In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I chat with Rhonda Kahn, a speaker, coach, and consultant specializing in amplifying the unique voices of leaders and teams. We address the importance of owning your story and how to communicate both intentionally and powerfully. Rhonda shares her journey from a speech-language pathologist to an actor and then a public speaking coach. She also offers practical strategies for managing nerves, connecting authentically in various settings, and using storytelling to enhance communication skills. Whether you're a grad student or professional looking to enhance your communication skills, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate challenging conversations and grow personally and professionally.  If you liked what you heard, check out episode 262 on my top five public speaking skills and episode 233 on my speaking services.
