The Talking Stick: Recent Episodes
Bonita Nuttall
In my over 20 yearsโ worth of experience collectively as a speaker, communication coach and mentor, investigative journalist, TV presenter, MC, and voice artist, if thereโs one thing Iโve learned itโs this: authentic connection only happens when we present from the inside out, and that means first connecting to self, then our message and others.
In this podcast, you'll hear collective wisdom, insights and practical strategies from communication experts around the world ON how to do exactly that, and how to present with increased confidence, clarity and credibility.
