Before the Own Your Voice Program, I struggled with fear of public speaking for over 10 years. I also found it hard to set boundaries and have the tough conversations that needed to happen at work, often being "too nice".
In just the first few weeks of coaching and huddling with the OYV circle, I received this strong support which made me feel that I am so ready to speak up and conquer the world (very dramatic but that’s how I truly feel). I was able to initiate conversations with authority figures at work with so much conviction and confidence.
Today, I no longer get caught up with how people think of me, removing my fear of judgement. I no longer simply "go with the flow", but now communicates my career goals with my boss. I'm able to speak up as my authentic self.

"I used to refrain from sharing my opinions, afraid of being judged. Now, I am initiating conversations with industry experts with more than 10 years of experience compared to me!"
Jonathan, Analyst, now Flight attendant
I once blanked out and started trembling during an interview for my dream job. Since then, I've struggled with perfectionism and am unable to think on the spot.
I've learnt how to rewrite my limiting beliefs, and now, I can share my thoughts impromptu, without a script! My friends noticed that conversations with me are more lively and interesting, and I build rapport so much better during my work meetings.
"I used to be so uncertain when I speak. I felt that my opinions didn't matter. Now, I share my story on social media and have prospects direct-messaging me!"
I used to compare myself with other Financial Advisors because they were more extroverted, unlike me.
'I used to see public speaking as an insurmountable fear that caused my voice and hands to literally tremble. Now, I am hosting my own book club leading discussions on issues close to my heart!"
Lis, Public Servant, PMET
In the past, the very thought of public speaking made me anxious. I would over-prepare for days but still feel that I didn't present well.
Now, I no longer see public speaking as a "terrible evil". I see it as a way to connect, to share, to give, to learn. This paradigm shift helped me see the beauty in my unique voice, and gain confidence! I can now tell a story almost impromptu, with greater ease and natural humour.
I used to compare myself with other Financial Advisors because they were more extroverted, unlike me. Public speaking and sales were my greatest fears, I was always afraid of being judged.
Now, I truly believe there is value in my story. I've spoken in front of an audience of 300+, started leading my own team of advisors, and earned a Personal Production Award in my first year of business. I post video content regularly on social media and now have prospects direct messaging me, and get plenty of client referrals!
Coaching with Rae has changed my life. I did not think that finding my voice and trusting myself can change me but coaching with Rae has proven that.
