This week, I’m going to be talking about owning your own voice and speaking up. I think it's something that we as women can all struggle with and I know for me, even now, I can still struggle to say what I want and what I need. I know for many of my clients that when you're not speaking up, when you're not owning your voice and what you want to say is being internalized, that it can lead to feelings of frustration and resentment.
Here are the highlights:
(02:12) It’s down to us as women to speak up and role model that to other women
(05:05) It’s a really important step for women at the top to own their voice and speak up
(07:11) Why are women not be speaking up and owning their voice?
(11:51) Speaking up might not fit with your good girl belief framework
(13:14) There is a need to fit into a social hierarchy
(15:05) Think of your role models
(17:15) Practice the things that you find hard to say
(20:49) Know that you are the expert in what you do
(21:24) Use the 5-second rule
