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.
