Changing What Power Sounds Like with Samara Bay
Manage episode 417304318 series 3556944
"Your voice is your power, and it's time to take up space with it!"
That's one of the many gems Samara Bay, bestselling author of Permission to Speak, dropped in this episode of Bright Voices in Business.
During my conversation with Samara, we explored the nuances of finding and using our authentic voices. Samara shared her insights on the importance of vocal presence, especially for women in business, and how we can cultivate it to stand out and be heard. We discussed the societal expectations that often dictate how we should sound and the courage it takes to break free from those constraints. Samara's approach to vocal empowerment is not just about speaking louder; it's about speaking truer.
Join us to be inspired to speak powerfully, and hear more about:
- Samara’s origin story of losing and regaining her voice - literally and figuratively - and how that’s influenced her work.
- The historical struggle for women's equality and its influence on present-day assertiveness.
- Overcoming gender stereotypes and the scrutiny of women's speech patterns in public speaking.
- Strategies for overcoming the fear of speaking up, taking up space, and sharing our own thoughts and perspectives.
- The role of authenticity in effective communication, and how we can cultivate our authentic conviction.
- Practical exercises to improve vocal presence and confidence.
Remember, your voice is not just a tool for communication; it's a reflection of your inner self. It's time to embrace it, nurture it, and let it resonate with the world. Keep shining and sharing your unique voice, because it truly matters!
