Featuring Ziza Natur & Ruth Heron
Our experts share their advice for women leaders and speakers:
Ziza suggests “1. Embrace the process of discovering yourself and your authentic voice – this is the first and most important step (and very often the hardest!)
2. Align your message with your audience’s current needs and struggles, and meet them halfway by sharing clear and actionable steps to help them move forward (I always recommend small steps instead of huge leaps)
3. Be open to showing up in as many places as possible and embrace the messiness of beginnings – you’re experimenting and prototyping towards the perfected version of your brand
4. See every first attempt as the first pancake – messy, but highly necessary for a future delicious stack of pancakes”
Ruth shares “Make your default, ‘yes I can!’
1. Better understand yourself, what makes you fulfilled and valued
2. Identify your strengths and make them work for you.
3. Practice self reflection, use this to improve and develop
4. Establish clarity in what you want to do.
5. Actively move away from negative self talk.
6. Find experts in your field and learn from them.
7. Develop and maintain strong stakeholder relationships
8. The career that you pursue must align with your strengths and values
9. Start as you mean to go on.
10. Be accountable”
