46: Embracing Your Authentic Voice with Berit Elizabeth, MA
Ever struggled with having hard conversations? Did you know that our body language, posture, and voice can impact how we feel and how others perceive us during difficult conversations? It’s true! Berit Elizabeth, Founder and CEO of Practice Axis, shares her journey as an entrepreneur and anti-shame activist, discussing her technique called Emotive Agility.
