How do you want to be perceived?
This TED talk was led in March 2020.
“Speaking without apology is giving yourself 2- seconds to think about what you want to say next or maybe not at all and letting radio silence loom above you creating an uncomfortable, awkward…SILENCE.“
Speaking without Apology is one of the major components of Gutsy Leadership Academy, a professional learning program here at In Our Shoes. It is first-class poised communication that develops executive presence (even if you are not seeking an executive role). Whether you are communicating with clients, peers, management, prospects, business partners – you are leading, showing up in a powerful way no longer just contributing to a conversation, but driving it. As someone in a leadership role or seeking more leadership, it’s a non-negotiable to be more vocal with your recommendations and opinions and consistently speak up in your day to day. How well you speak up is also found when you interview. Interviewing for a job or maybe selling why you are the best consultant for a project or program.
You raise your profile in business when you find your voice and share your expertise, your knowledge, your know-how, your lessons learned with those who most need to learn from you.
