The Power of Your Voice in Business

In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with Zurich-based Communication Architect, Tulia Lopes about how she helps women find their voice, create and share their story and shine on stage, in their career and in life.

 

Tulia is the founder of the Speak Up and Lead Academy, the AWESummit and author of Leading in High Heels – but while today she is a prominent part of the European speaking community, she started her career as an architect. She has also been successful in IT and entrepreneurship before she found her true calling as a speaker and speaker coach while upgrading her own skills in these area more than a decade ago. She is a perfect illustration that where you’ve been does not have to dictate where you go next, and that all your studies, skills and experiences can be blended and adapted to new help you excel in new situations and opportunities (which probably have more similarity to your past roles than you might at first think).

 

Listen to this episode to discover how you too can unleash the power of your voice.

 

“Every obstacle is an opportunity to be creative.” Tulia Lopes

Next GCN event on public speaking – 15 October 2010

We are pleased to be able to return to the Geneva Press Club for our next GCN lunch meeting on 15 October.

This meeting will focus on presentation techniques. Making presentations or preparing others to do so is a key role for many communicators. John Zimmer, a lawyer by trade and expert public speaker at heart, will look at emotion from the perspective of both the speaker and the audience, examine why it is so important, and discuss ways in which to add genuine emotion to your presentations.One of the most famous catchphrases of motivational guru Tony Robbins is “Live with passion!” In fact, that’s also how we should speak: with passion; with emotion. Emotion is usually one of the touchstones of a great speech. It separates great speakers from mediocre ones. And it is one of the best ways of ensuring that your audience remembers your message.

Topic: Presentation Skills: Once More, With Emotion
Date: Friday, 15 October 2010
Time: 12h30 to 14h00
Location*: The Swiss Press Club, Route de Ferney 106, La Pastorale, 1202 Geneva (view directions)
