The Interview Shift That Makes You Sound Confident (Without Trying Harder)

Interviews are not a test, and the moment you stop treating them like one, everything changes: your confidence, your answers, and the energy in the room. In this video, I’m breaking down the mindset shift that helps you interview like a decision-maker, not a nervous candidate.

You’ll also learn practical ways to stay grounded and stand out, including why taking notes during the interview can work in your favor, why I still recommend a thank-you email, and high-impact questions you can ask that signal you’re seasoned and strategic.

If you’re preparing for interviews and want to show up calm, clear, and compelling, this is for you.
