Nori Jabba Shares with Women How to Master Your Voice

On the Brink with Andi Simon

I love to bring back great guests to our podcast, On the Brink with Andi Simon. Recently, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Nori Jabba, an insightful author, speaker, and advocate for empowering women through their communication skills. With her extensive experience and deep understanding of the challenges women face in leadership roles, Nori's insights are invaluable. In 2023, she joined our podcast to discuss her groundbreaking first book, Keeping Your Seat at the Table, which shed light on the unique obstacles women face in leadership and offered actionable strategies to overcome them.

Women, It is Time to Master Your Voice

Now she has a chapter in a new book, OWN YOUR STORY that is available today on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, among others. Her chapter is about how women have to go beyond finding their voice to mastering that voice.

During our conversation, Nori shared her journey, highlighting the importance of resilience, confidence, and, most notably, the power of voice. Her work encourages women not only to find their voice but also to master it. This mastery, Nori argues, is essential for women to lead and influence others effectively. Her current research focuses on how the way women speak directly affects how they are perceived, heard, and followed in professional settings, providing practical strategies for improvement.

One of the key takeaways from our discussion was Nori's exploration of "verbal mastery." Her latest work emphasizes that it's not just about speaking up but mastering how we communicate. Verbal mastery goes beyond just having a voice at the table. It's about how women can manage or lead depending on how they verbally present themselves—whether they speak with authority or empathy or engage others confidently or openly. This work is particularly relevant in today's professional world, where effective communication is one key essential to a woman's success.

Why Mastery? People Hear What They Want To!

In her chapter, Nori explains that verbal mastery matters in leadership because people hear what they want to hear. When women speak, others are constantly evaluating whether they trust them, whether they'll follow them, and whether they believe in what they're saying. The challenge for women leaders is to recognize this dynamic and adapt their communication accordingly, not only to be heard but also to inspire trust and command respect.
