Welcome back to The Sow to Speak Podcast. This is part three of our spring cleaning series for high-impact, human-centered leaders.
If your leadership voice has been feeling a little buried—under other people’s expectations, your own self-doubt, or just the sheer volume of day-to-day noise—this episode is here to help you find your way back to clarity and confidence.
Before we dive in, a quick heads-up:
On Tuesday, May 13th at 1:00 pm ET, I’m hosting a free, 90-minute masterclass: From Self-Doubt to Trusted Voice: The 3 Communication Secrets Every Inspirational Leader Knows
If you’ve been craving a way to communicate without overthinking or overexplaining, this is for you.
You’ll walk away with strategies to:
Get out of your head and into your voice
Delegate without the guilt
Communicate with presence, not just polish
Today's episode is all about clearing the noise around your leadership voice—so you can speak with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
Here’s what we cover:
→ Strategy 1: Prepare for Every Conversation Using the S.O.W. Method
You don’t need to script every word—but you do need a plan. We walk through a simple way to prep for both big meetings and quick check-ins, so your message is intentional and to the point.
→ Strategy 2: Ask Questions That Help You Understand (The Mirror Technique)
Strong communication isn’t about saying more—it’s about understanding more. This technique helps you ask the right questions, build trust, and respond with greater clarity.
→ Strategy 3: Use the Power Pause
Less is often more. We explore how short, purposeful statements and well-placed pauses can make your words land harder—without trying harder.
You’ll leave this episode with:
A new lens on how you prepare, listen, and speak as a leader
Permission to stop over-explaining and start trusting your voice
Tactical tools you can use in your next conversation
→ Coming up next: We’ll tackle how to declutter your message so it’s more concise, impactful, and inspiring. You won’t want to miss it.
