From Fear to Influence: How Tech Experts Can Own Their Voice

Описание: In this powerful episode of Return on Insights, host David Lindover sits down with Evgeniy Kharam, Chief Strategy Officer at Discern Security, to explore a challenge many in tech quietly face—the fear of public speaking and the struggle to connect beyond technical expertise.

Evgeniy shares his personal journey from hiding behind the screen to confidently leading with his voice. He unpacks why so many tech pros avoid unpredictable human interactions, and how mastering soft skills can unlock career growth, team influence, and personal confidence.

Listeners will learn practical strategies for turning fear into excitement, handling anxiety, and overcoming language or accent barriers. And in a refreshing twist, Evgeniy challenges the notion that only salespeople sell—reminding us that every conversation is an opportunity to influence.

This episode isn’t just about communication; it’s about transformation. It’s about learning through discomfort, connecting with empathy, and realizing that influence starts with simply showing up and speaking up.
