My communications career began with an unforgettable moment. I showed up to an interview wearing my “uniform” (black blazer, blue shirt, and black pants) only to learn… I was a day early.
I’m happy to report that I returned the next day, wearing the same uniform, and got the job. 😉
That role was an important part of my journey. It’s where I learned the power of voice and story, and what happens when you bring them together to create change.
But there’s more….
I also remember being afraid to speak up in meetings with leaders, electeds, and decision-makers. My voice would shake, and I would hold back because I worried about saying the wrong thing. Eventually, I learned to communicate with clarity, presence, and confidence.
