## Resource

Communications coach Jon Torrens discusses how introverts and neurodivergent people can build real speaking confidence. Jon believes that confidence is developed through practice, preparation, and experience, not personality type. The episode covers handling inner critics, using pauses effectively, improving meeting participation, and the importance of strong openings and endings. Practical tips focus on clarity, structure, and being heard without needing to dominate.
