Episode 4.12: Personal Branding is a form of Self-Advocacy, with Urmi Hossain
Urmi Hossain, president of the Royal Speakeasy Toastmasters Club, believes the best way to advocate for yourself comes from finding your voice. In her journey to self-empowerment, she set out to find her voice - both figuratively and literally - through public speaking. A Bengali-Italian by birth, Urmi shares her the emotional labor she underwent to overcome the fear of public speaking in her third language, English. What are some of the barriers we all face when it comes to public speaking? What can we all stand to gain from public speaking skills? Why do people and, particularly, women, need to be more confident with public speaking, even if they’re not in public speaking professions? How does personal branding fit into all of this? Urmi shares her experience with this and more, as she reflects on the introspection, and building confidence when coming from a culture that is riddled with double standards.
