We all strive to be effective communicators, but sometimes, those annoying filler words can get in the way. They sneak into our speech without us even realizing it. 

In this episode, we will cover a different approach for eliminating your fears and filler words. You will learn the power of pause. And how to practice your presentation for more lasting change. 

Consider, the more you pay attention and become mindful of where you are at in sentence structure, ask yourself, are you connecting to the feeling of your words, and of being confident?

Notice that when you are using filler words, you may be be feeling less confident. So shift your focus, and connect to your heart. The more connected you are with what you are sharing, the more naturally your words will flow.

Once you become comfortable, I encourage you to take the next step. Let go of the script, Conscious of that internal connection, knowing you have all the right words at your disposal. Trust your intuition and voice to allow you to be your most authentic you.

Speak from that place of heart, mind and soul and you truly are the master.

Learning how to say no may save you from burn-out and mis-understanding the myth to success.

Sarah highlights paying attention to our intuition, what is your body talk saying, and when those sacred messengers are showing us; through pain and discomfort that it’s time to rest, so we can rejuvenate and recharge.

Guilt can be that old and outdated inner voice, so unlock your most powerful you and shift that inner critic to one that speaks with confidence inside and out.

You can be successful without being that overworked leader heading for burn-out.

Jacqueline Pruitt, the successful owner of a rebar company, shares her story about how being one of the only females in the field has helped her build grit and resilience. She shares the importance of building alliances with those around her when feeling out of place.

About the Guest:

Jacqueline Pruitt, founder, and owner of Marvella Steel Placers (MSP) starts her day at 6 a.m., sitting at a desk in front of the computer in her spacious, yet sparsely decorated office in Signal Hill.

Behind her sits a fish tank where her turtle “Shelley” lives. Behind the tank is a poster visible through the water with Martin Luther King Jr.’s image and the words: “I Have A Dream.” But Pruitt has more than a dream. As one of only a handful of female-owned and Black-owned rebar installation companies, the Long Beach native is a trailblazer as well as a no-nonsense boss.

Hers is a track record to make any company owner proud, but Pruitt has bested unusually long odds.

When she was younger, she took several wrong turns. She wrestled with drug use and homelessness and was in and out of jail. That life ended on May 19, 2003.

“I got arrested at one of the places I used to hang out,” Pruitt said. “The idea to shoot up drugs was in my mind when the police came. A week prior I had broken down and asked God to help me. Thankfully, my parole officer sent me to treatment instead of jail. It worked.”

Since then, Pruitt has been sober. If not for the courage she mustered to turn her life around, MSP would have never been a dream. With her commitment, came a business model that has stood her in good stead.

“We perform safely and do high-quality work in the field and in the office,” she said. “We are professional; we remain in compliance, have reasonable prices, and we work with our customers and provide certification if their project needs to meet certifications.”
