Quietly Confident

A client shared recently that they felt less "confident when giving a pitch - I'm naturally quiet," they said, "I guess I just need to be louder." In their mind, confidence equated to loudness.

Have you felt this? If I am loud, I will seem more confident?

It is compelling when you speak with conviction; when you have something important to say and give that voice.

But loud, particularly if it is forced, is not confidence.
Ease is. Loud is a kind of tension, a pushing, a proving.
Vocal Flow is effortless.

For your next high-pressured conversation,
let's say confidence and competency are givens.
You don't have to BE either one, you already are.
Now-
Stand tall in your center and,
Speak your truth from your heart and your intelligence.
In other words, speak from your guts.

When you speak your truth from your heart and intelligence, your words carry an unparalleled power.
