Own The Room w/Tania Williams

Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Am I not as good as I think I am? Should I even be here? What if I speak up to share my advice and people disagree with me?   You’ll want to listen to my latest episode with Tania Williams.

Tania began her career as a prosecutor, transitioned into becoming a law school professor, then an appellate attorney, and now her clients’ personal guide to all things trial. So it’s pretty safe to say, she knows more than a thing or two about presenting and preparing for pushback and disagreement.

Plus considering, law is one of the least diverse industries in the country—Tania knows firsthand what it means to deal with the voice in your head that makes you feel like you’re not good enough.

During this episode we discuss:

  • Storytelling and courtroom tactics you can use to influence and engage people.
  • How to prepare for pushback and disagreement when you are presenting your ideas.
  • How she deals with being mistaken for a court reporter or defendant at work.
  • Why you should refer to “impostor syndrome” as an “imposter experience,” instead of a syndrome.
  • It’s not you, It’s them: How your work environment can foster feelings of unworthiness, inadequacy, and fears of being judged.
  • Why having conversations with yourself is one of the best tactics for owning the room with confidence.
  • The legendary rapper who helps her boost her confidence before trial
  • The surprising ways our background acts as a barrier to our success.
