Owning Your Voice To Excel In Your Career
Have you ever felt like owning your voice at work felt like a struggle?
We've all been there, battling self-doubt and hesitating to make a change because we feel unqualified or undeserving. In this episode of Leading with Intention, our podcast guest is someone who I have admired for years when it comes to owning your voice and showing up authentically in the workplace, founder of E3 Professional Services , an award-nominated author and certified career coach DeAnnah Stinson Reese.
In this episode, DeAnnah shares practical tips on how we can take ownership in the workplace and reach our full potential.
DeAnnah firmly believes that with the proper mindset and strategic approach, we can level up our careers with intention, confidence, and clarity on our goals. By finding our voice within first, we transform how opportunities unfold around us externally.

The first step? Mindset.
"There's no such thing as being overconfident...you probably have been under confident and need to make up for lost time."
DeAnnah emphasizes tackling limiting beliefs like imposter syndrome and building our confidence before pursuing career changes. We must recognize our abilities and boldly envision where we can grow, rather than getting derailed by doubts.
Activate the MVP mindset
"Your role exists for a reason, because it costs for your role to exist. If they didn't need that role, the role would not exist."
Our contributions hold more weight than we realize. Before dismissing your impact, reflect on how your efforts create organizational value.
Identifying our unique professional superpowers and most valuable contributions showcases the difference we make. Whether directly or indirectly, learning to articulate our worth helps us become irreplaceable.
Leverage your career opportunities with intention
With some savvy strategy, we can pivot roles and companies to intentionally gain the right skills without stagnating in one place. Maintain a vision to work toward rather than just reactively going through motions.
Tune in to the full podcast episode for an in-depth exploration of this transformative journey.
Remember, own your voice with bold vision to transform how opportunities unfold. This is just the first step toward reaching your full potential!
When we boldly embrace our inner light, we unlock incredible ripple effects...starting with our own careers, then transforming teams, organizations, and communities. Onward with intention!
