Stop Dimming Your Voltage: How to Show Up Fully on Stage
Are you shrinking your presence without even realising it? Your host Kate Wolf reveals the 13 hidden ‘Power Edits’ that sabotage speakers and shows you how to break the cycle, own your authority, and electrify any audience. In this episode of Electric Voices, discover the subtle habits that undermine your power on stage, from rushing to pre-apologising to laughing off your insights, and learn practical ways to step into your fullest presence.
Explore the tension between being “too close” (eager to be liked) and “too far away” (staying distant and professional) and why the secret to magnetic speaking lies in holding your ground between these extremes.
What’s inside:
- The 13 most common ‘Power Edits’ speakers make and how to spot them
- Why we unconsciously undermine ourselves when the stakes rise
- How to find the balance between being likable and being respected
- Practical advice for rewiring your habits and watching yourself back
- What true presence looks (and feels) like on stage

Meet your host
From professional clown to six-figure founder, speaker mentor and creator of The Electric Speaker Academy, I help brilliant women become more publicly powerful without disconnecting from themselves in the process.
Because the problem is rarely talent. It’s the moment visibility causes a woman to start editing herself in real time.
With a background spanning theatre, business, and the kind of deep identity work that makes both possible, my work sits at the intersection of speaking, craft, and commercial power. I help women move away from polished self-protection and performative expertise, and become an Electric Speaker whose presence transforms the room.

A letter, once a week. Not a newsletter you skim and delete. A voice in your inbox.
I write about the things nobody in the coaching world will say plainly. Why “different” is the wrong thing to obsess over, and what actually matters. Why the imperfect real beats the imaginary perfect every time. The sales tactics I understand, could use, and categorically will not.
Some weeks it’s a story. Some weeks it’s a stand. Always it’s the truth as I see it, and an invitation to see yourself more clearly.
If you’ve got integrity running through you like a stick of rock, and you’re done letting people with less of it have the limelight, this is your letter.
