Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking for Women: 378: Changing the Story I Had Been Telling Myself about My 2016 TEDx Talk

378: Changing the Story I Had Been Telling Myself about My 2016 TEDx Talk

Mar 4, 2024

What’s an early memory of using your voice?

That's the question we kicked off our recent 3-day in-person client retreat with - and the women’s answers were incredibly powerful.

March is Women’s History Month and March 8th is International Women’s Day (#IWD2024), so this episode is about the power of women’s voices and stories to change the world.

From young women activists like Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg to pro-choice women who are running for office to women like YOU who are out there sharing your messages, ideas, and stories, women are making a positive difference in their industries and communities.

In this episode, I talk about:

The history-changing importance of women getting together to share their stories and experiences
The self-doubts that too often hold us back from using our voices
Why we need feminism more than ever
My recent realization of the story I had been telling myself vs. the bigger story of what happened when I delivered my TEDx talk about women and power in 2016
