Let's be real. Women face an uphill battle against bias. It is systemic, it is cultural, it is holding many women back from making moves that they want. My guest, Master Speaker Coach Laurie Schloff, helps women learn to use their voice as their superpower. In this episode, we talk about everything from the differences between men and women when it comes to communication, to the power of getting out of your comfort zone. A fun talk about an important issue, Laurie gives practical tips and tangible methods that women can start using today. As a man who supports women's efforts to make moves, I can tell you that this episode is just as much for men as it is for women. If we are going to help women make bold moves, we need support from all angles. It really is a cultural shift, and it's time to do your part. Join us and keep the conversation going. Tune in and "Get Notified."
