Cooper Camak

If people aren't engaging when you speak... 
here's the harsh truth (& the solution).

You're not garnering their attention.

It's not their fault.
It's not 'the culture's' fault.
It's not 'smartphone's' fault.
It's not 'virtual meetings' fault.

It's yours.

If you're frustrated at that, here's the quick solution.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 from the outset of speaking and presenting at work.

1) 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸.

- Make it RELEVANT for the audience.
- Make it CLEAR in your message  

After coaching 300+ people 1:1, I can tell you the kicker is being RELEVANT.  Most people present to be 'clear' but never tie their message to what matters to the audience.

2) 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

People have to know at the outset 'what's in it for them' by listening and engaging your presentation.  

- Give CONTEXT - Why are we here?
- Give the TOPIC - "today we'll discuss..."
- Give the SO WHAT- "... so that..."

The 3rd part is the critical point.  What is the VALUE people will walk away with from your presentation or conversation. 

3) 𝗔𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲..."

It has to connect to something they care about.
If it doesn't, they'll disengage.

And yes, you can use the "This matters because..."  When you do, watch people reengage... they'll look up from their phones and laptops.

If presentation nerves at work is something you struggle with, here's 3 harsh realities (and their solution). 

When you're struggling with 'speaking confidence' at work... 3 things you need to know that people won't tell you.

1️⃣ You’re making it about you.

While the spotlight feels scary, what's happening is your mind is turning inward to 'what are they going to think of me?' 

The cure... shifting your focus to adding value & serving your audience.

2️⃣ What you’re feeling is called 'reputation risk'.

You’re not afraid of speaking… you’re afraid of what people think of you. Good news... that’s 100% normal! The cure... shocker... focus on serving them vs 'looking good to them'.

3️⃣ You don’t have a repeatable game plan.

We all feel nerves when you don't have a checklist to do something that matters. So then, you feel the nerves and the anxiety of 'how you'll look'. A repeatable game plan fixes that. 

A great game plan also delivers VALUE to your audience. When that happens, it gives your brain a reason to relax.

If this is you... I give away our confidence formula for free, and you DON'T have to like, follow or comment on this post to get it! 

I'll email it to you for free. Just hit the 1st Featured Posts in my profile to get it emailed to your inbox.

If you want OTHERs to have more confidence speaking at work, you should give it a 👍 or 💡. Heck, you can even repost it.

“Working with Tiffany changed my life! This was the best investment I could have made for myself. I started working with Tiffany shortly after the pandemic hit. The main challenge I was facing was moving up in my company (Fortune 500) during such an uncertain time. Not only did Tiffany build me a comprehensive strategy to help me get what I wanted from the situation — she changed my life on a personal level. She also provided on-demand hours where I could text her to discuss work related issues in real time. Thanks to Tiffany’s program, I received a double promotion, where I jumped 2 levels in seniority in one go! Making the investment in Tiffany will not only skyrocket your career — it will elevate you as a professional, friend and colleague. I highly recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a game changer." - Kirin

Fun fact: I started my business 2 months after my daughter was born. 

And yesterday, we celebrated her 6th birthday. 

Looking back, it was the biggest leap in my career. 

But I knew deep down I needed to give this a real shot. 

Having Leah was a huge inspiration and motivation for me to build this with my whole heart and help more women win in corporate.

I wanted to create something I’d be proud of and could show Leah what’s possible. 

Fast forward almost 6 years later, and achieving the biggest year in my business, I’m forever grateful I made that decision. 

Each year, Leah’s birthday reminds me of the pivotal moment that started it all ❤️

In that spirit, I wanted to share a few things I told myself back then that helped me make the shift:

👉 Life’s too short to not play all out. No day is guaranteed and you owe it to yourself to do what you know you’re capable of, even if it feels scary. 

👉 Connect so deeply to your WHY that it builds a next level of self-discipline, rigor and accountability, especially through more difficult chapters.

👉 If you know you can help others with your expertise in a bigger capacity, why not find a way to do that? It can lead you to the most rewarding work. 

👉 You can always revert back, but you don’t always have the chance to bet on yourself. When that urge comes, lean into it, don’t fight it. 

