Get clients, investments and influence by speaking confidently | Public Speaking Coach for entrepreneurs and execs | ex-Fortune 50 | My featured section has a gift for you.

You know who gets the most clients and promotions?

The person who can speak the best.

You might be an expert in your domain.
But if you don't speak with confidence, no one will trust you.

Your career and business will suffer because you struggle to speak powerfully.

Your next client will go to the person who presents better than you.
Your next promotion will go to the person who communicates better than you.
Your investor might pass because they are not convinced of your value and worth.

You’ll feel weak and powerless.

It’s crazy because you have a lot to share with the world.

But your speaking skills let you down.

Here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be like that.

Now imagine:
You ace sales calls and win dream projects because you speak with confidence.
You get that promotion because you present with clarity in the boardroom.
You build a powerful brand because the world listens when you speak.

I can help you get there.

I’ve helped 500+ entrepreneurs and execs become confident and effective speakers.

• Entrepreneurs like Wes, who had stage fright and went blank when he was in the spotlight.

• VPs like Sarah, whose voice shook every time she presented in the boardroom. But became a confident speaker working with me and secured 2 leads worth $350,000 for her company.

• LinkedIn creators like Jasmin Alić, Ruben Hassid, Lara Acosta, Sophie Miller, Nigel Thomas, Nicholas Boucher, and Mando Sallavanti III who now speak on big stages with credibility, authority, and influence.

I can help you become a confident, powerful speaker too.

Are you ready to stop missing opportunities and start attracting them?

Public Speaking Coach for stage and camera

I coach entrepreneurs and execs on how to speak on camera with maximum impact, create a powerful brand and grow professionally.

I was adopted right out of the delivery room.

But this surprised me when I met my biological family:

I met my entire biological family 2 years ago.

(Yes that’s them in the picture).

These 5 things took me by surprise.
(and number 5 was the weirdest one).

1. We had the same feet.

It was the weirdest thing to see.
I was used to seeing feet very different from mine.
Didn’t realize family could have similar feet!

2. Things got awkward (sometimes).

Yes we had a lot to catch up on.
But we didn’t grow up together.
So at times, we had no shared history.

3. I had so much love for my nephews and nieces.

I grew up as an only child.
But now I was “introduced” to nephews and nieces.
I instantly loved them. Even though we’d just met.

4. We had to work on building connection.

Just because we were related by “blood”:
It didn’t mean there would be instant rapport.
We had to build our relationships from scratch.

5. My biological father also loves public speaking.

He loves getting up on stages.
Just. Like. Me.
But I've never lived with him.
Never been “inspired” by his speaking.

I’m not saying “public speaking” runs in the blood.
But it’s something I can’t explain.

PS Ever met anyone else who’s adopted? yes/no?

When you ask someone “Where are you from?” 

What they hear is: “You don’t look like you belong”. 

This makes immigrants feel out of place. 
(Even if you have the best of intentions). 

So instead of: 
“Where are you from?” 
Ask: 
“Where did you grow up?” 

One questions belonging. 
The other shows curiosity. 

Instead of: 
“Your English is so good!” 
Say: 
“You explain things very clearly” 

One implies surprise. 
The other shows respect. 

I made an entire cheatsheet on this. 
(Probably the first ever of its kind on LinkedIn!) 

When you make people feel welcome, 
You rise above differences in skin color or accents. 

You relate to people on a human level. 

And that makes you powerful and unforgettable. 

PS - anything in the cheatsheet surprising for you? 

PPS - and no, asking “But where are you REALLY from?” is worse!

President Obama once froze on stage. 

I know because I asked his speechwriter Terry Szuplat. 

This is what happened: 

Young Obama had delivered speeches before. 

So for his next speech, he thought “no big deal”. 
He didn’t prepare, didn’t practice. 

But this time - he was speaking to a bigger audience. 
Higher stakes. 

Midway through, he lost his train of thought. 

And froze. 

It wasn’t nerves. 
It wasn’t fear. 

It was overconfidence. 

Here’s the real lesson: 

When the stakes are high, you feel out of your depth. 

Just “confidence” won’t save you. 
Preparation will. 

PS follow Terry for amazing stories on public speaking from the White House.

Stop procrastinating on your public speaking goals.

(This is how to tell your story in 2026):

Every day, people tell me:

“Nausheen, I want to speak on stage but…”

→ “I’m not ready”
→ “I don’t feel confident”
→ “I don’t want to disappoint”

When I got my first TEDx acceptance-
I didn’t feel ready either.

But I didn’t let that stop me.

And it helped me launch my entire business.

You can do 3 simple things to get yourself ready:

(Save this so you can remind yourself)

1. Start with low-stakes opportunities:

→ Open mic storytelling events.
→ Share a project that you worked on publicly.
→ Sign up for a career talk at your alma mater.

2. Create a “positive feedback loop”:

→ Every time you do a talk, note what went well.
→ Use that as proof for yourself that you can do more.

3. Build a “big idea” that you stand for:

→ “Systematize” your expertise to prove your value.

Every day that you procrastinate,
Your competition wins.

Don’t wait to feel ready.
Don’t wait to say yes.

Your future self will thank you.

PS - What do you want to speak about on stage?

Stop saying these 5 things to yourself in 2026.

(You’re destroying your confidence)

“I don’t want to brag” → “I’m proud of what I’ve done”
“I made a mistake, I’m dumb” → “I’ll learn from this”
“I don’t know how to sell” → “I know how to help”
“I can’t do this” → “I can experiment with this”
“I’m going to fail” → “I’m going to try this”

We are all stories that we tell ourselves.

