For founders & leaders
You Can Have the Right Answer. And Yet, Send the Wrong Signal.
You can have the evidence. You can have the proof. You can have the credibility. You can have the valuation logic right. Those are only ingredients. In the end, the people who count aren't just asking if your numbers work. They're asking if you're the one. Get that signal wrong, and nothing else you show them matters. It happens every day
So the version of you they meet is the one you mean to be there.
Use them in the hallway, right before the room decides
if you're the one.
Before your next pitch, board meeting, or hard conversation.
Free, for founders and leaders
The Power Scene Pause
Who it's for
For founders and leaders who have the deck, know the numbers, and yet walk in wondering how to have the edge.
To make it go right.
This leads to a pass
You stand up. Your throat tightens. You talk too fast and say too much. Or you go flat, and the people in front of you wonder what they came here for. They check out.
This leads to a "let's talk more"
You walk in feeling like you are the right person in the right place. Your voice is steady. Your body signals the right things. The people in front of you lean in.
What it is
The Power Scene Pause takes 8 minutes
It's three questions that turn a pause into power before you open that door to walk in.
USE IT WHEN IT COUNTS
Use it before your next pitch, board meeting, or hard conversation.
Three questions that tell you
How to make sure your voice is confident, clear, distinctive, and engaging.
How to go beyond the pep talk in the car, so you feel present with your own authority when it counts.
How to make the one shift that helps you come across as the one.
"I think I'm going to throw up."
One founder said this a week before her pitch.
➡️ Paused. Did the Power Scene.
➡️ Walked in excited. The angels picked her for the final round.
"What would Jaydene say?"

"Before you go into the next stressful evaluative situation, configure your brain to cope the best in that situation."➡️Pause. Do the Power Scene. ➡️Enjoy your success.
Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy studied this exact moment and came to the conclusion that the outcome depends on the person’s inner state, not the pitch. Her advice: (NPR, Hidden Brain)
