Speaking without Apology - TED Talk 

Speaking without Apology is a TED Talk led by motivational keynote speaker, Marisa Santoro.  Discover how your dialogue and internal self-talk impact how you are perceived and is affecting your assertiveness and confidence levels. Learn to recognize ways in which you can detach from the language which feeds into the “Sorry Syndrome” – apologetic words that imply inadequacy rather than exemplifying strength. Learn how subtle tweaks in your speech can springboard you from diluting your value to spotlighting your assets. This talk will empower you to master your mindset on how you see yourself, instinctually speak with intention and clarity, upgrading your communication style and positively influencing how others respond to you immediately. TED Talk Women's Leadership Speaker
