Description

Everyone says, "Be bold. Be unapologetic."
But what does that really mean at work?

Boldness easily gets mistaken for arrogance or aggression. Then, when you speak up, people shut down.

You'll discover:
✔️ What "being bold and unapologetic" actually means in the workplace
✔️ How to assert yourself without damaging relationships
✔️ A simple, proven formula for bold, clear, and respected communication

Tune in to discover how to be heard, respected, and influential, without ever being seen as "too much."
