Oct 07, 2026 Momentum Leaders

Nobody tells you that the moment right before you speak up is the exact moment your leadership actually starts.

In this episode of Momentum Matters, we dive into takeaways from the Momentum Leaders Upward Program in Huntsville, Alabama—a leadership development program designed for early- to mid-career women ready to step into their full potential.

We break down the 6 subtle voice-diminishing habits that quietly undercut your authority, along with practical ways to reframe them.

Plus, hear insights from an Upward alum on how self-reflection and community build confidence both professionally and personally.
