Welcome to Mic Drop Moments… a weekly podcast hosted by Sandra Garlick MBE, Business Growth & Visibility Strategist, Speaker Mentor, and Founder of Woman Who.
Often your journey into business doesn’t follow a straight line and you may have a few detours along the way. You’ve probably gathered a lot of knowledge, learned valuable lessons, and navigated obstacles and challenges. These are your stories, they are unique to you, and your learning evolves into your Mic Drop Moments.
Each episode is packed full of insights, inspiration, and stories and features content you can learn from and feel motivated to take that next step in life or business. Sandra chats to guests who share their stories to inspire others, including their Mic Drop Moments. She also hosts a number of solo episodes sharing business strategy and learning to inspire you to create your Mic Drop Moments too.
Sandra has been speaking on stages for over 25 years and has grown her personal brand, and several businesses, over the last few decades. She now shares her knowledge, her mistakes (learning curves), and Mic Drop Moments with you every Monday.
Sandra was awarded her MBE in the New Years’ Honours List 2020, one of her many Mic Drop Moments.

#246- Visible to Known: Are People Remembering You for the Work You Do Now?
Have you ever listened to someone introduce you and realised they’re describing the work you used to do?
They know you, like you and trust you. However, their understanding of your business hasn’t kept pace with how your work has evolved.
In this episode of Mic Drop Moments®, I share what this looks like in my own business as Woman Who® enters its next chapter and I make the distinction clearer between its awards and networking, and my work as a Speaker Mentor & Business Growth Strategist.
From people still asking whether I’m a solicitor to receiving recommendations for work I no longer deliver, I explore why an established reputation can take time to catch up with a new direction.
We look at how to help people understand your expertise today, recognise the opportunities you’re looking for, and recommend you for the work you want to do more of.
In this episode, I explore:
Why people remember you through their own experience of your work.
How accepting familiar work can keep reinforcing an association you’re ready to move beyond.
Why one announcement rarely gives your audience the full picture.
Finding the threads that connect your experience to your current expertise.
Recognising the value in skills and insights that come naturally to you.
Updating how you introduce yourself without waiting for a complete website refresh.
Giving yourself permission to shape your business around what you want next.
An exercise for the week ahead
Take a piece of paper and complete these three sentences:
People currently know me for…
I want to become more widely known for…
The connection between those two things is…
Then choose one action. Update your introduction, reconnect with a former client, or share an example that helps people understand an aspect of your expertise you rarely talk about.
If you’d like space to explore your next chapter, your messaging and the strategy behind it, get in touch to ask about the Amplify Experience.
Your Mic Drop Moment
Your reputation is built from what people have experienced of you so far. But your next chapter depends on what you help them understand now.
WHO AM I?
I’m Sandra Garlick MBE, Speaker Mentor and Business Growth Strategist, founder of Woman Who® and host of Mic Drop Moments®.
With over 25 years’ business experience, I help established business owners become known, trusted and in demand through strategic speaking, personal brand and meaningful relationships.
Through The Amplify Experience, I help you turn your expertise and stories into opportunities for business growth.

#245- Why Speaking Builds Authority Faster
Show Notes: Why Speaking Builds Authority Faster
Have you ever watched someone speaking on stage and thought, “I know just as much about this as they do” then immediately talked yourself out of putting yourself forward?
While they’re giving an audience the chance to understand their expertise, yours is still sitting in your head.
In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, I explore how speaking helps people experience your knowledge, follow your thinking and begin to trust you to help them.
Drawing on my years as a solicitor and more than 25 years of speaking, I share why clear explanations, relevant stories and sounding like yourself can make such a difference.
In this episode:
Recognising the value in knowledge you’ve started taking for granted.
Explaining your ideas in language your audience understands.
Showing people how you approach a problem.
Choosing what to leave out so your strongest point has room to land.
Connecting your story with what your audience is experiencing.
Handling questions when you don’t have every answer.
How my hearing loss shapes the way I approach audience questions.
Developing your speaking style without copying someone else.
Try this week
Choose one question you’re regularly asked about your work. Record yourself answering it, give an example and suggest a practical next step.
Listen back from the perspective of someone who needs your help. Could they follow your explanation? Did you get to the useful part? Did you sound like yourself?
Mic Drop Moment
The answer that feels obvious to you could be exactly what somebody else needs to hear.
You may have spent years doubting whether your voice matters, while someone else is still waiting to hear what only your experience can teach them.
Develop your speaking with me
My UK Speaker Mastery Retreat takes place in rural Lincolnshire on 9th–11th March 2027. This three-day, all-inclusive experience gives you dedicated time to plan, prepare, practise and deliver a keynote that feels entirely you and explore how speaking fits into your business strategy.

#244- From Hidden to High Profile
From Hidden to High Profile
Are you recognised for what you do—and could someone else explain why you’re the person to speak to?
In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, I share how speaking, relationships and consistent contributions help you become known for your expertise.
I’m seeing this happen in my own business, with invitations to speak at an SBS Bootcamp at NatWest, exhibit at the Festival of Entrepreneurs and join awards judging panels. These opportunities have grown from years of conversations, showing up, and creating opportunities for others.
We also talk about my shoes, what happened when the internet went down at Ideas Fest, and why people might still be introducing an earlier version of your business.
In this episode:
Becoming more intentional about where you spend your time and energy.
Helping people understand the work you want to be known for.
Finding speaking topics in the questions your clients already ask.
Connecting what makes you memorable with your expertise.
Building relationships through listening and thoughtful follow-up.
Making the most of invitations when they arrive.
How the Let’s Get Visible® ACCELERATE Academy connects learning with opportunities to put it into practice.
Your action this week
Ask someone you trust: “What would you recommend me for?”
Their answer could reveal how clearly your message is landing—and where it needs updating.

What would you love to become known for? And what could you do this week to help the right people recognise it?
