39. The One Where We Learn to Use Our Voice

In this episode, I share reflections from a recent speaking workshop with Annelise McCarthy and the powerful reminders it gave me about communication, confidence, and using our voice.We speak every single day, yet so many of us have never really been taught how to communicate clearly, listen properly, or speak with confidence - especially in challenging or unfamiliar situations.I chat about some of the simple techniques I learnt, including: how to answer “What do you do?” more clearly the power of pausing before you speak reducing filler words speaking with more authority and the importance of truly listeningI also reflect on how these skills are just as important for our children as they are for us, and why communication is something we need to model, teach, and keep practising.I finish by sharing 3 simple questions that can help in moments of conflict or miscommunication - whether with children, partners, or colleagues.A practical and thoughtful episode that will leave you reflecting on how you use your own voice, and where communication in your life could be strengthened.📩 Connect with me🌐 www.victoria-r.com.au📧 [email protected]📱 Instagram: @the.victoria.r
