The Art of Speaking Up

Feeling invisible at work? Struggling to speak up or promote yourself without feeling awkward? In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Felicia Enuha of The Trill MBA Show for a bold, honest, and empowering conversation about confidence, communication, and showing up like a leader in corporate spaces. We talk about letting go of perfection, building visibility on your own terms, and the tactical skills that help you sound smart, clear, and powerful (even when you’re nervous). We cover: How to stop overthinking and start sounding confident, even when you’re scared (8:55) The emotional toll of not being seen or valued at work (12:45) Why your work alone isn’t enough, and how to self-promote without feeling gross (24:00) Practical frameworks that make you sound smart and clear on the spot (31:30) The link between visibility and leadership (42:35) How to push back without being labeled difficult (48:00) One simple phrase that builds trust and executive presence (54:10) Make sure to check out Felicia's work: Trill MBA podcast: Apple | Spotify Felicia's Website: https://trillmba.com/
