Priya Sam is the Host & Founder at Unleash Your Voice, where she helps ambitious women in six-figure corporate roles who struggle with being overlooked and undervalued step into undeniable executive presence and unlock the promotions, visibility, and compensation they truly deserve. Her signature Power Story Framework is a key part of all of her programs as she helps her clients identify what truly sets them apart, articulate their leadership with confidence, and stop disqualifying themselves from opportunities they’re ready for.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
→ What the “articulation gap” is and why talented women keep getting overlooked because of it
→ Why experience alone doesn’t win interviews if you can’t clearly communicate impact
→ How vague, overly collaborative language can make you sound more junior than you are
→ The exact questions that uncover hidden value in your career stories
→ How one client turned a weak interview answer into a $250K offer
📝 Power Story and Presence Workshop
Inside the Power Story and Presence Workshop, you’ll learn how to uncover your strongest career stories, communicate executive-level value, and stop minimizing your impact in interviews, networking, promotions, and leadership conversations.
