Tangible Takeaways:
Assume you have permission to lead: step out and go for it!Speak with conviction, and have a declarative tone. People will take you seriously if you sound confident.Punctuate your words when you speak! We do this naturally when writing an email. It’s the same when we speak. End with a period, and pause.Have a strong handshake and make direct eye contact. This is equally as important on zoom! In that case, it’s looking directly at the webcam.It is important to be decisive, and when you’re not sure, invite everyone into a brainstorming session with you. It’s more collaborative, and you’re not caught waffling.
