Finding Your Voice: Building Confidence and Authenticity in Public Speaking

In this episode, we explore the world of public speaking with a passionate speaker who has learned to own her voice and show up her way as an introvert and first gen Latina.

Our guest, Yvonne Armenta, shares insights into how we can redefine what public speaking is to be more inclusive of diverse voices and the importance of being connected to what we're speaking about and who we're speaking to. We also talk about why representation is crucial and how we can gain the confidence to own our story and show up authentically.

Yvonne Armenta is a Public Speaking Creative & Founder of Chats with Yvonne, a space where she helps Latinas & Introverts reconnect with and love the art of public speaking.

Her super power is being able to connect our lived experiences back to why and how we experience the art of public speaking. Beyond the skillset required to be a great speaker, she challenges you to reflect on your experiences to create a map for your public speaking journey that is unique to you. As a keynote speaker for various conferences early in her career, she learned by doing and now, shares her tips for public speaking from her perspectives as a First Gen Latina, older sister, & mujer in tech, who also happens to be an introvert. She calls it: public speaking con cultura.
