There are professional challenges that all women in the professional arena face each day. There are many reasons, both culturally and socially, why we lose our voices. Although we can’t change society quickly, we can rediscover our natural authentic vocal power! There are many books and seminars for women on various issues concerning women’s professional challenges, all encouraging us to speak up, own our power, lean in, push back, take our place, take our seat, have confidence and have presence. But the question remains: How exactly does a woman do this? How does a woman overcome years of habitual ways of thinking and behaving, to find a clear, strong voice that conveys confidence, presence, and authentic power? Empowering Women’s Voices consists of sequential exercises that work on our body’s muscle memory to actually learn to speak in a new and more effective way.
