232 | How to find your voice when you feel like the least competent person in the room

Do you ever find yourself sitting in a meeting, feeling like an outsider and wondering if you’re supposed to be participating?

 

When you’re not the most experienced person in the room, it can be tricky to figure out whether you’re supposed to be joining in the conversation, and what you’re supposed to say.  So you end up keeping quiet and being more of an observer, but then later you get feedback that you need to be more vocal in meetings.

 

If you feel stuck on how you’re supposed to have a voice in rooms where you feel like an outsider to the conversation, this week’s podcast episode is for you.  In it, I’m walking you through how to figure out how much to participate in a meeting, and the key mindset shift you’ll want to make in order to exude leadership and presence.

 

I hope you enjoy this one!

230 | Why you DON’T need to work harder or be more skilled to thrive in an executive role

228 | Executive presence: why the old-school corporate approach makes me mad + how to find a voice that’s AUTHENTIC

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 ;-)
