When the Spotlight Is On: Trust, Presence & the Power of Language
Fri Jan 09 2026
What if anxiety isn’t something you have — but something you do?
What really happens inside us when the stakes are high and all eyes are on us?
🎤 Listen if you’ve ever:
Felt blocked or anxious in high-stakes momentsWondered whether sensitivity is a strength or a liabilitySensed that true confidence comes from somewhere deeper than performanceWanted to communicate with impact without losing yourselfIn this episode I’m joined by presentation coach Claudio Senhauser who works with people facing pivotal, high-pressure moments, from boardrooms to global stages. Claudio brings a rare blend of experience: decades in emerging technology, deep training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and a profoundly humane approach to communication.
Together, we explore how language shapes perception, how anxiety is something we do rather than something we are, and why confidence isn’t built through force or fixing, but through trust. We talk about embodiment versus “mind-only” approaches, trauma versus excitement, and why reframing alone isn’t always enough.
We also dive into the double-edged nature of labels like “highly sensitive,” how belief systems live in the body, and what it really takes to show up authentically when visibility feels risky. Along the way, Claudio shares a striking personal story that challenges what we think we know about limits, belief, and change.
This is a conversation about presence, perception, and reclaiming your inner authority, especially if you care deeply, think deeply, and feel deeply.
A grounded, expansive dialogue on trusting yourself when it matters most.
