You have it for a reason!
God gave it to you - so use it! Karen Laos gives lots of practical tips and strategies for using the voice we're born with, and often don't use! This is a great book for women starting out in business, or feeling a little out-of-their-league as they reenter the work world. And I found it both refreshing and empowering.

Members of our marketing team read this together like a book club! I enjoyed the practical communication tips throughout. “If every word cost us $20, we’d think about each one with much more intention.”
