

Speaker A:

What and what they're smart is and what their smart is in that room.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker A:

And then being courageous and confident enough to share that smart in that room.

Speaker A:

And when you leave You're.

Speaker A:

You're not smart.

Speaker A:

You're smart.

Speaker A:

Goes with you to wherever next you're going.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

So it's, you know, and so I think that, that, like, I am the molecule that changes the matter.

Speaker A:

And it's just about, I think when you walk into rooms, don't walk in feeling intimidated is, you know, don't walk in feeling like you don't matter.

Speaker A:

Don't walk in feeling like the space is not yours.

Speaker A:

No, the room shifted the minute you walked into that space.

Speaker B:

I love it.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

Like, it's.

Speaker A:

That's just the.

Speaker A:

You now are a component of what's in that room, and the minute you leave, it changes again.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

So you being in that room matters.

Speaker A:

And it's.

Speaker A:

It's really about.

Speaker A:

And I like this one too.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And again, I think on the.

Speaker A:

Like, was it here where we say, lead people in the space of increase?

Speaker A:

I think it's also yourself.

Speaker A:

Like, I often use my body language because they talk about.

Speaker A:

Amy Cuddy talks about, like, the Superman.

Speaker A:

Isn't it the super.

Speaker B:

Yeah, the Superman.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And do, like the.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but I think, you know, in the presence of owning your space, like, like expand when you speak.

Speaker A:

Like, don't.

Speaker A:

Like, don't.

Speaker A:

Don't speak to bring, like, don't bring in the conversation.

Speaker A:

Don't, don't.

Speaker A:

Don't end your sentence lower than you started it.

Speaker A:

It's funny.

Speaker A:

I did it today in an interview.

Speaker A:

I trailed off and I realized.

Speaker A:

And I hurt myself because I don't often trail off.

Speaker A:

So I was like, okay, just.

Speaker A:

I just watched myself.

Speaker A:

Why did I trail off?

Speaker A:

And I.

Speaker A:

And I realized it's because I didn't form the question.

Speaker A:

I was.

Speaker A:

I was really operating on the fly, and I didn't form the question properly in my head before I asked it, you know, But.

Speaker A:

But you want to expand you.

Speaker A:

So, you know, like, expand this.

Speaker A:

Like, expand the sentence.

Speaker A:

Expand the space that you're occupying in space.

Speaker A:

Don't shrink.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

So I love that.

Speaker B:

I love that as well.

Speaker B:

Like, when I think of holding space, I think of mindfulness, right?

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's cultivating awareness for the thoughts, the feelings, the actions, how my body feels.

Speaker B:

Even before I go on a stage, if I'm, like, feeling kind of down or monotone, and I know I need to bring my energy, I'll do this.

Speaker B:

And for those that are listening, not watching, I'm taking my hands and rubbing them together as fast as I can.

Speaker B:

Whereas if I feel I'm too energetic and maybe the audience is A little more professional.

Speaker B:

And I need to go with a more calmer tone.

Speaker B:

I'm going to hug myself.

Speaker B:

I'm going to hug myself.

Speaker B:

I'm going to rub the sides of my arms.

Speaker B:

That's a very nurturing feeling for me, you know, as if I'm in my mother's arms when I was a baby.

Speaker B:

And so, again, I'm listening to my bodily sensations because it helps me stay present.

Speaker B:

And eye contact is an important thing.

Speaker B:

We work a lot with people that are neurodivergent or maybe eye contact is difficult.

Speaker B:

And that's okay because you can use your body in different ways, you know, so you can.

Speaker B:

And, you know, you can avoid crossing your leg or your arms.

Speaker B:

And really just maintaining, like, a relaxed posture is important.

Speaker A:

I think the other thing I would say, too, is just speaking in rooms a lot.

Speaker A:

There's power in the pause.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's why I just said.

Speaker B:

When you paused, I was like, what's she gonna say.

Speaker A:

In the pause?

Speaker A:

And the other thing I would also say, and we kind of said this in B roll.

Speaker A:

Silence is actually, like, especially the more confident you are in a conversation.

Speaker A:

About the Podcast

The Empowered in My Skin Podcast
A podcast designed to help humans everywhere think in ways that is empowering.
This Podcast is all about helping humans think in ways that is empowering. Empowered humans, empower humans and our goal at Empowered in My Skin is to help develop one billion humans who are lead dominos for empowerment. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc., everyone deserves to be empowered in the skin that they are in.

Empowered humans are thriving humans. It is our birthright to thrive. When we own our thrive, we are operating from a position of empowerment, and celebrating life in the present moment without fear. It is human nature to feel uncertain, but why does it have to take us away from our thrive, our creativity, and throw us off balance? 

If we can recognize that being empowered is us choosing to accept all that is, then we have the ability to step into clarity and live in the present moment. Our "now" is all that we have and where our infinite empowered energy resides.
