Being Too Comfortable Is Keeping You Stuck and How to Fix That | Ep 426

Your comfort zone isn't protecting you. It's quietly making you weaker and costing you the growth, confidence, and momentum you say you want.We live in a world engineered for comfort: air conditioning, instant everything, a soft landing for every little ache. Somewhere, we started treating discomfort like a disease to fix instead of the admission fee for everything worth having. This episode unpacks why comfort is so expensive, how it quietly compounds against you, and how to start building real tolerance for the discomfort that growth actually requires.Here's what you'll learn:Why comfort never feels like a choice, and how that disguise is exactly what makes it so easy to keep picking the easy thing every single timeThe real difference between pain that's protecting you and discomfort that's building you, so you stop treating growth like an emergencyHow comfort quietly compounds, so every easy choice today makes the hard choice tomorrow even harderThe one question to ask yourself the moment discomfort shows up, before you rush to make it disappearA small, almost embarrassingly simple weekly challenge that builds your tolerance for discomfort one rep at a timeComfort keeps you safe and small. Discomfort is where you actually grow, and this episode shows you how to stop running from it.>>>Book your Executive Presence Audit: https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presenceExperts Edge newsletter delivered right to you inbox: https://speakandstandout.com/bid-newsletterConnect with me on:LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabitoInstagram: @laurieann.murabitoVisit my website for more advice and tipsThank you for listening, LA

Success is Rented: The True Cost of Achievement in Leadership and Speaking | Ep 425

Success isn’t owned—it’s rented, and the rent is due every single day.Most people think one good effort is enough to coast for months or years. That’s not how it works. Keeping your edge at speaking, leadership, or even in your personal life, means you have to keep showing up, every single day.Great results are never guaranteed or permanent. The moment you stop putting in the work, you start falling behind. If you want lasting success, repetition and everyday effort are your only options.Here’s what you’ll learn:Why success, team culture, and even your health are “rented”—so that you understand why consistency, not one-time effort, is what builds lasting impact.The real cost of falling behind on “the rent”—so you spot the quiet, slow slide that can cost you big opportunities.How to keep your speaking skills sharp with simple, everyday actions—so that you’re ready for any unscheduled meeting or last-minute speaking slot.Strategies to build trust and loyalty with your team—so they bring you their best every day, not just once.How to avoid scrambling when it’s too late and instead stay prepared on purpose—so you turn high-pressure moments into easy wins.Keep paying the rent, and watch how opportunity knocks at your door—day after day.>>>Book your Executive Presence Audit: https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presenceExperts Edge newsletter delivered right to you inbox: https://speakandstandout.com/bid-newsletterConnect with me on:LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabitoInstagram: @laurieann.murabitoVisit my website for more advice and tips

Networking to Build Your Personal Brand and Get Known | Ep 422

If the word networking makes you want to run the other way, you are not alone.If networking feels awkward, transactional, or just not your thing, you've probably been doing it wrong.

What's Really Driving Your Motivation and Success (and How To Work with It) | Ep 420

You don’t need more willpower. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. And once you understand this one thing, avoiding your goals will never feel the same again.Everything you do, every goal you chase, every habit you avoid comes down to one simple principle: pain vs pleasure. Your brain is wired to move toward what feels good and away from what feels uncomfortable. The problem is, most people have it backwards, and it's keeping them stuck.In this episode, you're going to learn why you find some things effortless and others nearly impossible, how to flip the associations that are holding you back, and exactly how to use this to finally go after the goals you keep putting off.Here’s what you’ll learn:What your brain is actually doing when you procrastinate, avoid, or keep saying no to the things you know you need to doHow the pain and pleasure associations you've built around your goals are either working for you or against you Why two people can look at the exact same goal and have completely opposite reactions to it, and what that means for how you need to approach changeThe simple mindset shift that turns hard, uncomfortable things into something you can actually stick with, so your goals stop feeling like punishmentHow to apply this directly to speaking, leading, and showing up in the rooms that matter most for your career>>>Book an Executive Presence Call at https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presence>>>Get the Expert's Edge delivered to your inbox at https://speakandstandout.com/news

Why Bad Memories Show Up Every Time You Speak (And What To Do About It) | Ep 418

What if every time you step up to speak, it’s not your skills holding you back, but an old story from your past, replaying in your mind?That fear you feel about speaking up in a meeting or giving a big presentation didn’t appear out of thin air.
