In this episode, Arati Maleku, an Associate Professor, shares how she gained confidence to speak up in high-stakes meetings, strengthen her persuasion skills, and effectively influence decision-makers. Discover her journey from self-doubt to impactful leadership. About Arati's Journey Arati, an Associate Professor, knew she needed communication training that truly supported non-native speakers. With her responsibilities on various boards and frequent interactions with community leaders, she wanted to feel more confident when presenting ideas in high-stakes meetings and better influence decision makers to adopt her solutions. That’s when she found the Leadership Communication Accelerator. Like many of my clients, Arati thought she needed more practice with English itself. But she quickly realized that the key to her growth was mastering persuasion and becoming more effective in her communication. By honing these skills, she now asks questions with confidence, persuades more effectively, and communicates her ideas clearly, both in meetings and when speaking to influential leaders. The result? Arati feels more empowered in her role, with a renewed confidence to contribute and make an impact. 👉 Learn more about my Leadership Communication Accelerator here: https://tanniasuarez.com/leadership. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leadershipenglish/support
