What is the power of your voice?

It is so much more than
what you say.

Your voice is multi-dimensional— it’s how you how you talk to yourself in hard moments; it’s how you connect to + inspire others; it’s how you lead; and it’s how you show up in your community + the world.

Your voice is the most powerful tool you have. It’s the vehicle by which you connect your purpose to your values, + amplify that out into the world.

Whether you are delivering a talk to inspire a generation, raising funds for important work, launching a business, navigating a major transition, or seeking to re-ground in your purpose, connecting to your authentic voice is a catalyst. In social impact work, we often think, “it’s not about me.” While this is true in many ways, in order to be effective + in solidarity as changemakers + leaders, we must have clarity + transparency around our why — our voice.

Cultivating your voice requires a deep relationship with self through mindful awareness + trust. It calls for courage + a commitment to showing up skillfully in alignment, time + again. The work entails remembering who you are *fully* so you can remained grounded in that.

When you amplify your voice from that place, it has real power— power to inspire, mobilize, + transform.
