Owning Your Voice and Speaking With Intention with Minda Harts

What happens when you use your voice? What happens if you're intentional about what you say and how you show up in the world?

It's not easy to own your voice and show up as your authentic self. As women of color, our voices are quite often silenced in spaces that don't include us. But what if you made the decision to speak up anyway? What if you gave yourself permission to do so?  

Today, Rhonda is laying it all out on the table with the help of her guest, Minda Harts. 

Minda Harts is the CEO of The Memo LLC and an award-winning and best-selling author of The Memo: What Women of Color Need To Know To Secure A Seat At The Table.

Minda is a Professor at NYU Wagner and hosts a live weekly podcast called Secure The Seat. In 2020, Minda was named the #1 Top Voice for Equity in the workplace by LinkedIn. She is an Aspen Ideas Festival Scholar and has been featured on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Fast Company, The NY Times, and Time Magazine. Minda frequently speaks at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Nike, and Bloomberg on topics such as Managing Diverse Teams, Courageous Leadership, and Advancing women of color in the workplace. 

In this episode, Rhonda and Minda discuss:

• How Minda grew into her voice and finding her greater mission
• Knowing your worthiness and what you deserve
• Being authentic vs being intentional
• Why amplifying other voices is a part of the work.
• How we continue moving forward. 

Minda has been one of my most dedicated clients and a key example of what happens when you own your voice to propel your mission.

In The Catalyst Academy, my public speaking incubator for women of color, we teach you exactly how to own your voice, speak with intention, and use speaking to propel your mission. If you are ready to give yourself permission like Minda did, I am offering a free live private training Propel Your Platform Through Public Speaking, on April 12th.
