Why Smart People Don’t Speak Up
Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have for influence.
When you speak with confidence, verbalise your thoughts with clarity, share your ideas and put yourself forward, your ability to lead and inspire others rises. You gain the capability to take charge, make the difference you would like to make, communicate your message with impact, and inspire yourself and those around you.
However, speaking with confidence, delivering a message with impact and having your voice heard, is not always easy.
You may hold yourself back in presentations, when speaking in front of groups, or when someone with more perceived power is present in the room. These barriers get in the way of living and leading your best life.
In this presentation Sharon unpacks why smart people don’t speak up and provides the audience with key strategies for breaking through these barriers, finding their voice and accelerating their influence.
Ideal for communication skills and leadership events.

Self Talk Mastery – Ignite the Power of Your Voice
Speaking up, sharing your thoughts and ideas, and speaking to be heard are essential ingredients for making the difference you were born to make, bringing your best self to work, home and relationships, and providing the inspiration to lead others to greatness.
To speak up with confidence and deliver your message with conviction, not only do you need a supportive and conducive external environment, you need an encouraging and compassionate internal environment.
