In part one of our Develop Your Voice of Impact podcast takeover, KLC's Strategic Growth Advisor, Krista Donargo kicks off a powerful three-part series designed to help high-performing founders become more confident, compelling, and magnetic communicators, online, in person, and on stage. This episode explores why so many accomplished leaders lose their authority the moment a camera turns on or they're asked to speak publicly, and why it has nothing to do with skill. Krista unpacks the real culprit behind shaky confidence: self-conscious, performance-based communication. Through personal stories and client examples, she introduces a service-led approach that shifts the focus from "How do I sound?" to "How can I help?" You'll learn how over-polishing erases presence, why trends and perfection dilute trust, and how intention, insight, and invitation create authentic authority. This foundational conversation sets the tone for the entire series and reframes communication as a leadership practice—not a content task. If you're ready to stop performing and start leading with your voice, this episode is your starting point.
