Episode #79 Transform Your Performance with Regina Huber

Today I am excited to have Regina Huber on the show.  Regina is the founder of Transform Your Performance.

Regina hosted a talk entitled Choreograph Your Success, in which she shares her passion for dance.  For Regina, dance enhances confidence and presence, and also the relationship between leader and follower.   In her system, Transform Your Performance, she speak of an empowering mindset, a body conscious presence, distinctive uniqueness and effective action.  When you have all of these, you can be an effective leader, both in dance, and in business.  

A very large part of her teaching and coaching involves helping women be visible, and empowers them to be able to speak up and contribute, by exploring all facets including positioning, energy levels and much more.  She also delves into the subconscious mind, where 95%+ of our behavior comes from.

Regina has a book called Speak up, Stand out and Shine: Speak Powerfully in Any Situation,  which contains 26 tools that help anyone show up with more power.  

Regina shares her life experience which has taken her from her native small town in Germany, to Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Brazil, and now speaks 5 languages (5 ½ if she is in Italy!  :-)).  Throughout all of these moves, dance was always an important part of her work.  

She shares stories of the bureaucracy surrounding having a business abroad, and the challenges she faced. She is now back in Munich after having a less than pleasant experience with a business partnership in Brazil.   She attributes this devastating event as a trigger for an amazing mindset shift, and ultimately the program she has created which encompasses all of her life experience.   She has aim to visit Africa in the near future, and has developed some contacts there.  She would eventually like to teach and speak there and make use of the many languages she has learned.   

Regina Shares Her Message Here

As powerful leaders, we women can make a bigger impact and generate more wealth for our companies, clients, and ourselves. We must access our full potential to become effective and respected leaders. This requires focusing on an empowering mindset and a compelling, confident presence, enabling us to accelerate our business and career, while making an outstanding contribution to our communities.

We all benefit when we have more female leaders: as individuals and as a society. I personally believe that world peace ultimately depends on whether we achieve more balance of yin and yang. That’s why I have made it my mission to support female advancement and aspiring female leaders.

Episode #64 Own Your Stage with Elsewine Rietveld

Today I am happy to have Elsewine Rietveld with me. Elsewine is a Presence teacher and trainer and kinesiologist from the Netherlands. She teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to feel confident and make big impacts with their messages in all their conversations, presentations and on video. She teaches a unique set of practical tools that helps them own their inner power and speak in a way which is authentic and charismatic.

Our conversation today covers her childhood experience on debate teams, how she discovered the Presence method, and the difference it has made for her as an entrepreneur and in her relationship. She also shares her tips for making impactful videos, being a better networker and how to get to the bottom of your blocks through the basics of kinesiology.

Tips from Elsewine

1. Eye contact on camera

  • Try to look into the camera, instead of looking down or above and beyond.
  • Imagine there is someone in the camera eye, with the qualities of your ideal client avatar.
  • Trust you are the expert on the topic!

2. Networking

  • Be present and listen more, feel your feet on the floor. Other people love talking about themselves.
  • Try not to have an agenda.
  • If you feel a judgement, ideal or a solution coming up, let it go.

3. Limiting beliefs

  • Voices from the past, can influence you negatively throughout your life.
  • Write down the limiting beliefs that you have and you will start to see what lies underneath
  • If you think about each statement, it will likely trigger a memory and you can see where it comes from.
  • Start to tweak them gently to the positive.

Quotes

  • “A debate is not your personal opinion, it’s still safe, it’s not you standing there, speaking there.” – Elsewine
  • “It’s very important to know the technical part [of video], but the most important part is to know how can you be you on camera and look back and think ‘Ooh, I like her!’” – Elsewine
  • “It’s about coming across through the camera and having your presence truly meet them.” – Elsewine
  • “If you feel really anxious about video, I wouldn’t recommend starting with live platforms like Periscope or Facebook Live.” – Elsewine
  • “It’s about really regaining your feminine power, and if you are in your own zone of genius in that way, people will listen.” – Elsewine

elsewine-06Elsewine is a Presence teacher and trainer and kinesiologist from the Netherlands. She teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to feel confident and make big impacts with their messages in all their conversations, presentations and on video. She teaches a unique set of practical tools that helps them own their inner power and speak in a way which is authentic and charismatic.

Years ago, when she was a student, she was afraid to speak in front of more than two or three people at a time. So she decided to join a debate club, where she learned how to make a good speech, be convincing in her arguments and stand in front of an audience. She participated in various tournaments, nationally and internationally, and won a few prizes.

Once she even won a big tournament final, speaking in front of an audience of 150 people together with her debate partner (who coincidentally ended up being her life partner!). All of that has taught her a lot, but what she noticed was that there is a huge difference between defending a side in a debate (regardless of what you think about the topic) and telling your personal story or talking about your message to an audience of people you’d like to impress.

That’s where kinesiology and the Presence method made all the difference for her! With muscle testing (kinesiology), she learned the source of her blocks and how to overcome them. Through the Presence practices she now teaches in her trainings she learned how she could be authentic, confident and magnetic while speaking. This has really changed her life and she loves teaching this process and helping others become charismatic speakers.
