  Business Communication Skills: Back Yourself and Build Confidence

  Apr 5, 202620 minS3

  Monique Bradley joins Christine Abela to talk about how communication shapes every part of a business, from confidence and leadership through to sales and visibility. Monique shares her journey from performing arts into keynote speaking and coaching, and why learning to back yourself can change the direction of your business. The conversation looks at how many business owners drift into work they can do, rather than what they do best, and how that affects both confidence and results. You’ll hear practical insights on building confidence through repetition, trusting your own judgement, and improving how you communicate with clients, teams, and audiences. Monique also explains why speaking on video feels different to speaking in a room, and how business owners can get more comfortable being the face of their brand. For small business owners, communication sits at the centre of leadership, marketing, and growth. This episode offers a clear perspective on how improving this one area can lift everything else around it.
