The Art of Speaking Up

182 | Meetings: from shy and timid to speaking powerfully and getting noticed (mastering meetings, part 1)

There is nothing that will propel your career forward more than having a powerful voice in that meeting room. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m walking you through exactly what you need to do to have a meeting presence that gets you noticed and makes you feel like a bold and powerful leader.  And don’t worry – you do NOT need to be perfectly polished & confident 100% of the time – you just need to be willing to learn what it takes to show up as a true leader.  And in this episode, I’ll show you how. 

 

I hope you enjoy this episode!

181 | Why trying to sound smart in meetings isn’t a good idea (and what to do instead)

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!

180 | How to navigate impostor syndrome and self-doubt

The solution to self-doubt and impostor syndrome is NOT to eliminate it, but simply to make sure it doesn’t unintentionally sabotage the growth of your career.  You have so much talent to offer and SO much potential to do big things in your role, and learning to navigate impostor syndrome will help you do that much, much faster.  In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my #1 most effective tool for navigating self-doubt and impostor syndrome.  No matter how strongly you might believe that you’re the unlucky one whose impostor syndrome is just too big to tackle, I beg to differ….and in today’s episode I want to try to show you that you might not be as stuck as you think you are (and give you some tools to help you prove that to yourself, as well).

 

I hope you enjoy this episode!

177 | How to navigate the fear of fumbling your words

One of the biggest fears I hear about from this community is the fear of fumbling your words during a meeting.  And I totally get this –it can be pretty terrifying to speak before you know exactly what’s going to come out of your mouth.

 

The good news is, fumbling your words is something that will happen less and less as you deepen your ability to speak off-the-cuff and as you learn to adopt a more confident mindset.  In this episode, I’m walking you through how to do that, and hopefully, easing the pressure you might feel to sound perfect when you speak.

 

I hope this episode helps you shed some stress and feel more confident in those meeting rooms!

Executive communication is a skill that ANYONE can master – even if you feel like speaking up isn’t necessarily your strong suit.  I know that being in meetings with more senior leaders and executives can feel super scary – but the good news is – learning to speak in a way that impresses them is right within your reach.  In this week’s episode, I walk you through the basics that you’re going to want to master when it comes to communicating with your boss, leaders, and higher-ups at your company.  With a little bit of practice and intention, you can transform your words into what feels like magic to those around you.  And when you do this, your confidence and your professional reputation will begin to soar.

175 | How to have a super powerful voice in meetings WITHOUT being loud

Today’s topic FIRES me up because there are some very confused people out there in Corporate America telling women that in order to be more compelling, they need to be LOUD.  Um – what?! This is beyond untrue – in fact, focusing on being loud dilutes your natural presence and power as a speaker.  In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how to build a badass presence when you speak up in that meeting room WITHOUT having to speak in a weird, fake, loud, artificial voice.  If anyone ever tells you that you need to be louder – throw that person out the window.  Just kidding – don’t do that.  Just come back and listen to this episode (and maybe share it with them, too – to help set them straight 😉)

 

I hope you enjoy this episode, and thank you SO much for tuning into the podcast this week.

173 | Why it’s so hard to feel competent (even if you’re pretty good at what you do)

Questioning your competence is not only exhausting and emotionally draining – but it can prevent you from creating the career that you’re truly capable of.  I’ve seen woman after woman get stuck in a pessimistic, inaccurate view of her own competence – wrongly believing that she just isn’t as good at her job as everyone else around her. While this sense of inadequacy can FEEL really real, it usually isn’t rooted in objective reality and it’s usually the symptom of some deeper mindset challenges which are COMPLETELY in your power to address.  Today I’m walking you through the mindset pitfalls that can cause you to feel chronically incompetent, so that you can begin to break out of them and finally trust that you have everything you need to THRIVE in your job and career.
