How To Find Your Voice When Stakes Are High

The other day I was speaking with a woman who sits on a board of education in Canada. They were underway with a new initiative pre-pandemic that is now looking like it has a much greater application than she had originally thought. The initiative is highly political and deeply needed in the school systems. She’s very passionate about it.

Now there is this new pressure to move into high gear and capture the opportunity in front of them. Plus, she like many of us, is stuck at home with lots of distractions from the family.

Her question to me, how do I find my voice?

I thought this is a great question because how many people have known exactly what to do and what to say but just can’t get at it? The fear of offending someone that you’re trying to empower by saying the right thing but in the wrong way can be a show stopper (and not in a good way). This video is about how to find your voice when the pressure is on.
