She Has A Voice – Junior League of Asheville
March 18, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Women seeking a bold and confident approach to their business and profession, know creating meaningful connections is key to gaining respect, making sales, and building a tribe of supportive colleagues, clients and team members. That requires confidence, calm, and the ability to present a compelling and well-articulated vision for the work the Junior League does in Buncombe County.
Women are especially vulnerable to beliefs rooted in cultural conditioning, to play small, speak softly and accommodate others. This belief system manifests itself in our posture, how we show up, and in how we frame our conversations and presentations.
In “She Has a Voice” Barrie leads attendees through interactive practices to help embody confidence, express authenticity, and articulate a compelling message. Barrie believes in living boldly. She knows you have something to say and she wants to help you say it!
In this 2-hr. session, attendees will:
Improve and expand speaking skills.
Understand how non-verbal communication undermines authority.
Apply proven methods to turn down nervousness and amplify poise and presence.
Learn and apply the framework of crafting a speech
Understand and utilize the persuasive power of stories.
