Nurah Speaks

Welcome to episode 10! What a mini milestone in the history of Nurah Speaks (I celebrate ALL victories and strongly encourage you to do the same!) Thanks to the listeners for your continued support!

This episode covers: My 8th grade public speaking disaster Why I dislike the phrase ‘fake it til you make it’ The necessity of practice How taking risks can bring us face to face with our gifts Ways to improve our public speaking How having un-empowered language and thinking create an un- empowered reality The importance of reviewing our past work Be sure to tell me your thoughts on this topic and don’t forget to lea
