The Art of Speaking Up

This week’s podcast episode is my fieriest one yet. Here’s why: corporate america is sometimes really bad at helping women develop a stronger executive presence, and to be honest - the old-school philosophies that many companies have when it comes to women and executive presence makes me mad. So often, women are guided to hide their authentic selves and police the sounds of their voices in ways that are massively unhelpful and disempowering. The good news? There’s a much better and more empowering way to develop an authoritative voice that actually sounds and feels like YOU, and this week, I’m diving into just that. I hope you enjoy this one - I definitely did ;-) If you want to develop a captivating yet authentic executive presence from the inside out, The Art of Speaking Up Academy is where you want to be.

Today’s episode is super foundational for those of you who want to rise up and learn to feel comfortable taking up more space in your career. The truth is that getting promoted and advancing upwards is about so much more than just getting the title – it’s about becoming the version of you who can step into that expanded role, and who knows that she can handle whatever gets thrown her way. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through why it’s so important to become the woman who can handle MORE before you actually go out and pursue that upwards path. My hope is that this episode will help you realize that no matter how scary growth might seem, with the right mindset, you are capable of handling absolutely anything.

I see so many women underestimating their talents because the areas that they struggle with are taking up so much damn space in their minds.

Tune into this week’s episode to deep dive into the mindset required to perform at your best even if you’re an imperfect human with some (*gasp*) flaws. Because spoiler: you don’t need to be flawless to do your job exceedingly well. I hope you enjoy this episode!

I don’t know about you, but I used to struggle SO much when kicking off meetings. For some reason, saying those first few sentences out loud to the group would cause me to feel so anxious and awkward. For years, I experienced so much dread around that experience. Things got much better for me when I found a way to kick off meetings that felt both powerful and authentic. In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through a simple formula that was a gamechanger for me when kicking off meetings. My hope is that you can use this tool to help ease the stress you might feel at the top of a meeting, and to find that powerful voice that’s somewhere inside you!

One of the biggest things that stops women from pursuing leadership and executive positions is fear of the unknown. When you’re stepping into a newer, bigger role, there are SO many unknowns – and if you struggle with impostor syndrome in your current role, advancing upwards can sometimes feel undesirable and overwhelming. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a perspective that I hope will normalize the fear AND encourage you to dream big and reach for more if professional growth and upwards promotions is something you desire. I hope to give you permission to OWN your desire for growth, and go after it, EVEN IF it feels like a stretch. Because the truth is – just because it’s a stretch – doesn’t mean it’s too much of a stretch for you. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Today’s episode continues my mini-series on standing out in meetings, and today we’re talking about one of the most important things for your career: authority. Authority means that when you speak, people quiet down and listen. They see you as being credible, and they actively tune in when you communicate because they trust that your perspective is important. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through what will help you convey authority when you speak, even if you are someone who identifies as being more on the shy or quiet side. The wonderful news is – no matter what your authentic communication style is – developing authority is totally possible and doable for you. I hope you find today’s episode super useful.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through why it’s so important to get more visible, and helping you begin to overcome some of the internal obstacles that might prevent you from speaking up and getting super visible in those meeting rooms.

Do you pressure yourself to sound super smart when you speak up in meetings? If you do – I want you to know that this is totally normal, and something we ALL do. We’re messy humans who want people to think positive things about us – so naturally, we sometimes get preoccupied with sounding smart when we speak. But - the problem with trying to sound smart when you speak is that it ends up causing you to sound LESS smart. In fact, focusing on sounding smart can really get in the way of you becoming a powerful communicator. In this week’s episode, I’m explaining why this is true, and suggesting a totally different (and far more effective approach) to dazzling your audience. And the good news is – it’s a lot easier than trying to sound smart. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!
