And it is a bit shocking how fast we can go from confident to insecure with one comment either way.Lisa Braithwaitehttp://coachlisab.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35758167.post-10205624513500811222013-09-12T17:45:38.394-07:002013-09-12T17:45:38.394-07:00This speaks to how important it is to watch what w...This speaks to how important it is to watch what we say to others. A flippant comment can have lasting affects on a person. Sometimes we produce our own insecurities. I remember hearing my voice recorded for the first time and was mortified. Did I really sound like that? No one ever told me i had a bad voice. I just decided one day I didn't like it. Silly, but our biggest hang ups come on that simply don't they?<br />JuliaBraveCommLLChttp://www.bravecommunicationllc.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35758167.post-46956304418033183922013-09-08T09:44:18.172-07:002013-09-08T09:44:18.172-07:00Thanks for reading, Marissa.

In my early days here someone told me I have broken english...because I didn't have an American accent! That wasn't helped by the many "huh?" and quizzical to blank looks from others when i talked. For an aspiring speaker (building up business again), it's been quite a journey overcoming that. Thanks for the encouragement here!Ngina Otiendehttp://intentionaltoday.com/noreply@blogger.com
