If you've historically found it challenging to express yourself powerfully as an empath, this episode of The Prosperous Empath® is for you. Dr. Susan Laverick is a sought-after communications consultant with a background spanning Citigroup and the BBC in London to the international sector of Geneva. She trains peacebuilders, NGOs and future leaders to become effective communicators and speak with gravitas. Do you feel that you have a lot to say but find it difficult to figure out how to actually articulate your thoughts (or believe that your message is worth sharing)? By the end of this episode, you'll feel motivated to embody who you are and communicate your essence with conviction so you can have a deeper impact on your community and become a better leader.

Topics:

• Susan's story of reinventing herself after unexpectedly losing a career - harnessing her love of language, leading to a doctorate in English, and eventually establishing a Geneva-based communications consultancy for the peacebuilding and NGO sectors.
• The importance of self-actualization and claiming your value, instead of modestly ignoring it, through giving to others most in need of the professional support you alone can provide.
• Understanding your ethos, "the real you", becoming proud of this, and conveying this confidence and authenticity to an audience
• How body language enhances audience connection and reflects a speaker's individuality.
• The importance of becoming audience-centric, rather than speaker-centric, to spark audience engagement, and how to keep it alive it with strong, and compelling messages