👉 When you look ahead at your retirement, what would you have hoped to accomplish? If your current path is not leading you there, let this be your sign to make a change towards it now. 

Parenthood changes you. 
Motherhood changes you. 
Entrepreneurship changes you. 

But each chapter has led me here, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

I’m incredibly grateful for the work I get to do and for the amazing women my team and I coach daily to bring out their best 👏

Happy birthday my sweet Leah. Thank you for being a ray of light that continually pushes me to give it my all. 

Mommy loves you more than you know ❤️

How to look good in front of your C-level execs

(Steal my 10-part playbook) 👇

1. Start with the conclusion, not the background
↳ Executives need to understand the key insight immediately. Lead with that first. 

2. Frame updates around decisions and outcomes
↳ Position your message around the key decision to be made, associated risks, and impact.

3. Use the Pyramid Principle in meetings
↳ Start with with your main point or recommendation.
↳ Provide 2-3 high-impact data points that validate your argument. 
↳Offer deeper details only if needed.

4. Eliminate filler words that dilute your message
↳Unnecessary words make you sound less confident and lessen your impact.

5. Control your pacing
↳Pause for emphasis after key points, vary your tone, and breathe between thoughts.

6. Be direct and decisive
↳Executives want clear recommendations and strong decision-making.

7. Integrate hot topics and what’s in it for them
↳Focus on what matters to them most to maximize buy-in.

8. Be ready to handle hard questions and pushback
↳ Staying calm under pressure signals leadership maturity and strategic thinking.

9. Deliver bad news the right way
↳The way you frame these conversations can either build credibility or erode trust.

10. When they disagree, stay composed
↳Show you’re listening actively without immediately defending yourself.

Which 1 are you most excited to try out?

10 ways to shine in front of C-level execs

Ladies, this interview mistake is costing you the job you deserve.

Most candidates walk into interviews focused on giving perfect answers.

But the women I coach who land $150K-$450K+ offers do something different.

They ask strategic, intentional questions that signal leadership readiness, not just competence.

And that’s where most interviews fall apart. 

Not because you lack experience, but because your questions don’t show the executive thinking hiring managers are looking for.

In my latest video, I break down the 8 interview questions you must ask if you want to stand out as a strategic partner,  not just another resume.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

⭐ 8 high-level interview questions that instantly elevate how you’re perceived

⭐ The exact phrasing to sound strategic, not scripted

⭐ How to uncover expectations, leadership style, and evaluation criteria

⭐ What senior hiring managers really listen for

⭐ How to turn interviews into 2-way executive conversations, not interrogations

You’ve got this!

Most candidates go into interviews hoping to impress. Hope is not a strategy.

The ones at the top of the list do this 👇

They walk in prepared with thoughtful, intentional questions and that’s exactly what sets them apart to secure $150K–$450K+ offers.

In my latest video, I share my 8 interview questions you must ask to signal strategic thinking, executive presence, and leadership readiness in every stage of the hiring process.

These are the same questions I teach the women I coach to stand out and secure job offers faster.

Whether you’re interviewing for senior manager, director, VP, or another high-impact role, these questions demonstrate confidence, alignment, and the business acumen decision-makers look for.

In this video, you’ll learn:

→ 8 high-level interview questions that instantly elevate how you’re perceived

→ The exact phrasing to sound strategic, not scripted

→ How to uncover expectations, leadership style, and evaluation criteria

From stalled at Senior Manager to Director in 12 weeks.

This is how my client Tatjana did it 👇

When we first started together, she was feeling stuck on how to secure her Director level role without already having people management experience.

She was also nervous about networking and didn’t know how to build the right support system in her company to get ahead faster.

There were 5 key levers we focused on together:

1. Building her confidence

💫 Action step: We worked through her self-doubt and limiting beliefs that helped her recognize her value and how to build her perceived readiness for Director-level positions.

2. Activating a stronger internal support system

💫 Action step: We outlined key stakeholders and decision-makers in her company for strategic 1:1 conversations and better exposure moments that gave her the recognition she was lacking.

3. Pivot strategy 

💫 Action step: We mapped out her internal pivot strategy and networking scripts to get in front of the right people and position her candidacy for her target promotion.

