Finding And Using Your Voice: The Art Of Advocacy

Growth

Have you ever been afraid to use your voice? All of us have been in a situation where we wish we had said something differently or spoke up when we didn't. How do we know when we need to speak up and what's the best way to go about it? How do we avoid regret when we don't speak up?

There are so many reasons why it's important to practice using your voice in your work. As entrepreneurs, we (sometimes unknowingly) become advocates for ourselves, our teams and our clients. If we enter the business world without learning how to speak up for ourselves, people will take advantage of that.

However, it also becomes important to consider why we are having the conversations that we are having. Are we holding conversations that are going to help further our clients toward their goals? Are we holding conversations that are going to improve and better our team?

This week's episode explores the intricacies of speaking up. How do we know when we need to speak up and what's the best way to go about it? How do we avoid regret when we don't speak up? Grab your cocktail and listen in to this week's episode on the role of the entrepreneur as an advocate.

The Leading Role

Whiskey

This cocktail mixes scotch, whiskey and Pimm's with lime and agave to create one strong concoction of a cocktail. With a flavor profile this strong, it's easy to see how The Leading Role got its name. The Leading Role demands to be heard (tasted?) and doesn't disappoint. The lime juice and agave nectar balance out the strong alcohol to make one easy sipping drink.
