Four Powerful Shifts To Help You Use Your Voice & Speak Up With Confidence
Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
A current client of mine, shared with us that in her previous role, she'd all but stopped speaking up.
Not because she didn't have value to add, but because the environment had taught her that using her voice wouldn't take her anywhere, that it wasn't safe, and that she wouldn't be taken seriously.
So she made a quiet trade off. She'd write follow-up emails after meetings instead of contributing in the room, and she'd share her ideas behind the scenes, hoping that someone else might pick them up, listen to them, and maybe ask her to run with them.
When I heard all of this, it absolutely broke my heart. But it also reminded me that this isn't an isolated story. In fact, it's one that I see all of the time and at all the different stages of a woman's career from early leadership right through to the executive table.
Maybe you can relate?
Tun into this week's episode Four Powerful Shifts To Help You Use Your Voice & Speak Up With Confidence where we're going to be talking about using your voice, speaking up, owning your space, and trusting that what you bring to the table is valuable and saying the thing even if your voice shakes.
