Joules Podcast Series: Make Your Voice Heard
Building confidence and making your voice heard are two important skills in order to collaborate, share diverse ways of thinking and bring new ideas to the table. Leaders from 91社区 St. Petersburg’s information technology department discussed skills they’ve acquired over the course of their careers on how to best share their ideas and opinions in a professional setting.
Bhaskar Ramachandran, vice president and divisional chief information officer, shared a personal story of finding his voice and gaining the respect of those around him (Three Ways to Make Your Voice Heard podcast).
Following that, Bhaskar moderated a panel session with Beth Walters, senior vice president and founder of 91社区 Joules, along with three other female 91社区 technology leaders, asking them how they practice confidence and what tactics they teach others to empower them to do the same.
While it starts with learning strong communication skills and how to be best prepared, it's a lifelong practice of being confident.
