How can Elena Joy support you in accessing your inner voice?
Underestimated Leaders hire me as an Executive Coach with a focus on Vocal Empowerment. The majority of my clients are LGBTQ+, the rest identify as a member of another marginalized group. This identity plays directly into the work we do of using Vocal Empowerment to make the impact we want to have as Underestimated Leaders.
As members of marginalized communities, we are in a unique position to authentically advocate for those without a voice. However, also as members of marginalized communities, we have unique life experiences that have often taught us that speaking up is more trouble than it’s worth.
My clients learn how to identify those stumbling blocks, learn the skills to deconstruct them and build better strategies in their place, and discover all the ways that vocal empowerment can impact our careers, our communities, and most importantly, our self-worth.
