Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies

406: Authenticity and Owning Your Story as Women with a Public Voice with Jennifer Adams and Sarah Henry


Listen Later

The Democratic National Convention is being held in Chicago this week and many Americans will be re-introduced to V.P. Kamala Harris when she delivers her speech on Thursday night.

I have a background in local Democratic politics and have always been a strong supporter of women running for office.

Earlier this summer, we held in-person workshops for women who are running in the Central Florida area where we helped them with their public speaking and storytelling.

It was a lot of fun and it showed me once again how powerful someone’s personal story is!

In this episode, I’m joined by two of those women, Jennifer Adams, who’s running for U.S. Congress in Florida’s District 7, and Sarah Henry, who’s running for Florida State House in District 38.

We talk about:

  • Why they decided to run for office and the importance of asking women to run
  • What it's like being a female candidate and having a public voice and presence
  • Their stump speeches and how they tailor them based on the audience
  • The surge of support and enthusiasm for V.P. Kamala Harris’s campaign for President and what that tells us about the importance of authenticity
  • The lessons they’ve learned about being themselves vs. trying to be someone they thought they should be
  • What they learned about storytelling, taking up space, and messaging from the workshops we did with then
  • The importance of donating to women candidates (find local women that you can donate to!)
