    58. The Hidden Costs of Public Speaking Pt. 1: The Outfits

    58. The Hidden Costs of Public Speaking Pt. 1: The Outfits

    On top of thinking ( & maybe overthinking) our message and attempting to ease the public speaking nerves, there are so many other factors to consider in our journey.

    Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we'll be exploring "hidden costs". Up first, the outfits. When I started my public speaking journey, all of my outfits were thrifted. I share a part of my story and point you to resources for getting outfits that make you feel confident on stage, as well as where you can donate clothes.

    Remember to SAVE THE DATE for the first ever ¡Latina, Presente! Public Speaking Immersive Experience. Details will continue to be shared on IG.

Love everything! ♥️

I love Yvonne’s gift of sharing her passions such a public speaking, our cultura etc. I’m a storytelling perspective. It’s so good and keeps me hooked when listening to an episode. 💕💕💕

Love love love!!

I wish Chats with Yvonne existed when I was going into college. Each tip is helpful, the vibe is amazing and after an episode you feel empowered and ready to conquer your next speaking goal. I do a ton of presentations and learn after every single one but have also grown and learned a ton from this podcast. Everyone should listen, even if they’re not those who give presentations often, we all benefit from public speaking skills.

THE BEST SPEAKER I KNOW!!

Thank you Yvonne for providing the platform for me to share part of my trajectory in public speaking.

Getting involved in college was the start of my development as an individual. It empowered me to feel confident in myself and not feel embarrassed of my accent or feel shy in speaking up.

I now get to advocate for my students, my culture, and myself.