4. Interview role-play practice

💫 Action step: We crafted her hero stories, accomplishments and differentiators to solidify her candidacy through 5 rounds of interviews. Plus, we did mock interview practice to feel confident owning those conversations with executive presence.

5. First 90 day success

💫 Action step: We created her first 90 roadmap to reinforce her fit for the role and the impact she could bring there vs. staying in her current position any longer.

In just 12 weeks of working together, Tatjana landed her Director-level promotion, something she had struggled to achieve on her own for 8 years prior 🙌

Although 2025 is coming to a close, this is the best time to take action.

You can either put yourself first and get a huge advantage over your peers or…

Play catch up like everyone else come the new year.

Which one will you choose?

8 communication tips to nail your interviews:

(and that helped the women I coach land $150K-$450K+ roles confidently)
______

1. Communicate your distinct value:
↳ Ask yourself “what wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t there?”
↳ Use that to distinguish between your “I” and “we” statements.

Example: “In leading X project, I oversaw the strategy mapping by collaborating closely with our 4 core international teams. I then supported my team who implemented X. In the end, we delivered the strongest campaign of the year, which led to 1 off-season promotion for my team.”

2. Network with active employees:
↳ Gain intel on the company’s current priorities, focus areas and goals.
↳ Integrate these keywords in your interview answers.

Example networking questions to ask:
- “What do you appreciate most about working here?”
- “What’s the biggest challenge on the team right now?”
- “What advice would you have for someone coming into the team?”

3. Prepare impactful stories that reinforce your fit for this role:
↳ Structure your stories in 3 parts: what you did, how you did it & the result it brought.
↳ Be as quantitative as possible in the results you share.

4. Tie your answers back to the needs of this role:
↳ It helps remove hesitations/doubts in your interviewers’ minds.

Example: “I understand the importance of strong team dynamics required for the role to ensure project success. I’m confident that my ability to foster a positive team environment, overcome conflict and navigate team challenges align well with that."

5. Group your answers by core competency of the role:
↳ Create a cheat sheet where you have them laid out to easily reference.

Example groupings: 
- Technical skill proficiency
- Collaboration / stakeholder management
- Leadership / team management
- Challenges / obstacles / conflict

6. Practice your answers out loud:
↳ This helps smooth out your delivery for the moment of truth.
↳ Practice in front of the mirror to control your body language.

Pro tip: Record yourself and watch it back to assess what you want to keep & stop doing.

7. Keep it conversational:
↳ Ask questions throughout the interview, not just at the end.
↳ Ask questions that allow the interviewers to see you in the company, short and long term.

Examples questions:
- What are 3 traits that distinguish your most successful leaders?

Micromanagers are notorious for moving goal posts. 

And they keep you spinning in circles. Frustrating, right? 

Use my script template to help you sound collaborative, not overly cautious when dealing with this.

For example:

"I want to quickly recap our earlier discussion to make sure we’re aligned and moving forward with [specific action] as agreed."

You’ve got this!

♻️ Repost to help others deal with their micromanager.

Ladies, you’re not overlooked. They’re just too used to relying on you.

Being the workhorse doesn’t get you promoted. 
It keeps you stuck.

Let’s change that 👇

Because if you’re the one who always steps in…
The one who never drops the ball…
The one who keeps the team afloat…

Your promotions stall. Why?

I call this the over-reliance trap and it affects too many women.

Here’s how to flip the script.
______

👉 Flip your mindset: Impact > busyness.

Always doing = always busy.
Always busy = not visible.
Not visible = not top of mind for promotion convos.

Stop trying to earn it through over-effort.
You’ve already proven yourself.

👉 Flip your message: Say this at your next 1:1 check-in with your boss.

“I want to make sure I’m driving the right kind of value for where the business is heading, not just putting out fires. Can we build a plan together to support me better to solidify that next level?”

👉 Flip the moment: Identify where your reliability is being exploited.

Ask yourself:

→ What tasks am I too good at that others avoid?
→ Where am I saying yes out of guilt, not growth?
→ What would break if I stepped away?

That’s where you’re over-leveraged.

Use this to start handing off, delegating, or upskilling others, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Remember, being irreplaceable in your role is the fastest way to be overlooked for your next one.

Show you’re ready to grow, not just maintain.
