• What is at stake for people who lose their voice and the symptoms of losing one’s voice.
• Tools for being your own best advocate.
• The top 5 tips for getting words flowing in difficult situations.
• The power in nurturing your body and listening to what it is telling you.

Key Takeaways:

• The more you hold back from speaking up at work, the more you lose your voice in other aspects of your life as well.
• Be willing to share and be heard with no agenda and it will be received differently by others than if you go in defensively.
• Trust your knowing, trust your awareness and allow that awareness to assist you in making better decisions.
• Nurture your bodies. Your willingness to nurture yourself will assist your creativity.

"When you stop mimicking, you'll realize there's this authentic you. And when you're being authentic, and you're not trying to mimic anybody else, people actually listen to you longer." — Laleh Hancock
