How to Use Your Voice to Get What You Want

People don’t just judge you by what you say.  They judge you by how you say it. Your voice can make you sound powerful, clear, and confident OR unsure, distracted, and forgettable.

In this episode, Dr. Laura Sicola shows you how to unlock the most overlooked leadership skill: your voice.

You'll learn how to read the room, shift your delivery to fit the moment, and speak with conviction even in the tough conversations to get what you want.
We’re diving into how to introduce yourself in a way people remember, how to get your message across clearly, and how your voice can either amplify your presence or erase it.  If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wishing you said it differently or felt more in control, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for!
