❤️😊brought our work to the coffee shop this morning 😊❤️ I'll be leading this new group that starts tomorrow evening...if you want to become a better speaker by the fall, I hope you'll join us! #Repost @speakersisterhood with @repostapp ・・・ 3 Reasons to Join Speaker Sisterhood’s Virtual Club:⠀ ⠀ 1. The timing is PERFECT. We will be kicking off our 10-week program on July 17th and wrapping up September 25th. That means YOU can become a better speaker before the 4th quarter of 2017 begins.⠀ ⠀ Book those speaking gigs. Promote your business. Share your knowledge. Speak on that panel.⠀ ⠀ You have important things to say and no one will hear them if you don’t speak up. Our club will meet weekly on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm EST. Get a boost of encouragement while kicking off your week right!⠀ ⠀ 2. Connection. You will get to meet like-minded women who share some of the same challenges as you. Believe it or not, we all have fears surrounding sharing our voice. Sometimes it’s the confidence, sometimes its finding the right words, often times it’s both. No matter the case, you improve with practice.⠀ ⠀ Why not spend your practice time connecting with women around the world in a space that allows you to be yourself and receive valuable feedback?⠀ ⠀ 3. Comfort & Convenience. You can learn public speaking from the comfort of your own home, while finding your voice, AND gaining confidence along the way!

Why did you join the Speaker Sisterhood? I love all things Angela! . . What do you love about it? The women in the group and their stories are amazing. Hearing them speak their truth has been a gift to me. I’ve found a safe environment to find my voice. . . How has becoming a member helped you? It’s helped on many different levels. When we begin to find the words to describe our life experiences, we grow. We are able to reframe difficult experiences and celebrate joyful ones. There is a power found in being seen and heard. As an acupuncturist, the Speaker Sisterhood has enabled me to find words to explain how I help people reclaim their power to heal, and how I lived with chronic fatigue syndrome for 9 years and how that experience introduced me to acupuncture. (I liked treatments so much that I went back to school to get a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and fully recovered from CFS.) As a person, the Speaker Sisterhood has helped me find words to describe the painful loss of both my parents, as well as my funny and touching memories of them. As a woman, it has helped me find solace in a group of exceptional, like-minded sisters. Have you experienced any surprises or unexpected benefits since becoming a member? It has truly been a journey. We go deep. I have become more conscious of the power of language. It has been a privilege to witness my “sisters” transform from hesitant, shy speakers into funny, quirky, comfortable communicators of their stories and the fullness of their lives. . . Why should someone else join? To be seen and heard. . .
