The exact text, line breaks and all

I was holding back, not speaking up and not speaking my truth. I was not confident that I had the correct words to say, always second-guessing what I was saying. Looking at those I considered "smarter" to confirm I used the correct word or words. All of those words I heard when I was younger, "you are stupid", rushed back in when put on the spot to speak.

I began feeling like what I had to say mattered. And that I knew exactly what to say and that the words I was using were in fact, correct. I started speaking with more confidence and strength. I started standing taller and in a gentle way, commanding more respect.

I feel the confidence and it comes through in all aspects of my life. In my work, in my relationships, in my written and verbal thoughts. I am proud to say I am a GRADUATE of the Speaking and Influence Mastery Program of 2026. Book me!
