Speak Like It Matters Podcast
Welcome to Speak Like It Matters (formerly Visionary Voice) — the podcast for courageous, purpose-driven leaders who want to communicate with clarity, confidence and credibility.
I’m Csilla Muscan, public speaking coach, storyteller, and the creator of the 'You Are The Message' framework.
Here’s the deal: If you want to be the kind of speaker who leads with clarity, connects with depth, and actually gets remembered—you’re in the right place.
This isn’t about fluffy pep talks or recycled TEDx tips.
This is about building a message that resonates, a presence that commands, and a voice that leads—whether you're speaking on stage, on camera, or in a client conversation.
If your message feels unclear, your delivery falls flat, or you're tired of blending in with the sea of “experts” out there, this show will help you sharpen your voice and show up like it matters.
🎯 New episodes weekly.
🎙️ Practical tools. Real stories. Honest conversations.
Let’s turn your voice into your greatest leadership asset.
Ready to speak with impact? Hit play—let’s get to work.

Good Story vs. Right Story: Know the Difference
Not every good story belongs in your talk. I know, I know! But it’s true.
I’ve seen too many leaders confuse “funny” or “entertaining” with impactful. The result? Their audience remembers the laugh but forgets the message.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the sneaky ways we sabotage our own talks by choosing the wrong stories.
And don’t worry, I’m not just here to call you out. I’m here to hand you the tools so your next story actually lands.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Why a hilarious story might actually undermine your authority (yep, Uncle Bob, I’m looking at you).
- How to start your story in the exact moment that matters without the ten-minute “let me back up” monologue.
- The “mirror test” that shows you if your story connects or if it’s just self-therapy in disguise.
Think of this episode like tough love with a side of strategy.
Because you don’t need more stories, you need the right ones. The kind that stick.
The kind that shift people. The kind that make you unforgettable for all the right reasons.
Your audience deserves better than the “lost luggage in Chicago” saga. And honestly? So do you.
