CHARISMA with Sherhara Downing: Behind the scenes of what we think about as public speaking coaches

Julie and Casey sit down with fellow public speaking and communication coach Sherhara Downing to talk all things charisma, finding your edges, and personal responsibility for creating environments and cultures that allow everyone to shine. 

 

TOP TAKEAWAYS: 

  • The Great Resignation is a moment to be able to reevaluate and articulate your value. Not understanding yourself combined with our societal conditioning is a combo that contributes to making self advocacy a terrifying proposition- and what to do about it.

  • Being conscientious of others is always welcome, but appeasing chips away parts of you. Learn to find the balance.

  • When you don’t INVITE intentionally, you are excluding. We are all responsible for building more inclusive cultures.

  • Mini-lesson: Likeability is an outcome, not an action.