If your story doesn’t serve you, change it.

When you change the way you speak to yourself:
You change the way you speak to the world.

→ Save this post so you can remind yourself of this.

P.S. Ever caught yourself saying any of those things?

Your ideal clients don’t know your true worth. 

(That gap is costing you revenue). 

You’re already great at what you do. 
But opportunities don’t reflect that. 

You’re chasing leads. 
Your best clients hesitate. 
Your work isn’t recognized. 

That’s not an expertise problem. 

It’s a communication problem. 

When you speak about your work, you lack impact. 

So I’m hosting a 2-day mastermind in London 
For coaches and entrepreneurs who are experts - 
but under-recognized. 

We’ll work on: 

- Turning your expertise into authority. 
- Owning any stage or room you walk into. 
- How to speak with impact, power and credibility. 

I’m co-hosting this with my own coaches: 
The team who grew my Instagram from 2k to 350k+ (Alessio Bertozzi and Bryan Fischer)

This isn’t a random event. 
It’s an investment in being taken seriously.

Turning your Expertise into 4 and 5-figure deals on LinkedIn with my 3D Content Strategy

Most mid-stage B2B companies have secured deals, delivered results, and hired a team.

But now they face a constraint that comes from this success:

Their revenue plateaus. Sales cycles stretch. Pricing power erodes. Pipeline stalls. Teams revert to tactics under stress.

They try to throw volume to fix the issues:

- More content
- More DMs
- More ads

But the real constraint is that their positioning architecture is built for the early-stage and can’t scale with their growth.

By the time it shows up in content or sales, the damage is already compounding. 

I work with mid-stage B2B founders and leadership teams to diagnose and remove the structural constraints that quietly cap growth. At the level where positioning, buyer psychology, and belief formation intersect.

I help such companies:

- Compress sales cycles by building trust before conversations begin
- Escape comparisons by restructuring differentiation at the category level
- Restore pricing power by making belief unavoidable
- Build reputation in the right rooms

with my framework, The Conversion Architecture™. It happens in 3 layers:

1. Foundation Design: Strategic positioning that eliminates competitor comparison rather than inviting it.
2. Demand Design: Credibility systems that generate qualified leads systematically.
3. Conversion Design: Pre-conviction conversations. Buyers arrive already convinced.

This work sits upstream of content, sales, and hiring, because those downstream systems only work when the structure holding them is sound. 

When the framework is installed, these are the outcomes my clients see:

- A B2B consulting firm generated $5.5M in qualified pipeline in 14 weeks
- Their sales cycles compressed to 8 weeks from the industry average of 6 months
- VC groups and a multi-billion-dollar company entered conversations pre-convinced
- The founder rehired me to implement the system company-wide 

I don't deliver frameworks and leave.

I architect the system. Show you how to apply it. Analyse your implementation. Guide you through iterations. Refine based on your specific situation.

Until the number moves. That’s why I work for 12-15 months with my clients.

Not try. Not help. Solve.

This is for founders and leadership teams who:

- Already deliver real value
- Sense their growth is being capped by something harder to name
- Are done mistaking motion for progress
- Want calm, predictable expansion, not louder activity

If you’re ready to remove the constraint that’s quietly leaking value, DM me here on LinkedIn or send an email to hello@sayantagoswami.com. 

Let’s talk.

“We’ve done the positioning work.”

The most expensive misconception I see in mid-stage B2B companies.

I had a lovely conversation with Eloise Leeson-Smith, a Strategic Comms Consultant, and linguist who has worked with the likes of KPMG, Capgemini, and UN, yesterday. 

Apart from our shared love of language, we agreed on a shared observation:

Most B2B founders think they’ve “done” positioning. They’re clear on what their differentiation is. They know what kind of clients they want to attract.

But they’ve barely scratched the surface. Their ideal buyers box them with every other alternative. Their pricing power erodes every quarter.

And it’s because the founder has arrived at a tagline.
The team is copying the behaviour without understanding the principles.

So they fail to communicate it to the buyers. Revert back to the “numbers game” whenever they’re under pressure. Scale becomes fragile. 

Because they treated positioning like a coat of paint on a shaky house. Not like the foundation it actually is.

Lift Revenue, Compress Sales Cycles, Build Reputation in the Right Rooms with The Conversion Architecture™ | Positioning and Sales Advisor for B2B Mid-stage Companies | $5.5M in Qualified Pipeline Generated

Belief is a gating constraint.

And it’s why B2B companies plateau at $5M.

You have the capability. You have the expertise. You have documented client results.

Yet sales cycles still stretch to 6 months.
Conversations stall at pricing negotiations.
Buyers choose cheaper alternatives over you.

The underlying constraint isn’t that you can’t deliver.
It’s that the buyers don’t believe you can deliver.

Most mid-stage companies try to build belief during sales conversations. By then, it’s too late.

70% of B2B buying decisions happen before sales conversations begin. If you haven’t built belief during this phase, you’d start from zero trust every time.

If your positioning doesn’t establish category clarity,
If it invites comparison to 10 other options,
If it doesn’t demonstrate specific ROI,

Buyers question the investment.

That’s when your company have to tackle:

- Longer sales cycles
- Eroding pricing power
- Being boxed with every other ‘competitor’

Not because your ability to deliver is in question.

Because your positioning didn’t systematically build belief.
