9. Speaking More Boldly to Grow Your Visibility and Influence with Leanne Davies

10. What To Say When You Don't Know What to Say (And Why You Know More Than You Think)

In this episode of 'She Speaks to Scale,' I'm tackling a popular topic when it comes to holding back from using your voice - what to say when you don't know what to say. Not knowing what to say can keep you invisible, cause you to turn down media opportunities and stop you from speaking in the way you really want to. It means you haven't yet built the toolkit to make sure you always have something ready to say. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in television production and as a communication coach, I'm sharing the practical strategies I use with my own clients to make sure they are never lost for words. In this episode, I share: 🎙️Why you already know more than you think and why speaking opportunities don't require you to reinvent the wheel 🎙️How to return to your mission when inspiration runs dry 🎙️Why relevance is everything and how to make what you do matter right now 🎙️How to answer the question 'why me?' with confidence 🎙️The power of personal stories, lessons learnt and client wins and why they are some of your most powerful speaking tools About the Host: Sarah Collins is a Media Trainer, ICF-Accredited Communication Coach, former Senior TV Producer for ITV and ITN and now host of the She Speaks to Scale podcast.
