As part of our special series introducing the incredible women who will be joining us on stage at the Extraordinary Women Ignite Conference this November, Kami Guildner is excited to welcome Cathy Reilly. Ignite is a gathering of women entrepreneurs who are ready to raise their voice, elevate their visibility, and build thriving businesses rooted in Soul+Strategy™. Cathy will be joining us at Ignite with her talk, Beyond the Mic: The Secret Sauce Strategy that Grows Your Business. As many of you know, Kami believes your voice is one of your greatest business assets. Your voice carries your message, your message builds trust, and trust opens the door to relationships, opportunities, clients, and growth. In this conversation, Kami and Cathy explore the power of your voice, the hidden cost of staying silent, how to communicate with confidence without feeling salesy or performative, and what it really takes to build trust and influence through communication. In This Episode: Why your voice is one of your greatest business assets and how it creates trust, opportunities, and growth. The hidden cost of staying silent and how holding back can keep you from your next evolution of success. Why courage comes before confidence and how taking one courageous step changes everything. How women can give themselves permission to be seen, heard, and fully express who they are. Why asking better questions and listening more deeply creates stronger relationships and better business results. How speaking becomes one of the most powerful growth strategies in your business. What it means to communicate with confidence without feeling salesy or performative. Why humans simply want to be seen, heard, and understood, and how that changes the way we communicate. How your energy, presence, and authenticity help people listen, lean in, and trust you. Cathy Reilly is the CEO of Sharing the Shine and founder of The Clarity Code™.
