Today, we’re joined by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Coach Erica Courdae in a conversation that will make it easier for you to keep speaking up ~ especially if you’re scared you’ll mess up.

This is to get us into imperfect action…even that thoughtful, caring side of ourselves that second-guesses what we share and just wants to say it the “right” way.

What I learned from Erica:

Being in conversation with people who don’t look, live or love the way that you do is essential for us to collectively get to a place where no one has to feel othered. 

Listen in.

Erica and I talk about:

• How to avoid going down the shame spiral of, “Oh no, I did that wrong!”
• The ableist phrase I unconsciously used in our conversation…that’s common in the leadership community
• Why what you watch on tv, the music you listen to, the brands you trust, and the experts you follow all affect your strength as an ally
• Where Erica sees well-intentioned people mess up when using a DEI framework
• How to discern when to speak up and when to pass the mic
• Why the change is mostly NOT happening in the comments on Instagram or Facebook — and how to redirect your actions
• When it’s okay to rest your voice 

Deeper support from me:

• What’s your Messenger Archetype? Take the quiz.
• My Messenger Mastermind is an intimate circle of up to 6 women coaches & leaders who want to feel solid, confident & consistent in their messaging and grow a movement that matters ~ both to the world and to their business’ bottom line.
• As a Copywriter + Messaging Expert, I craft websites that make your dream clients feel SEEN and convey the true value and impact of your work so that it moves them to sign up.
