#01: Let's talk about speaking up & hard conversations

Helloooo friends, our first episode is officially here! Grab your morning coffee or settle in with a glass of vino as we unpack what it means to speak up and find your voice in the workplace.

That’s right, in today’s episode we wasted no time tackling the important stuff.

As women, we know it can be common to question our place. 

We can be plagued with thoughts like - Do I deserve to be here? Have I really earned this? Do I know enough to contribute?

It’s time to push those thoughts aside and remind yourself if you are at that table then you deserve to be there. Your opinion matters. 

So join us as we dive into the power of speaking up and effective strategies you can use when finding your voice.

We discuss:

What holds us back from speaking up?Why is it a red flag if no one is challenging you in the workplace?Why you shouldn’t see speaking up as a conflict situation.How to get in the right mindset before any crucial conversation.The importance of the words you choose - the ones you should be using and the ones to avoid.Plus, a super easy tip that will help you approach your next important conversation in a completely non-confronting way.
