Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the world of communication and how to master your voice in leadership positions with Dr. Laura Sicola. Dr. Laura Sicola is a leadership communication and influence expert, speaker, author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice, and host of the podcast, Speaking to Influence: Communication Secrets of the C-Suite. Her mission is to transform executives into confident, inspiring leaders. A cognitive linguist by background, she has trained and coached executives at Fortune 500 companies, and non-profit leaders from around the world.

Dr. Laura emphasizes that even the most accomplished and self-assured individuals can struggle when faced with significant tasks, underscoring her belief in the importance of what she terms the three C’s of executive presence: Commanding the room, Connecting with the audience, and Closing the deal.

She goes on to discuss the transformative power of shifting one's mindset from "What if" to "How can I serve?" This shift, she explains, can effectively address communication challenges in leadership roles.

Reflection Questions:

1. In what areas of your life or work can you offer genuine value and service to others? How might focusing on these opportunities enhance your sense of purpose and fulfillment?

2. How do you currently balance external validation with your own inner passions and motivations?
