We all have an important voice that needs to be heard. As women, we are often socialized to shrink ourselves and stay quiet. But your voice can inspire others and move important conversations forward. In today's episode of How Women Inspire, I discussed my journey of finding my voice through public speaking challenges. It took courage and support from my team to step outside my comfort zone. I see how sharing my experiences and insights can encourage other women. Whether speaking up in meetings, writing articles, or doing a podcast, using your platform to spread your message is valuable. I challenge you all to find ways to share your truth this year. Our voices united can reshape narratives and break down barriers facing women. Who will you inspire by letting your light shine through? I'm cheering you on as you step boldly into visibility and leadership. Our voices matter - now is the time to use them. ➡ Follow How Women Lead ➡ Follow How Women Invest https://lnkd.in/gv4pYAmK
