Women's Empowerment School


Nov 18, 2019

Our world faces complex problems that simply cannot be solved with the same thinking that got us here. We desperately need diverse voices to tackle crises like large-scale conflict and climate change. And while we may consciously believe that women have the same right as men to lead with our words, many of us still hesitate, fearful of how we might be perceived or convinced that our ideas aren’t good enough. So, how do we learn to trust ourselves and feel safe in sharing our truth?

Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia is sharing the tenth chapter of her book, 12 Leadership Powers for Successful Women, ‘The Power of Your Word.’ She explains why our subconscious minds are still programmed with the outdated stereotypes of 7K years of patriarchy, making us believe that it isn’t safe for women to speak out, and addresses the perception around women who talk often versus men who speak up regularly.

Sylvia goes on to walk us through the ten habits for embracing the power of your word, challenging us to claim our own ideas, speak from our power center, end negative self-dialogue, and create alliances with other powerful leaders. Listen in for insight into celebrating the sensual joy of speaking your truth and learn how change your story, stop hiding and share the power of your words!
