Episode #82 - How To Use Your Voice To Inspire Others with Dr. Karen Lang

This is one of my favorite things to talk about - sharing your
voice. Nothing gets me more excited than empowering women to be
bold, confident and brave enough to really elevate their message
and their voice. So love it!

So of course I had to jump at the chance to have Karen come on and
talk about the very thing I so love.

Guest Appearance - Dr. Karen Lang

Karen Lang, Ph.D. focuses her life’s work on helping teen girls and
college-bound young women identify their sparks--purpose, talents,
dreams, and passions--and to have strong voices in their lives and
communities. Her business, SparkVoice, provides research-based and
heartfelt mentoring, inspiration, and life tools to strengthen
women’s confidence and ignite their bright futures. Her
dissertation study on Voice and Women’s Advocacy sparked her dream
to offer in-person camps and online workshops for young women
navigating the pressures of today’s culture and to rewrite girl
culture where needed--to celebrate instead of compare, collaborate
instead of compete, and connect instead of isolate.

Action Tip For This Episode
Watch your listening skills in life and work on improving them
because that's how people feel loved. That's how people feel seen.
That's how you'll connect. We all want more connection and when we
really listen and ask a good follow-up question. People feel loved
when we come back around and say hey, you told me that news, where
are you this week with it? Nothing fills up our tank like that in
my experience. So really listening to be a noticer is kind of a
good mantra.
