Welcome back to Speaking with Confidence, the podcast that helps you build the soft skills that lead to real results.
Communication, storytelling, public speaking, and showing up with confidence in every conversation that counts.
I'm Tim Newman, a recovering college professor turned communication coach, and I'm thrilled to guide you on your journey to becoming a powerful communicator.
